We really do, SL
living the high life here! I *do* try to do the jobs that were postponed for years while I was ill, or while I was bored by lockdown 
because when (and I really hope its "when") I manage to get out again, I want those jobs **done**

I'm pretty sure that *everyone's* niggly DIY jobs will be completely finished by the time life gets anywhere near back to normal! (I did a survey this morning that asked what I thought about it being mandatory to wear masks for the next 12-18 months - would I welcome it? Well, no, I hate the bloomin' things, but I can certainly see that it might be necessary - but don't talk about it, that's just depressing!).

TMV this made me chuckle - Early last month, I had a moan to my manager that my staycation at the end of August had been absolutely useless as the usual long list of to-do's had become next to non-existant after 5 months of working from home! Having a 10 second commute instead of a 2 hour commute, means all the little niggly bits have surely but slowly been ticked off! At this rate, I may have to re-develop some hobbiesthemadvix said:I'm pretty sure that *everyone's* niggly DIY jobs will be completely finished by the time life gets anywhere near back to normal! ...

Morning! Sadly, my list of to-do jobs is *not* going to become extinct
I was absolutely exhausted yesterday - did too much on Tuesday, including
gardening, changing the bed, soaking the mattress protector in the bath,
wm on twice, cleaning myself up after all that ... my body just stopped
working, though I had two deliveries yesterday, including Sainsbo
frozen veg, so I *had* to clean and dry that lot to put it in my
freezer. Managed to get a fair amount of sleep yesterday, which helped. Completely normal things - the gardening was clipping the top of a bush, for a change, not navvying, but it all knocked me out for 48 hours Switched the computer on for the first time just now

The Essex Tier 2 affects lots round here. The nearest place to us is the train station place but their rate is lower than here (because the high school has a bit of an outbreak affecting the villages around here).
