What an exhausting day for you RTL, I hope you don't miss your stop tomorrow.
It must be really awkward for people if they have forgotten to buy a mask or take one with them. We ladies might have a scarf in our bag that we can use but that's not very likely for a man. You'd think there would be somewhere in the bus station to buy them. If people are asked to remove their mask in a bank they'd no doubt put the same one back on, which makes rather a farce of it. There are so many contradictions in the whole face mask thing, no wonder people get confused. It'll be interesting to see what happens tomorrow.
Mowsehowse, I'm surprised to hear you had rain, I thought from the forecast that it was going to be another nice day, just cloudier. Hope you manage to sort your phone out.
Diary:
Woke quite early and once again fell asleep again after having strange dreams. A wet day as forecast.
I'd ordered a necklace as a birthday present for my shopping friend, it's not for a while yet but wanted to be prepared. An email told me that the package was with the courier and would arrive between twelve and four pm. I thought they'd probably be able to put it through the letterbox but some retailers use a lot of packaging. Decided to wait till after lunch and better weather for my walk.
Put spag bol ingredients in the slow cooker, sorted some stuff out in the cupboards. Had to hang the washing on the clothes horse to dry, no chance of hanging it on the line today. Had lunch, was still raining. Read for a while. The parcel arrived about 2.30, he put it through the letterbox. I think my friend will like the necklace, it's frustrating having to pay a delivery charge but the necklace was in the sale so that wasn't so bad. Put it away and washed my hands.
Transferred the tins I'd quarantined in the garage into the food cupboard then gave the hob a good clean, the burner caps get so dirty. It was raining lightly so decided to do some Pilates, I haven't done any for a while, I keep forgetting. The YouTube video was a short half hour workout but when I'd fast forwarded through all her twittering on it was only about 20 minutes. Probably just as well seeing as I'm unused to it now. Got an email to say that although gyms are reopening mine isn't yet.
Was nearly finished Pilates when the postman rang the doorbell, another parcel from Boots. When I'd gone into the website to order some cream I saw that the gift with purchase offer with No 7 cosmetics was on. I time my mascara purchases for when those promotions are on so I ordered two to get the gift and added another small item that would take me to the free delivery threshold. Then the next day I ordered the cream and a couple more cosmetic products, another free gift and free delivery. There was also a price discount on some items. Bargain!
By 3pm it was still raining slightly and the forecast said 90% chance of heavy rain but by now I was getting cabin fever so went out. Couldn't feel the rain as I walked through the woods. A man was walking towards me with a dog walking alongside. I wasn't sure where the dog was going to go and as I approached she just stood there as if confronting me, then she approached me and stuck her nose under the hem of my jacket. I had to stroke her then, couldn't resist any longer, she was lovely, stroked under her chin and around her ears, places she was unlikely to catch any coughs or sneezes. Asked the man if she was a lurcher, he said she was, he'd got her from a rescue centre and at first she kept running off but not now. She was leaning against my legs, the only warm body I've touched since March!
Back onto the field, the rain was heavier so I set off back with my hood up, don't like that, no peripheral vision. When I got back my jeans and trainers were wet and my socks were soaking but I wasn't bothered, it was good just to get out. Washed my hands as usual.
Had some of the spag bol for tea. For some reason I always fancy a glass of wine with pasta but I'd deliberately left it in the quarantine box in the garage so I couldn't be tempted. Watched Back In Time for Tea, later watched Escape to Greece, increasing my yearning to go there. Not that I'd want to live on a yacht or alone halfway up a mountain but a nice hotel would do! Finished my paperback the night before last, forgot to get the new one out of the garage last night but read it in the bath tonight. Weather forecast is much better tomorrow, hope it's right.
Hope everyone has had a good day and perhaps some sunshine.
