I hope you have a better day tomorrow Jwil. Everyone is under a lot of stress and anxiety at the moment.

It's good that you got your shopping done 🙂.

Thank you   Not so grumpy today so far

Sorry your leg is hurting you - are you just on pain relief or have the docs suggested anything that could help?

I haven't been to the docs about it, I think I injured it during aqua aerobics one time. Dr google suggests groin strain.  I will keep trying with the exercise and then when everything settles down, will see a doc then if it continues.  It's just painful when I open the leg (right hand one) and uncomfortable sometimes.

I did get up and go for my walk this morning   I've got a bit of a headache but think that was from sleeping on a new pillow.

It's cloudy today, but that might mean I'm a bit more productive as when it's sunny I tend to just sit in the sun and not do a lot!

We've got Robins nesting in our shed, and I've spent hours recently watching them flying in and out with food for the babies.  This morning one has fledged and so we finally managed to see it.  I feel like a proud granny 😍

The robin watching sounds very therapeutic. I've enjoyed playing spot the bird / wildlife at home too although our cat and dog take turns chasing stuff away!

It has been lovely.  They don't seem to mind us or the dog, but as soon as the cat ventured into the garden yesterday they went crazy!  Luckily she doesn't go out there much as she prefers the front.

Glad you're feeling better today 🙂. It's lovely when birds nest in your garden 🦅.

As the robins have moved out of the shed, (they've gone into the hedge behind our house) I ventured out into the garden yesterday.  I'm turning a large wasted space bed into an extended patio area so the kids have a bit more space.  We've got a load of stone cladding that we removed from inside the house and has been stacked in the garden for years (!) so I am using that to form the basis of the patio.  I did the digging yesterday and just need to level off and place the stone down now.  It will do until we can get the garden done properly.  As with the house, it needs completely re-doing so I don't want to spend money now.  I kept having extended breaks as every time I stopped the robins were diving in to find worms and bugs



I'm not feeling very enthusiastic today so not sure how much I'll get done.  I might have a chilled day today and get back to it tomorrow.

Hope everyone is well.
