    Your swim with GKs sounds good. Everyone I know has good reports about their pools. Must venture back myself.
    Have a good week.

    Nothing wrong with a pj day - like you say you’ve had no online meetings. 😂😂 
    Hope you get a decent quote for your insurance 👍

    Nothing beats a good PJ day.
    Especially on a day like today!
    I was so wet when I got home that I changed into mine & then someone came to the blooming door  :lol:

  • Pleased to report that I am dressed today , definitely hope to get out for a walk so long as it stays fairly dry. 
    Work has been steady so far this week, by the end of the school holidays things seem to taper off slightly . 
    I have booked another swim for Friday for the GKs and myself, you have to be quick to get a booking it's very popular. 
    Tomorrow the local lockdown is reassessed , I am hoping my area can come out of some of the restrictions as our cases of Covid are very low now, we shall see. 
    My mum watched the programme about a second wave and was quite upset with everything this morning . I wish she wouldn't watch these things, I won't be. 
    Best get on with some more work.

    I’m hoping my area has restrictions eased too as we are fairly low now. Hopefully they won’t class the county as a whole and look at the areas within the county 🤞 Not much use for meeting up with friends in the holidays though as I’ll be back at work next week.
    Enjoy your swim and day with your gks.

    I hope we come out of it too. I have been watching the news too and looking at statistics. It seems the cases are lowering so hopefully we can start to ease a little. x

  • Yay yay we are out of local lockdown in my area , plus I think 2 fellow MSE folk are also out. Today the GKs have been hyper they are definitely ready for school. We went swimming all good again. Then we went to a local shopping centre surrounded by water . Had our lunch and went for a walk, we saw some people from a soap opera who had probably been filming. Went past a museum and over a bridge and back to where we started . I have spent about £30 today but all budgeted for so happy with that. Looking forward to a 3 day weekend .
