Wondered what I am going to do until about 4pm when the Drive will be in shade so I can give the car a really good clean.

Never buying black again....:rolleyes:

Unusual for me, I've got the day planned out as I'm not working today.

later this morning I'm heading off to the arbour for a Latte & biscuit, For lunch I'm going to the patio for a cream tea with fruit scones & proper Cornish clotted cream.

This evening I'm off to the lounge for a film and a Malaysian coconut chicken curry and a bottle of wine form my fast depleting wine cellar (basically a wine rack under the breakfast bar in the kitchen).

Only 1 hour and 33 minutes until I can justify eating again.

I don't remember my stomach rumbling as much pre lock down.

Just heard an aeroplane up in the sky. Such an unusual sound these days we ran to the door to see if we could see it. It was a distant Chinook flying in a southerly direction the noise was slightly muffled by the distance, not the usual sound of thunder.
Just finished a book this morning (One Man and His Bike) about a guys 4500 mile tour around the British coastline on a push bike. At the end of the book I found he has also written another book about a 20,000 mile tour around Europe, so have duly ordered that.
We are off out for a walk to get some shopping, hopefully get some hot cross buns and cheese whilst out seeing it has now reached that time of year.

Assisted ( by watching ! ) Darrell break open the main water feed to the block of houses, cut lumps out of it, and reconnect.
The 1.5" pipe running under both his and my conservatory was iron and had started corroding.. His house and mine now have plastic water mains pipes

Might go to the van and complete the wiring upgrade, but one thing I have noticed.. This lock down is making me VERY lazy

Marvelled at my mother in law....mrs B spoke to her this morning to check up and asked if the shopping we delivered yesterday was ok.

Since the Covid19 crisis began she has consistently had bleach on her shopping list but, unsurprisingly, until yesterday that aspect was unfulfilled.

"Oh yes it was fine, I'm glad you got the bleach though as I was down to four bottles".

She also asked that we go out and get her some postage stamps today.

Not a clue.

Maybe it's not a bad place to be at the moment.

I agree with the lazy' thing. It hit me about a week ago, so easy just to flop out.

While I am not exactly running round like a lunatic I have found a bit of discipline helps - dressed ,washed and showered by 8. Make sure that one 'job around the house' that has been in need of doing gets done a day (worryingly my list is down to two jobs now!)' eat proper home made meals at set times (more or less) and, the hardest of the lot...no nibbling between meals!

Also chucking the weights around for twenty minutes a day makes me feel like I am doing something worthy.

Still bored though.
