Good to hear how you're getting on RTL, I hope the lockdown turns out better for you than the last time. Presumably they'll keep the public toilets open this time, I certainly hope so.
Carol, well done on putting together the family tree, I'm sure he'll be very pleased.
Viktoria, whatever happens Christmas I'm sure you'll make the best of it as you do with everything.
My day:
Cloudy here too this morning but sunshine later on. A friend phoned, we'd been talking for a while when my doorbell rang, I assumed it would be a parcel delivery for me or to take in for my neighbours. Got a surprise when I opened the door, it was my friend L, she had been to the opticians in town and just called to say hello. Obviously she couldn't come inside and she couldn't stay long so we just had a few minutes chat where we were. I knew there was a reason for me doing the lawn edging! It was really chilly out at that point. Called my other friend back to continue our chat then had some lunch. My parcel from Matalan arrived, will wait a day or two before trying on the garments, I know they'll fit me anyway,
Out for a walk about 2pm, couldn't believe how much it had warmed up. Only a short walk as I'd arranged to meet my friend J later for a longer one.
The town I live in had been randomly chosen as one of three in England where mass testing would be done, it was to take place from November 23rd. It was hoped it would identify asymptomatic cases so that people could self isolate and reduce infection rates. Read in the news that apparently it's been cancelled as the government has decided to focus its attention on Liverpool. No idea what's happening to the two other towns that were selected,
Did some work to the painting for art class tomorrow then out in the garden to cut back some plants. The sedums are still colourful but the rest of the perennials are about done, although the winter bedding in the pots looks great.
Another caller at the front door later, it was my neighbour from across the road who is a postie, she was delivering a parcel from Boots. So many callers today!
Out at 5.30 to meet J, had forgotten it was bonfire night there were fireworks banging and whooshing all around as we walked, my ears were ringing with it all. As we walked along the main road from town we were musing about where all the cars were going, there was quite a lot of traffic. On the way back a rocket landed in the middle of the road only a few feet away, that was a narrow squeak.
Chicken and pasta when I got home, finished off the strong wine, it was rather a large glass...
