lets get out and about on Monday

We are off to Somerset on Monday to spend a few days in our caravan which is stored on a camp site there. Making sure all is ok, ready to go down the following week to tow it to Lyme Regis.

Fanny I hope you do not get too many after effects after your jab

S'alright Fanny, I've deleted a dozen

It would seem that Eric Clapton the musician had a " disastrous reaction " to his first AZ jab, " which made him fear he'd never play music again ". So questions the safety of it.

I don’t feel the need to go anywhere or spend anything but I’m happy you’re free to do it.

Couldn't have put it better Tanith

On Monday I am hoping that my new washing machine will be delivered. The old one broke down a week ago. Also, at some point tomorrow I have to collect my new glasses. After that, some food shopping as I have a visitor coming on Tuesday. I would like to take her out for lunch, but I don't think she will want to go to a restaurant just yet. We will, however go to our local garden centre.

Not sure we’ve saved anything, not on shopping, anyway. Given the number of Hermes and Royal Mail deliveries (not just mine either) it’s very likely more than we’d have spent in ‘proper’ shops. Mind you I’ve never enjoyed trawling the shops anyway.

We’ve def. saved on holidays, though.

Nothing planned for Monday, but we do have two meet-up-again lunches planned before the end of the month.?

Exactly the same here.

Away for a few days,, but self catering, not confident about sharing premises at the moment. If the weather is fine we may have a meal in the open air but not indoors yet.

Lunch with my friend at our favourite restaurant on Wednesday.
I have managed to eat at outdoor venues with my family but dear friend feels the cold, so have only managed to meet twice in the last fourteen months.
Hopefully we’ll soon be back to our beloved theatres and fingers crossed, maybe a Uk holiday.

Most money has been saved on holidays, especially travelling abroad and eating out I suspect. Some have cheered themselves up by on line purchases, me included, but modest outlay compared to holidays. (In my case anyway). It’s a self catering cottage for us this year. Am fairly cautious about hotels and restaurants for a few weeks, until it’s clear how the Indian variant is spreading.

Off to the dentist in the morning. That's about it as far as outings go tomorrow I think.

Lunch out with friends booked for Tuesday & Wednesday, cinema seats booked for Friday evening followed by a meal out and tickets for an RHS garden booked for Saturday.

Oh but isn’t it just wonderful from tomorrow to have choices again?
?
It’s been such a long time, living this half life. (albeit necessary).

I have been out to restaurants twice now. Outside of course. I have no plans for tomorrow but being able to go out and see family and friends again is wonderful.

It's been so nice just putting dates in the diary after months of blank pages.

It will be lovely to dress up again for a meal out instead of lounging around the house in comfy clothes which I feel I have become to comfortable in!

I’ve got a lovely week planned Tuesday work followed by second haircut after lockdown Wednesday work the morning then lunch inside a pub/restaurant with best friend Thursday work morning then opticians in the afternoon then Friday coffee and snack with a film afterwards with another close friend
Blimey I ll need a weekend rest after all that ?

I don't feel I have had choices taken away from me. I feel I have decided to follow what has seemed good advice from the various scientists - the do know more about it than I do and are prepared to say when they don't. If they sometimes seemed concerned about what Johnson intended I have generally waited until they didn't or things changed. At they moment various scientists - and some politicians - seem concerned. I don't see me changing anything very much from tomorrow; I will continue to make my own choices based on the facts available.

PippaZ ?

Nothing booked for today but we have daughter and son-outlaw coming for lunch on Sunday and sister-in-law and her husband coming for dinner and the night the next day. It will be strange as this is the first time we will have entertained anyone in our new house, apart from cups of tea for builders!

We are not going anywhere, everyone is coming to us, scaffolders, builders, electrician, but we do have an appointment at the hospital 15 miles away on Wednesday!

I would love to spend money - but I don't have any. Covid has cost me more not less.

I wont be out spending because my disposible is £20.00 a week and waiting for my state pension, that i should have got 6 years ago.

On the positive 14 weeks to go now,

Aquafit!!!!

I have one indoor event planned later in the week, afternoon tea for two in Wisley. I'll go ahead with it but today is only a date really. It's not an official statement of safety. BJ can't give out bad news other than to say be careful and I plan to eat or drink outside until things are safer. I spent money online and takeaways from my favourite local restaurant. WHile I do feel for those in business who have suffered I'd hate to see another lockdown later in summer for the sake of a week or two.

Aquafit!!!!

I am rather hoping Aquafit doesn't start in our pool!
It's been lovely having it to ourselves... and sometimes I've had it just for me - heavenly!
