What strange times we are experiencing! Here in the UK we have gone into lockdown now and can only go out to buy food or medicines, or once a day for exercise, and all non-essential shops must close. Those in key industries can still go to work, otherwise its working from home or no work at all. It is a relief really, as there are people who are not being sensible about the social distancing rules, and this is almost certainly the last big announcement to come from the government about lockdown. Every announcement prior to this has led to huge dash to do another big food shop, stripping the shelves bare in all our supermarkets. Surely the stockpilers don't have any more room for their stashes of toilet roll, tins and dried food!
Anyway, we are absolutely fine here. We have a lovely home and garden, and there's lots to do here! I have a huge long list of craft projects that are started or ready to start. Last week at my sewing class, I bought several lengths of fabric for projects, and I have a huge stash of quilting fabric for scrap quilts. Somehow I can't manage to get started on a new project just yet, but I think that is because I am adjusting to a new normal. I find myself feeling quite anxious and overwhelmed at times, and then I check the news again! Time to keep the news sites closed, and just read blogs. Maybe blogs will come back in fashion? I hope so!
Maurice can work from home as can both kids, and their jobs are secure for now. So no work or money worries, thank goodness. Maurice has this week off to use up the last of his annual leave, and we had planned some lovely countryside walks with Barney. Barney has to get used to the fact we can only take him for 1 walk per day instead of his usual 2. He knows something isn't quite right, but he does enjoy being in the garden with us. So far, the weather is lovely and we are catching up on some gardening, weeding and tidying.
Take care friends, and stay well and safe XXX
Strange times indeed! All non-essential shops, as well as restaurants and pubs, have been closed here for well over a week. We can still leave the house, in moderation. I'm still going to the office as I can't fully work from home, but Jos is bringing me in the car and picking me up again, so luckily I don't have to rely on public transport. We are staying home as much as we can. I just wish everybody was a bit more sensible! Do keep safe and sane, Linda! xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, The weather is certainly helping isn't it. I could stay in for a year and still not finish everything I would want to do. I have been in school for 2 days this week with 6 children which has been weird. x
