Hello there
Managed to plant up the herbs today and some more of my tiny lavender plants for a friend.
Looked out for a Spitfire which was to fly over our local hospital. We're only about 2 miles away so thought we might see it. Unfortunately it came from the other direction so it was like a tiny toy plane. We could definitely hear it though!
Gradually working my way through Talking Heads. I'd forgotten how dark they are. Love them though. I grew up in the same town at the same time as Alan Bennett. Must have heard the same expressions as him every day. And yet he can turn them into something so clever! A real talent.
Happy sunny evening everyone

Evening all.
Felt rotten for a lot of today with sinus issues - my own fault as it is histamine related and comes from both the atmosphere and my diet and i've been eating a lot of histamine rich foods (basically anything old - in my case sourdough bread and cheddar, and yogurt). then i did some yoga and hanging in downward facing dog for prolonged periods did me in!
ANyhoo pleasures for yesterday
1. I went out out - emaness for a coffee with friend. All very distanced, screens in place. felt safe. i wore mascara!
2. Washing hung on the line
3. gin and nuts! a weekend only treat these days.
4.watched ambulance with OH and DD
5. Reading through and amending my first draft - it isn't that bad (i fully expect this to change after my next meeting).
And today
1. yoga was good until i began to feel sick
2. Had my hair done! First time since January 27th.. Was all very safe and good to take the weight off it and have the colour and fringe restored.
3. OH and i have been for a walk over the fields - 6 miles done and was good to be out.
4. Family film night - DD's choice but i'm not sure what it will be
5. New pants! Sorry if TMI
Have a great evening.I wanna be in the room where it happens15 -
