    Bless him holding on to do his business, don’t they do some daft things 😆 My dog isn’t fussy she’ll poop anywhere.

    He is daft like that. He also won't poo on a hard surface. It has to be grass or at a push some gravel!

    It will be a no spends day today.

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be from stores. Breakfast was crumpets, the other half has taken his packed lunch to work, I am having a tuna salad for my lunch and dinner tonight is a BBQ in the garden.

    Todays jobs include:
    • working from home
    • load of washing to hang on the line to dry
    • cleaning the kitchen
    • preparing the food for the BBQ
    • walking the dog
    The other half had a bit of a nightmare day at work yesterday with staff self isolating, parts not being delivered due to staff self isolating, family self isolating etc. Then this morning we got a message from next door to say that their daughter Lily had a positive lateral flow test this morning so she is off for a PCR test today. Covid is surrounding the other half this week. I will be amazed if we manage to get through the week without being pinged by track and trace. Might be spending the weekend in the drive in the van at this rate :)

    That's awful @RelievedSheff.  Do hope you manage not to get pinged.  The case numbers are going up so quickly - I dread to think how bad it's going to be in a couple of weeks time now that people can choose what to do - there were quite a few idiots about when the law was to wear face coverings indoors and on public transport so things are only likely to et worse.

    Hope you can get away next weekend.  We're planning on being away next weekend then we'll have a the following one at home.  After that we're away for a week - at some fishing lakes for a few days so DH can do some fishing followed by a weekend meeting up with friends.

    It's only going to get worse in the short to medium term.

    It’s a nightmare at the moment. It seems to be rife everywhere. Fingers crossed you’ll be ok.

    No we put the tent away on Sunday. Didn't want to ruin the grass with it.

    We have found a way to make our bedroom just about comfortable. If we leave all of the upstairs windows and doors open and the extractor fans on in the bathroom and ensuite and two strategically placed desk fans in the bedroom running all night then we can get some sleep.

    Covid has gone mad. Sure there is more around now than there was during the first wave!!
