I've booked a haircut - the first one in over a year!

I'm going for a walk with somebody on Sunday and we're planning to have a picnic if the weather's nice. First time I've been with anybody face-to-face (apart from the GP and dentist) for more than a year.

To those of you who mentioned missing the library (I am in England), I borrow e-books using Libby. Once you have done it a couple of times, it is very easy. I use my i-pad as we are not allowed to download them to Kindle.

Yesterday took a hot pasty I made in the morning to Goodwood and after a walk in the woods sat on our chairs and enjoyed the hot pasties?.

It’s called making the most of the freedom.

I am a Hairstylist at a Senior Community!

Believe me the Sr. Population has suffered thru Covid. We have been required by State Board to have only 2 Stylists on the floor at a time, 6 ft. apart., , people must wait outside. Trying to wear a mask with hearing aids, glasses, oxygen and a mask is tough on Clients. This is a 5 person Salon. We just book as many people as we can, and they are so grateful. As of last week we can have Clients wait inside the Salon in the reception area. I ‘m so glad the restrictions are cautiously easing up!

Going to Moab tomorrow, Utah has the same restrictions as Denver. To be outside on vacation will feel wonderful. We also hope to go to Europe in October, we’ll see how they are recovering -

I think Spring and warmer weather cheer people up, looking forward to garden, long walks, sun ?

Just now we have no restrictions at all except we can’t go overseas, not that you’d want to. We don’t even have to wear masks except if you go to the doctors or a hospital. No cases for many weeks . But. We are opening the airports to overseas travellers in a couple of weeks and I am absolutely certain it will all start up again. Our vaccine rollout is very,very slow which doesn’t help.

I plan to drive to a large town and do some essential as well as investigative shopping now that 'stay at home' thas been relaxed a little. This will be good for the car and me. All positive.
