Good morning Mick and everyone. The horrid weather seems to be all over the country, although I can say that there's a bit of lighter grey amongst the dark! Glad you had a good day yesterday Mick - and that you're putting a bit of weight back on. (I'm putting on weight too, but that's not a case for rejoicing!). Miss Chatelaine so glad your kitchen is finally finished. What a joy that must be.
Sad that England is back into lockdown, but I'm certain it's the right decision. I hope the month will do the trick. I'm sure at some point Scotland will be joining you sadly. This is not going to go away quietly.
Off out today to meet DD and her girls for a late morning breakfast instead of lunch. It's DGD3's choice as it's her 15th birthday next week - she saw the menus of the restaurant and discovered that they have pancakes with maple syrup on the breakfast menu! Afterwards she is going to have a lovely time going round shops with money in her pocket - how exciting to be 15!
My journey to Perth will be longer than usual as I have to avoid Dundee and take the scenic route. It's a beautiful drive - on a nice day - but the hills are shrouded in mist today. A bit like the spirits of us all, I suspect. Anyway I'm so looking forward to seeing my Girls and must go now and see what I can do to the ravages of age to make myself more presentable!
Whatever you are doing - or even not doing - today, I hope you find at least moments of warmth and happiness. Joy in small things. ???
To think that London, or anywhere else for that matter, does not belong to any one demographic
