Caroline- sorry to hear you sounding so dejected, I think many of us have been affected by the change in the weather, we feel so much more restricted spending more time indoors. It's very difficult to look to the future with any enthusiasm when we can't see an end to this. Good that your sewing helps take your mind off things and what a fantastic help that will have been to the wearers.
Ruskie, good to hear you have no cases there but are still being cautious, well done on going to the Chinese supermarket. Good news that the dog is safe and well with its owner, you obviously care a lot about dogs.
My day (very uninspiring):
Another grey and windy day although not gale force today. Couldn't be bothered doing much this morning. Have had some problems with getting any power into the laptop, managed to resolve that and set off a backup of family tree and all documents to external hard drive. The documents took literally hours.
Went for a windswept walk, the field was surprisingly dry. Was sad to see a lot of wind damage in the woods, one tree with a large branch hanging to the ground, others broken off or torn. I suppose that's just nature and others will grow to replace them.
Had lunch, read for a while then did some ironing. Some art materials that I ordered arrived, very fast delivery, I'll use that company again. Made some changes to my next Tesco order, apparently some people are panic buying again around here. Unfortunately the press decide to publish that, which just encourages more people to do so. This whole area has been named as an area of enhanced support due to the increase in positive cases, it would seem that people think we're heading for a local lockdown.
Today seemed to just slip away, didn't really do a lot.
