Hi all - hope everything continues to remain well for you all
Today's diary:
Slightly earlier start today as I had to get to the bank before noon but didn't want to miss my routine park walk.
A slightly different mob in the park today mainly Mums' and children and a couple of dog walkers. I am now on nodding terms with two older couples and a older lady who has a very strenuous looking exercise routine. Noticed two Mum's obviously taking the government up with their new directive that you can meet with one other person outside your own house hold if you social distance in the open. This seemed great then I noticed each had a tot with them (say about 3 years old ish) they were off playing together. I had to smile. Someone else was trying to access the tennis courts but they were still firmly locked. Noticed that one of the many neighbouring gates that access the park directly had been painted blue! I had to do a double take! There are a number of houses that back onto the park and most have installed their own gates. All are either just natural colour or painted brown. I can't believe I missed the blue gate and am sure that was done in the last 24 hours! If not I must be going 'do-maley'.
I had a companion on my walk today! One of my lot. It was good that I was able to get her up and out of bed, but she's not really a great walking companion. Conversation nil and my attempts to try and have an interesting conversation fell on deaf ears.
Once back in I had to get changed, makeup on (!) and quickly into town to get to the bank before 12. It's a real problem as the local car parks aren't open so I do have to walk. Long queue but managed to get my banking done. Then over to M&S to get some top up shopping in. Quite exhausted by the time I got back. A marked increase in traffic for sure, but didn't think M&S or the town was particularly busy at all. Did bring my 'mask' but reluctant to wear it, however no-one else seemed to have one on either, only the odd one or two.
Had lunch and sorted the shopping out. I didn't bother with any clean down and got it all sorted and put away.
Have been trying to get some family history research written up, did some scanning and doubled checked some notes.
Moved the hoover around.
Mr CD has been busy ordering goodness only knows what as two very large boxes were delivered late this afternoon. I left them in the porch as they are far, far to heavy to move.
A salmon stir fry tonight and later some telly.
Stay safe!
