Starting off today's log while it's still today!
Very tired when I put the light out last night, slept really heavily apart from waking up at about 3am coughing, pretty sure it's caused by cutting off dead stuff in the garden (ivy if I dare mention it!). Soon back to sleep. Woke up wondering if it was Sunday or Monday, couldn't decide then thought why does it matter. Didn't actually do a lot today.
Got a text from my friend who shops for me to say that she'd be going today. Ended up phoning her as she was worried about something else going on. Went off for my walk, quite windy again and cloudy, all the lovely weather that was forecast seems to be in the south. Had a sandwich for lunch, did some Rootschatting and my friend arrived with my shopping. By that time my vandalising neighbour was out cutting her front lawn, I'd seen her from the upstairs window. My friend stood further down the drive while we had a short chat, I told her that ears would be flapping. My friend told me about how some people flout the social distancing regulations in the supermarkets, I commented that some people need to go back to school and learn what two metres means. I had the neighbour in mind as she regularly stands too close to other neighbours. My friend was laughing as she knew exactly what I was getting at!
Wiped down the shopping and put it away. Phoned my friend who had a major operation, we had a long chat and thankfully she's progressing very well.
Went out to the garage and noticed that the ivy that had escaped alive was hanging away from the fence, not tucked behind the trellis where it had been. It's been windy but not exactly gale force, too much of a coincidence, hope it hasn't been poisoned. Fastened it back on with cable ties and cut a few more bits of the dead stuff away.
Scampi for tea, not the most economical fish dish but I do like it. Used the peas that I'd forgotten about the other day, Jersey potatoes, tomatoes and peppers.
I read two books at once, one on my tablet on the Kindle app and a paperback in the bath, I finished both last night. I usually buy my paperbacks from charity shops or withdrawn ones from the library, they're really cheap. I also occasionally buy used ones via Amazon, I've ordered a couple but they haven't arrived yet. Will have to read one of my art magazines in the bath instead. Or have a shower!
Caroline, I forgot to say in the other thread that I can see how being in the company of your OH all the time must be testing for any relationship, especially if you're used to some independence. Fifty years is quite an achievement, I hope his resumption of golf games is giving you both a bit of breathing space. Just don't let him thrash you at scrabble any more!
