Good evening all, pleasures for yesterday....
No lie in as the HT was up early but....
All laundry done and dried before work
Work was back to being busy after being very quiet on Friday. We didn't mind the quiet as we went through the place and gave everything an extra clean (we scrub skirting boards, table legs, everything - we must be the cleanest cafe for miles) but it was good to be busy again
Still happy that my sister cancelled her trip to New York (it's all rebooked now)
Dinner was proper snorkers from the butchers with hash browns and beans, yum!
Some work on project five then early bed as I stayed up late reading for a couple of nights and I was tired
Take care all of you10 -
Hello. Alarm set and up early. Wanted to get a few things done before I went out.
was kindly given lifts there and back to allotment. It was new members day then the AGM. Was down early to help show new folk around.Poor H just assumed he was coming too when he say my bag, boots and gilet! Sorry my boy.
Home and pottered around. Had a very mini snoozette.
planted some violas .
washing out and almost dry.
nice messages back and forth from friends,
DD1 arriving safely at her next destination.9 -
Both DH and I are starting to feel a bit antsy, as we are both in at risk groups.
1 Our left over takeaway made 4 more meals
2 I’ve been doing more clearing stuff this time the glasses are packed away.
3 There has also been lovely hot teas and fresh made fruit smoothies, I may be surreptitiously trying to help immunity.
4 Escaping into a book.
5 Our boy, who is also missing her, clambered into our bed and slept with us for a while last night.

where on earth did they find some footie vjsmum? bop and i'll be right over!!! This could be the hatters' longest period not losing a match during the season
1) awake stupidly early - must remember to shut my en suite door tonight (it faces east). farming today was very interesting - all about flies - i learnt about dollies
2) church - remembered to take stuff for the food bank. must be really difficult not having money AND the shelves emptying of the reasonably priced staples
3) treated myself to the latest Hilary Mantel. I still have bring up the bodies on my shelf to read, but methinks the evenings will be freer than i had anticipated for a while!
4) then home for a massivo declutter. Another 12 bags of books for the Oxfam book shop - that'll be 34 in total! i think that's all shelves done, and my office is nearly reclaimed. The record player is now above the vinyls (it was not only in a different room but on a different floor!) and the dvds are in the room with the dvd player (again previously in a room on a different floor!)
5) thinking of moving to Ambridge - covid-19 panic seems to have passed them by. Bliss!
Stay safe, stay sane my friends xxx

Pleasures for today (Sunday).
1) A lie in.
2) Really struggled with the BSD (day 7) and felt a bit wan today, for the first time. Made a curry for tea with lots of veg and coconut milk and had some of smaller son's broccoli cheese with it. So pretty BSD but probably more than I've been eating. Feel better now! Made fish cakes from scratch for smaller son (to go with the broccoli).
3) Hens OK.
4) Odd jobs - finally took all the sacks of manure from the car and put them on the allotment! And loaded up the broken bits of concrete from outside my house from the old path. First daffodil is out - mine come out a week letter than those 2 doors down as I'm right on top of the hill.
5) Went to see my mum and dad and had an argument with my brother about mending their broadband. Downloaded Duolingo on to mum's phone (she's very good at French). They are now self-isolating, which makes sense as any serious illness would be the end of dad (heart failure). Of course, my brother is coming and going all the time, but he won't be told...
6) Some messages from bigger son, who is at the company's Norfolk site. He's been climbing with a colleague this afternoon. When the UK schools shut down (or stop doing residential trips) I presume he will be made redundant.
