Son came with some shopping ,fresh stuff, but stayed outside, no hugs etc .
The predicted rainstorm did not come and I had not watered the container plants,however we have had torrential rain since so nothing will be thirsty.
I admire all you busy bees, I am a bit of a drone really. Manana—- I almost don’t want the modified lockdown to end.!
Number two son is having difficulty with neighbours, very noisy children who
make excessive noise from dawn to dusk.
Son has a bank of five computers ,as he is working from home , with international connections etc .
The warmth in the small room he has as his temporary office is sweltering and yet he has to keep the windows closed because of the noise.
Many other neighbours have complained re the unruly children but the parents seem to delight in making no effort to exercise some control.
They are one of the semis,my son the other half so noise inside as well as outside.
Things have got very nasty even though my son and d in law have been very restrained ,as if the neighbour’s will not be satisfied until there is open confrontation.
Nothing I can do but such extra stress is awful at this difficult time ,you wonder the parents don’t want some peace and quiet themselves.
Wel haven,t we up North had sone rain!
Phew! Flowers battered and little apples on the grass.
Now a question—- did anyone watch Bethany Hughes on Friday, her Greek Odyssey series - did she get to Ithaca this week ,?that was when my son phoned .
I had the sound off and it looked so interesting .
Have tried to find it but no luck.No good with technology!
Having Smoked salmon in a cream and spinach sauce with tagliatelle , for tea.
Not hungry this morning ,so no idea what lunch will be as not had breakfast yet,brunch again then!
All washing except what I am wearing done .
Ironing likewise.
Going to alter a little jacket zi like very much except it dips at the back, meant to but I don’t like that so have measure and marked ,not cut yet though,to eventually stitch.
Must suss out sewing machine repairers ,but then think why don’t I buy another ,this one might be irreparable if the big clot of cotton has bent or off set anything ,the repair could cost half as much as a new one ,or more .
It’s on zig zag stitch so very choked up.
I deserve it, I has a lonely birthday ,and my husband were he here would be saying ,get a new one , I know he would.
( I could not look in a shop window just to admire ,he always urged me to get what I admired, never understood I could look without seriously wanting )
So I will look online and treat myself .
Hope you are all well ,and in good spirits,RootsChat is a lifeline isn’t it.
I despair of all the selfish thoughtless people who are not playing fair , they
seem to have no forward thinking mechanism, don’t realise the NHS and it’s wonderful staff are all on their knees yet the selfish idiots take such risks with their own and more importantly the lives of others .
Just going to have a cuppa and do my Tesco delivery list ,hope for a slot.
Tidy my bedroom ,lounge OK as I do that before bed in case I die in the night ,kitchen ditto but by the time I have made a cup of tea will look as if vandals have been in!
Then what, Classic FM ,TV rubbish all day but I ought not to sit too much, keep,moving .
Will phone the daughter of the people with whom I lived as an evacuee ,she is 92 , and not well . I really want to see her ,we went so often when OH was here ,could do it in the day ,just had to be home before dusk as he had cataracts forming and night vision was not good .
A two hour drive at most .
Well this is not getting on , Flash Harry ( my new nickname for Great Grandson) might phone today , wonder how his zoo is going on.
Gosh he will miss being with his daddy ,my grandson , when he goes to school in September all being well .
So cheerio everyone , look after yourselves and keep smiling ,you get wrinkles whether you smile or frown ,and smile lines are nicer .
Viktoria.
PS, my wrinkles are getting wrinkles of their own!
