  • I agree that it's best to do what makes you feel comfortable. The lakes will still be there when things settle hopefully. 
    Glad the balloons and cake were appreciated.

  • Lovely week off so far, plenty of local walks being had. Glad I decided to stay at home , today I am meeting a friend for a walk along coffee . I am starting to feel very isolated when I am not working , so company is much needed. My niece's partner has now tested positive so she is in isolation until next Wednesday. I dropped some flowers and supplies off at the front door last night which were much appreciated. 
    Yesterday I ventured to the big shopping centre and it was fairly empty , I only went to one shop and came away . 
    My mission today is to go to the local hairdressers and see if I can get my hair done , I know it's vanity but I need it doing . 
    My last Covid test from the trial took 48 hours to come back this time , it was negative so all good. I have downloaded the app now and put my test result on it. 
    Everyone have a good day . 
    Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.

    I have been part of a trial through a hospital to do with my lungs , I just get the message that everyone gets who has been tested and then I let them know . I am finished now though as it was only for 3 months .

    I hope your niece is doing OK. Great idea to drop off some socially distanced goodies for her!
    I know how you feel about isolation, I work from home and before the pandemic I volunteered at a youth group. The youth group's on hold due to covid and I really miss getting out and seeing people.
