Milann's life keeps getting in the way.......

OBL I like to try to keep smiling - I have my moments when I can’t 😢 but eventually smiling always wins 😄😄 much better than the alternative 👍👍
SG2 there’s no chance of getting in the NT is there....are they still open now we’re in T4? We might try a Thursday when dh is off....we managed that a while ago and I quite fancy trying the same walk to see if I can manage it better - I’m sure I can 😄👍

Yes NT places still open in Tier 4 . The very big park near me with the boating lake was very very busy today , everyone is walking because there is nothing else to do.

It was quite busy on our walk too....like you say not a lot else to do

Sending positive vibes to your SIL milann. I hope she recovers soon. 

Your walk sounded really nice - I too noticed quite a few out walking (and running) today.

The thing is with these new schemes such as track and trace they’ll be setting people on with scant training just to get bums on seats. I’ve experienced it myself was given 3 days brief training at work then expected to be an expert on COVID schemes and advise people having never worked in customer service before.

I have a small park across the road from my house, it’s not usually that busy, but during lockdowns it becomes a local hotspot. Passed someone today, heard them saying I’ve never been here before.

Ir must be a logistical nightmare to organise track and trace and everything else COVID. I was just surprised she didn’t read what she was going to have to say before phoning...... but there again I suppose they have to be seen to phone the numbers given rather than use common sense..... On the plus side sil only found out herself today she was positive and track and trace  phoned dh within a couple of hours of sil hearing. I’d hate to have to make the decisions about what to do at this time....wouldn’t want a job in any government for anything. Hindsight is wonderful 😳😱

Lazy day today....breakfast in bed watching tv. It was icy this morning so we decided to stay in. We’ve started watching the Queens Gambit....it’s pretty good so far....nearly at the end of episode two. I’m pleased we stayed in we’ve had sunshine, snow, hailstone, rain and we’ve got more snow forecast. 

We’ve had a video chat with the gks which was lovely. The little one is animal mad and is quite insistent that she NEEDS a rabbit....not a toy one but one she can give carrots and cucumber 😂😂😂😂 Don’t think she’ll be getting one any time soon if my dd has her way....

My DD was desperate for a dog when she was little. I always resisted as Mr SA and I were working and we had 3 cats. She finally got her wish 8 years ago 🤣

SA I think she should be thankful it’s a rabbit gdd wants....little one also loved her auntie’s horse and her Nana’s dogs....she breeds golden retrievers.....she wants one of those every time they visit her. They still haven’t told the children about the poor horse’s demise 😱 Their auntie is after another horse though. It’ll be a while until they visit her again so they’re hoping she might have a new horse by then and it’ll lessen the blow for them when they find out.

I used to ask my parents if I could have a horse when I was little and the answer was always no, surprise surprise 🤣, but we did have a dog. Your snowy walk sounds nice Milann, I love snow ❄❄❄.

I think you seem a very cheerful person Milann 🙂, it's good to look on the bright side as few situations have no positives and being negative makes us feel worse about everything.
