turpsI've just had an hour in the sunshine in the garden, and feel good for getting my hands dirty. The greenhouse has been cleaned and de-mossed ready for the seeds to be transferred there. I've done some weeding, brushed and de-mossed the path, got rid of some rubbish and things are looking better out there.
Earlier we had a drive along the seafront and stopped at Lidl, and managed to get some apples and buns, and again, it was good to be out in the sunshine.
On Monday we had a lovely walk at Durham. It was sunny and we did a small circuit of the inner areas and had a coffee at a tiny shop tucked away in a corner. Which I'm glad about as, of course, everything started to change that afternoon.
Selfishly, I wish James was still off and could hunker up at home, but that is selfish as they're desperate for trained staff. Plus, they're being very careful with hygiene etc at his actual work. Plus, on a lighter note with all the companies offering free drinks to NHS workers atm he's not about to go thirsty while out and about any time soon.
I'm more worried for Corey tbh as he works in a nightclub meaning right now he's still dealing with the many many people who are still going out on the nights and then if they're forced to close there's a good chance he won't have a job. He does have a supervisor role and helps with deliveries etc. so hopefully he'll have something to do. But it's all up in the air. What I do know is I won't see him on Sunday for Mother's Day, which is a small thing I know, but still. I'd need to get the bus there as James will be at work and a lot of places would be shut so it makes sense not to travel, but logic doesn't completely wipe out the emotional reaction.
I very much think we'll end up locked down more at some point as many people aren't socially isolating at all. The fast-food restaurants have gone to take away only, the cinemas are shut, but still, people are congregating and pubs remain packed. Thankfully I stocked up on food, cat food and cat litter so will be fine in terms of that and obviously I'm used to getting a lot of entertainment online, but still, it's a worry.
I never thought I'd be so eager to hear what Boris Johnson has to say, but the daily updates from him have already become an important part of the day.
We've been catching up on some TV and have just started the newest season of Chicago Med, sadly it has a storyline I really don't like and I'm missing a character that's left and just, it's all a bit meh.
I didn't sign for the h/c exchange, the deadline crept up on me and instead of panic joining, I decided to work on and finish the two stories I have on the go. So you know, expect talk about them and no doubt me still not adding any words months from now.
And in much better news, our new kitty comes home tomorrow as his eye is finally better. So, expect much cat picspam from me in the immediate future.
