Yes @milann, there were over 100 of us in the group. I think people are a bit worried about meeting up with strangers right now.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5

Ooh, now I have Primarni envy! When I go to my Mum's old house there are fleecy PJs and faux sheepskin Primarni slippers that were a treat to myself one chilly day when I changed trains on the way there all on my ownsome. They are still good a couple of years later but then they don't get the wear that my everyday ones do. I used to call in at a very, very big Primarni to console myself for making those trips.
I think places like churches and libraries are quite often Pokestops. My husband managed a photo of a Pokemon in a library - and my colleagues were alarmed one night when our workplace car park suddenly filled with youngsters who were after a Pokémon that had turned up there. I've never 'seen' one - so I'm not sure how DH got the photo, but there it is!

Morning, happy Sunday 😎
Been up since 6am, relaxing with a coffee and my book. I love early mornings when it’s quiet.Really need to get my winter clothes out today and pack away the summer ones. Going to be really ruthless and anything I don’t wear is going in the charity bag. Won’t bother getting my smart work trousers out as it looks like I’ll be WFH for the next 6 months.Also need to do a meal plan for the week ahead. Got some new recipes to try and plenty in the freezer to use up.
Have a super Sunday xI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6 -
Morning SA , same here on the work clothes , you may find things you forgot you had which is like getting new clothes , happy clothes sorting. Good to hear you enjoyed Friday and that you saw your GKs and family. I think here we are so used to lockdown rules when we ever get more freedom we won't know what to do with it. Our pubs and restaurants have been shut for 3 weeks now and some are saying they won't be reopening ever again.Have a good day .Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.8

It’s such a shame for the pubs and restaurants in lockdown areas, just terrible 😩 I love it when I discover clothes I’d forgotten about, especially when I buy things in the end of the season sales, put them away then rediscover them.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6

I'm glad you seem pleased about working from home for a while longer. You sound like you really enjoyed visiting your friend and it must have done you good to have a break from Mr SA. It's nice that DS, GF and DGC were able to visit too

I'm getting out my winter clothes too this weekend as it's suddenly got so cold. The trouble is I have to wash mine before I can wear them (even though I always pack them away clean) because of my allergies, so I always spend a day or so freezing whilst they're washing and drying 😨.

I hadn’t realised your pubs were shut SA. I suppose we’ll follow soon. Not that it’ll bother me think I’ve eaten out 3 times since March.
