NST May 2020: May the force be with you. (Star Wars 1977)

Today I am grateful for time with dd, for hearing the neighbours over 2 fences as they discussed what has happened and what they think should happen (yikes!), for neighbourhood kiddies having fun, for sitting in the sun, for chatting with a neighbour (turns out she is gf and her kids are df) and she likes baking and will drop some off for us next time - yummy!

Spent time in my polytunnel, put my mini greenhouse together, moved a few things over. Remembered I had left tandoori lumps marinading in the fridge so put them in the oven and chopped a lot of salad to go with them (carrot, cucumber, celery, lettuce, tomato, red pepper, red onion and mushrooms) and had them on wraps (some of everything left may need to add a scrap of cheese to make another meal for two.
Today I am grateful for my polytunnel and greenhouse, staging made from an old table, two kitchen chairs and wire, Peaky Blinders and thinking outside the box (buying cheapo cat litter trays as seed trays had virtually disappeared 6 weeks ago).

Grateful for an incredibly unproductive day where we drove a bit and went on a long peaceful family walk along a different part of the rivere, where we had not been before, an awkwardly late dinner as ds decided he had to bike to his friends house and give him a beer for his 18th in the middle of cooking dinner, watching the last two episodes of Normal People and what a series, and then sort of took turn casting photos on to the tv and had a bit of a reminiscence of past lives, quite a nice bonding and grounding day for all of us, in particular uni-son is struggling with his mood, so now I think we are ready for another few weeks under lockdown. 
Hope everybody is enjoying the long weekend, and have a chance to do something a little bt different than usual.

Morning all
Scone baking went well here.  We had an afternoon tea in the  garden and DD1 passed a goody bag across the fence to our neighbour - her idea We made him a ham roll, plus added crisps, cake, beer and chocolate.  He was chuffed.  He always mows our front lawn and trimmed our adjoining front hedges too so they look great now.  We had a chat over the fence.  People on adjoining roads were having street parties but our stretch of road didn't - we can't see many neighbours out front, but we did have a bit of neighbour envy! 
ditty1234 we loved Normal People!  DD2 and i have read the book and it was very true to the story and the lead characters were amazing.
Hope everyone is well

Oh dear!  I woke up bored with today already.  Will watch some property-p0rn and see if that shakes me out of it.

Read half a book last night, well, up until 2am, I was bored with the idea of sleep. 

As I tell my kids, you are not bored, you are the present continuous. So I will be off!     Planned NSD 8. 

We (me and himself) made a pact this morning to try and put the shopping off for another day.

Love those quotes apple_ muncher.  I don't even watch Dr Who,well not since the first episode.
Haven't done much since I last posted. Had T*sco delivery yesterday and I reckon I needn't go shopping until the middle of next week. Luckily I never did like shopping except maybe for craft stuff. 
No street parties here. Who knows maybe when the situation changes we might all have a party.

Good evening!

No check in yesterday as was at my folks and forgot my battery charger!!! Back now and able to use my PC. Had a nice few days so far, and looking for a relaxing evening and Sunday. Need to get back on the weight loss wagon and start building in some activity again...

Which Doctor were those quotes from Apple? Have you watched the last Season? I just can't get into it with a female Doctor... and it's been absolutely slated and had the worst viewing figures since the reboot. I'm a die hard fan but even I stopped watching it. 

Today (and yesterday!) I am grateful for:

1) My lovely Mum and Dad, and the giggles we have
2) For the time I have been given with them, that I might not have had I not moved back
3) For re-discovering myself slowly but surely

Have a nice evening folks. Hugs x

Abundant - fraid I have no idea which dr the quotes are from. T'interweb found them for me...!

Today I am grateful for a quiet day, for a good night's sleep, for getting a morning workout done, for dd doing an acro online class and loving it, for dd meeting up with a friend out the back and spending a happy couple of hours chatting, chilling and climbing trees.
