    There is plenty of time to be active , just do what feels right at the time. It was a lot cooler outside today , especially in the shade. 
    Is DH still at home or is he still popping into work ? 
    Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.

    Dh is at home. I agree about it being a lot cooler - I’ve actually had a blanket over me - proper Granny style - knitting under a blanket- HOW did I get to this stage 😂😂😂 It looked lovely and sunny out there - was warmer than in the house.

    So also after tea I gave myself a kick up the backside and went for a lovely evening stroll. I’m up to just short of 8000 steps now which is a bit more respectable 😉 We saw a family of ducklings - 10 of them and a goose sitting on a nest of 5 great big eggs. I’m so pleased I got up off my backside and shaped myself. It’s so easy to forget what we have on our doorstep 😀😀

    Glad you ended up having a nice stroll.  It was lovely yesterday, quite cool though, the sun was very deceiving.  A bit warmer today though. I think it's nice to have a lazy day from time to time, you shouldn't feel guilty you're just recharging your batteries.

    If there’s reports of something gleaming unusually  in the North West...... I’ve been out and cleaned both cars this morning. 🚘🚙 🌞🌞 it was very pleasant out there too. I’ve haven’t ventured to clean inside the cars yet as the floor is too wet after using the hosepipe to take the hoover out there...but that’s on the list for later today or tomorrow when it’s safe to trail electrical wires through the window. Plus my arm was aching - it’s the same movement as cleaning windows which is still uncomfortable.
    I had a chat with the new people next door (🤔they’ve been there 2 years now but we all still call them the new people 😳) They were at a family wedding a few weeks ago - just before lockdown. His gran has since showed symptoms of the virus and has passed away and then his auntie passed away with it a couple of days ago. His mum has symptoms too but so far not serious...so sad 😢 The guests of the wedding were all told to self isolate- luckily my neighbours are both ok after 14 days quarantine....brought the seriousness of it all home.....I feel for the bride and groom - not a way you want to remember your wedding day.
    Right I’m going to sit outside with my book for an hour or so. I’m having a rest from knitting as my arm is aching a tad today.

    Blimey that's dire.

    It's chuffing freezing here.

    It’s been a beautiful day here Beanie. We went for a walk once it had cooled down a bit this evening. A slightly different route this evening - we walked around the ponds again and saw the mummy goose on her nest - 5 enormous eggs under her....we watched her carefully turn the eggs and settle back down tucking her bedding in to prevent a draught getting to them. It was fascinating. We stood a while watching her.
    So I’m totally confused about work.....when I went off there was a whole list of conditions mentioned and one of them was a free flu injection from the GP  which I have. And we were strongly advised not to go in.....there’s been an email today and the list is much shorter and only mentions the conditions which gps have sent letters out for where you have to self isolate for 12 weeks.  So I think I need to go back in work on Monday......I’ll see what the headteacher says tomorrow although she isn’t allowed to advise  or maybe ring the GP surgery.......🤔🤔
