    Disabled hubby and claustrophobic me trapped in car in traffic jam is my idea of hell. Add on crowds with him in wheelchair and you've guessed we are staying home....aaaahhhh...and relax....

    Shopping and cooking done ahead so crafts it is. I have a raggy quilt I want to make but have been putting it off as I'm not sure I can do it. I have watched you tube countless times so I'm ready now.

    Ditto re: DH with me Ginny, plus a doggie who hates crowds and traffic, really appreciate our quiet countryside here.

    I had a nice day out yesterday and finished it with a big glass of Irish cream over ice for dinner :)

    Today I was busy all morning, and took a long brisk walk this afternoon followed by a hot bath, cleaned the bathroom and am feeling thoroughly relaxed now. Have just cancelled my plans to go out this evening because frankly I CBA to tear myself away from my recliner, let alone get dollied up and go into town.

    A pile of books and my hot latte beckon :j
