  • Morning all
    Another rainy windy day. I've got some chores around the house to do. Finish making pyjamas for DD. So l am occupied and not spending. Have a good day.
  • Morning folks!

    Well I can certainly recommend the brisket recipe I used. OH said it was the best meal he'd eaten all year, and was I going to be making it every weekend? :grin:
    The weather was bright and sunny but so windy that we opted for a drive rather than a walk. Most of the nice places here are either coastal (blowing a gale) or woodland (up to our knees in mud). Staying dry for this morning so I'm going to nip into the garden and try and tidy up some of the leaves quickly. 

    No real plans for today. Will just try to get ahead for the week a bit. Not sure how I feel about the lockdown... I agree totally necessary (probably moreso over a month ago when it was advised!). I'm kind of ok with it now. We haven't really been going out or anything anyway. But the gym is shut again which is a pain. I really hope that I can keep some momentum with the home workouts. We're waiting to hear whether OH's work will be open or shut, It's music tuition, so although an edicational setting, it's not like curriculum tuition. Also puts pay to the one gig that OH had in November. 

    I'm not sure if I will be WFH... I think that our place will continue as we are. I'm WFH half the time and we have strict regs on open windows and number of people in the office and what desks are used etc. 

    I hope everyone is ok
