Morning. It’s bright and sunny, but not terribly warm yet. We are promised a warmish, dry day, 19 C in E Kent.
Mick, if I were you I’d accept holidays in autumn. I love going away then, and in spring... enjoy your fish and chips.
The painters have left. They gave me a lovely bunch of florist flowers and a box of chocolates! Apparently, we were among the very nicest clients ever. And they told us to call them to do any little job, including installing a blind I ordered yesterday. How nice is that?
Today is going to be spent tidying up. I don’t want to do my study/sew room until the new Ikea stuff arrives next week. It might be a bit of a power struggle with DH. Never fear, I usually win ?
Otherwise, life plods on. To be honest, isolation hasn’t really been that different, just inability to meet the odd person for coffee or the rare foray to shops. The only change has been our inability to visit DD and her family in Bristol. Since we no longer drive that far, train might be a bit iffy for the moment.
I hope today kind to you all. Enjoy the sunshine and warmth if you get it.
Stay safe, stay well.
