Watching a pair of collared doves building a nest in my wild cherry tree that I can see from my kitchen window. Lovely.

Sunday lunch, main and a pudding, produced by one of our local restaurants and which arrived in the form of a chilled product, in foil trays, complete with storage and re-heating instructions. Plenty of it too.
It was excellent especially washed down with a nice bottle of merlot.
It was our son's birthday on Sunday so we thought we'd have lunch out, as it were. He wasn't too impressed though, but who cares?. We enjoyed it.

I feel as high as a kite  ;D

I’ve just got back from my pre booked, time slot visit to the tip.

First time I’ve driven the car since mid March and so crammed full of all my lockdown labours.

It was so exciting, I felt like I’d been released from captivity  ;D

How sad am I!

No - You are def not sad ;D

Just phoned our small local shoe shop who are hoping to open soon .    The wonderful owner sorted through their stock, found the replacement shoes we needed then I popped into town and picked up the shoes at their door.   ;D
