Things can only get better

Yeah I think am avoiding Saturdays for a while now. I am quite glad to have not been out for a while - to the shops I mean. 
Big hugs SA.

Morning all  

Mr SA and the dog not up yet, so much for taking the dog for a walk early to avoid the rush 😂 I feel so rushed in the mornings, feel I've got to rush and get out before everyone else.  Everyone round our way seems to have at least one dog.

Got up first thing to amend my Mr M delivery for Tuesday, only in the queue 6 minutes, just hope it doesn't get cancelled. It is what it is though.  After that I'll buy a shopping trolley and toddle off to Aldi when we need something.  To be honest Iceland yesterday didn't look too bad, queuing outside but folks were coming out with toilet rolls so they must be pretty well stocked, could be an option.  

Been doing techie things on my laptop, have downloaded Zoom so I can attend the WW workshops via my laptop rather than via my phone. Got You Tube all ready for the workouts, will be easier to follow on a bigger screen.  Slowly getting myself organised.

Need to sort out a proper routine going forward, still feel a bit all over the place, will probably just about get it all sorted then we'll be back to normal. 

Have a good Sunday xx

The latest news is that lockdown is likely to last 13 weeks.

SA, was it you who was looking for pilates classes? These are only 5 minutes but might be worth a look. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQNB-gWt0MY&feature=share&fbclid=IwAR0xmVftXlnWZI5prhs6TMKI9wgWeCW3V_Wju0pfHXoVmB-GM6nCaNzqeSI

Yes I was @joeyjimbles thanks I'll take a look.

@beanielou - not surprised in the least.  To be honest I won't feel safe for at least 6 months.  We need it gone and everything thoroughly cleaned before it's safe to go back out. I think this year will more or less be a write-off.  

Took the dog on the park earlier and was surprised to find we were the only ones there, although the fact that it was freezing cold, windy and trying to snow may have something to do with it. She had a good run with her ball so she's happy, will give her another run in the garden later. 

DD has gone to work.  She's concerned about picking up the virus and bringing it home but the shop is doing everything they can to keep things sanitised and she's washing her hands and going straight up to her room so we're not really in contact with her, she social distances at the best of times 😂

On the plus side I'm starting to be able to concentrate on my book more which means I'm moving into the acceptance stage. I really feel for those with MH issues I can't believe to imagine how they're coping with it. I dare say there'll be a fair few people who didn't have them before but will do during this crisis. 

Anyway need to clean the bathroom and steam mop the floors...

I am not quite at the concentrating to be able to read hHooefully soon.

Everyone is saying the same Beanie.  I joined a FB group Radio 2 book club and they were all saying it too.  

Making a butternut squash risotto tonight as I need to use up the squash and some mushrooms.  I never got round to replacing my Arborio rice when it ran out (you snooze you lose) so I will be using pearl barley which is a pretty good substitute. Mr SA is having a pork loin joint which is cooking in the slow cooker. 

Usually do the finances on Sunday but gone off the boil with it a bit, will pick it up when I get paid on Tuesday.

Mr SA is talking about going out on his scooter tomorrow just round the block.  Can't see a problem with it really as he won't be going near anyone. It might do him good to see people queuing outside the shops in their masks and gloves.  He's started on a birthday pester and wants a digital watch, sat constantly searching for them on his Kindle and showing them to me. He's got several digital watches, all similar.  I've tried to make him see he might have to be patient and wait until all this is over and have a delayed birthday but of course he's not playing ball. He seems to be totally oblivious to what's going on which must be nice.

Happy days, found a bag of arborio rice at the back of a cupboard. This is what happens when you’re small and stand on a stool, all sorts of things lurking have been revealed 🤣

It's a bit like "ready, steady cook", isn't it? I'm trying to figure out how to incorporate Himself's chutney collection into my meal plan.

I’m sorry to hear you know of somebody on a ventilator- it makes it so much more real. But as was mentioned before we don’t hear of the folk making recoveries...but I’m sure there are many.
Your dd must be shattered if your Morrison’s is anything like ours...👏👏👏 to your dd and many others too.
ive sent you a pm 👍
