It was two o' clock when I put the light out last night (or this morning to be precise). I was woken this morning by a friend phoning me to tell me that she wouldn't be joining in the art class Zoom meeting. I hadn't been completely asleep, just starting to wake up but hadn't realised till I looked at the clock just how late it was. Oh well, never mind. Rallied myself round and got ready in time to join in the meeting. The teacher said that they were expecting some building supplies being delivered and as she was alone in the house she'd have to leave the meeting if the delivery arrived. She'd been waiting since 7am and of course it arrived during the meeting, although it was towards the end and the rest of us carried on chatting till the end.
Had some lunch before going for my walk, it had been raining earlier on and there was a heavy shower during the Zoom meeting. It had cleared out nicely and was quite warm but I wasn't sure if it would start again so hung a lightweight jacket through my belt. The birds were swooping around me as I crossed the field, I love to see them. Walked through the woods and set off down the narrow path again but it was quite muddy and the ground undulates a lot, thought that if I slipped along there and went hurtling through the trees it could be a problem! With that thought I turned back and walked around the usual area.
No rain, it was getting sunny and although I knew the wet would stop me doing some things in the garden there were other things I could have a go at out there. Took some cuttings from a couple of plants that are in a container in the front garden and just did some general tidying up. The sun was getting hotter so I changed into something lighter. Later on it clouded up and there were a few spots of rain so I packed up and came indoors.
Salmon for tea with a jacket potato and salad with lettuce from the garden. Also included some avocado, not from the garden! Strawberries to follow.
Apparently a lot of people have put on weight during the lockdown, I think I've actually lost some, my jeans all seem a bit loose. I think I'm probably in a minority in more ways than one, I don't want to lose any weight. Perhaps it's due to all the extra walking, in normal times I exercise about three times a week whereas now it's every day.
My shopping friend had texted me yesterday to see if I needed anything, I didn't as I'd just had a grocery delivery. She phoned tonight for a chat, we talked about her moving house, she sold her house for the asking price the first day she put it on the market, first time buyers. She put in an offer for another property the next day, no chain, everything is going ahead. Amazing that things can happen so fast during these strange times. It was lovely to have a chat, cheered me up.
Hope things have been okay today for everyone, some nice weather forecast for the weekend,
