2020 - 'Nothing in your life will change until you make the decision to change'

Good to hear you're feeling a bit better.  These are certainly trying times for everyone.  I'm trying to keep busy and have some sort of routine, not easy when you're on your own.  Neighbours and friends have been extremely kind and have all offered help.  I get a phone call every day so at least I get to hear a friendly voice.

Lovely to hear from you retired, funnily enough I'd just been thinking about you and wondering how you were.  I'm glad you've got people round you.  It is very difficult isn't it.

It was quite emotional last night seeing and hearing all the clapping going on.  Lovely that people everywhere took part.

I've started re-reading Stephen King's The Stand.  It's very close to the bone at the moment.  One of my favourite books though.

Thank goodness it's Friday.

I thought the clapping was lovely too. Really hope these measures make a real difference.  Grateful for the sunny weather too. Glad your DH is at least getting the 80% and is helping more.

Thank you.  I really hope they do too.

Well that's the first full week done.  I'm really pleased it's over, and it made a difference to have a couple of chats with colleagues this afternoon.
I've written my 'to do' list for next week to try and focus more on what I need to do.  Then two weeks off.

I'm going to chill out this weekend and try and potter about and spend time with the kids.

I went to Morrisons and was quite impressed with their organisation and levels of stock.  I only didn't manage to get 2 items on my list.  They were still lacking in the usual items, but it wasn't stuff I needed.  I was amazed how cheap fuel was when I went past, I haven't seen it that low for years!

Glad your main job's done and you were able to stock up.

Glad work is done now and you're on holiday . Also good that a supermarket actually had food in it 🤣.

I've got another week before I'm on holiday, but good to have a couple of days off.  
I was walking around the supermarket in wonder ' 'look at all the food' 🤣
