Yum and hurrah for nice card for DS. Have a great day today.

Have been very tired the last few days. Just walking the dog in the mornings and working. 

I have a bit of a dilemma. It’s one of the girls birthdays on Sunday and she has arranged a socially distanced picnic in the park tomorrow afternoon. Not sure how many going around 6. This is allowed from Monday but not on Saturday. Does a few days matter?.

The thought of going is really stressing me out. I want to see friends but I’m finding it hard to go from seeing none to seeing 5 or 6 at once as well as breaking lockdown rules. 🙁

That is a bit of a dilemma and I don't know what to say. Normally, I would try to put myself in your shoes, weigh it up then comment, but this is a hard one especially as ours has only just started to get lifted.

With everything that's gone on the last week or so, a lot of people have got fed up and restarted their lives, others have continued to pause it.

Seeing groups of people after being around one or two, that's what's concerned me for ages now too. 

I'm sorry, I know this is no help but you are not alone.

Thanks MF. I still haven’t decided, I will see how the day progresses. 

Just took puppy dog round the pond in the sun. It is so peaceful this morning everyone must have been having a lie in. There is another group of moorhen babies, 8 little Black balls of fluff ☺️ Also saw the heron close to the path. Saw the swans with their babies the other day, they are getting very big babies now 😃

I’m sat on the kitchen sofa with the patio doors open and it is so quiet. No kids, cars, hammering or drilling or lawnmowers. Puppy dog is laying on her new “cool” mat that DS’s gf got in Aldi. It’s got some sort of gel in it which cools when she lays on it 🐶

Right, time for breakfast and then will start looking at gas & electric.

To be honest after Cummings got away with breaking lockdown no one is going to be following the rules. Boris deliberately timed the easing of lockdown announcement before the weekend to appease the public disgust for endorsing Cummings's actions. It is a matter of opinion but I feel he has given the green light for lockdown to end despite wishes of SAGE. As a vulnerable you are more at risk so see how you feel. Is it possible to pop along socially distanced for part of the event and walk doggie past so you can have some fun but in a safe way or perhaps meet earlier before the whole group arrives so there is less risk. Either way make sure you have a wonderful weekend.

It’s so hot ! 🥵 Have spent the day pottering around & watching tv. It’s too hot for me so I have stayed out of the sun. 

I decided not to go to the socially distanced picnic in the park. Felt a bit daft, but very relieved so I know I made the right choice. Sent a message to the girl organising and said I would come another time when I feel more confident about going out. 

Placed a prime amazon order for food delivery from morresons tomorrow, so that should arrive in the morning after I have walked puppy dog. DS & his gf are taking her to the forest a bit later tonight once the sun has gone & it’s cool enough for her. She’s been laid on her cool mat under the kitchen fan for most of the day 🐶😎

I've worked out a meal plan assuming everything in my order arrives tomorrow

Glad you are safe. You did make the right choice going by what the scientists said today. Hurrah for meal plan and happy food shopping. I keep popping into the garden and it is warmer than it looks and it looks pretty warm!!!

You did make the right choice, give it a while and start increasing what you do, then you will feel ready when the time is right.

It is too hot, it's supposed to be 21° up here, certainly feels a lot hotter!

Have you got some ice cubes to drop into PDs water bowel? She might appreciate that 🤗

M are quite good with their stock levels now, hopefully everything you want arrives, but go for a substitute item or omit it in your meal if need be.

Hope it is bearable by you weather wise, it is boiling already by me. Have a good day.
