What a shame about your craft fayre Caroline, yet another of those things that people look forward to that won't be taking place. A spring fayre would be nice, centred around things like daffodils and new born lambs.
I was shocked about the lockdown protesters too, don't they ever think about how people must feel who have loved ones in hospital or even worse, have died. It would seem not.
My day:
Was feeling better as the day wore on today, got my appetite back. Usual walk late morning, fine and a bit breezy. As I was walking through the woods a large flock of Canada geese flew over, honking loudly. A young man who had just passed me stopped to look up, exclaiming Wow! A couple of smaller flocks flew over a bit later.
Enjoyed the walk more than yesterday.
Had some lunch then went online, I was so pleased with the pull on hoodie that I'd bought from Matalan that I decided to order another in a different colour. Also ordered a couple of cushions that took my fancy, only found out when it came to checkout that they will be delivered separately so don't count towards the free delivery. However, I found a discount code online that covered the delivery charge and gave me a pound off the goods.
Yesterday I got another offer of six weeks free access to digital magazines, lots of reading to keep me going as well as all the books I've downloaded. Two bargains in two days.
Yesterday I'd taken delivery of a large pallette for my pan pastels, it's essentially just a plastic tray with recesses to put the individual pans in, it has a lid. I ordered it some time ago, it came from America, the ones available in the UK were the smaller ones. This takes twenty pans, it was quite expensive for what it is but it will be much easier to use the pastels. I slotted them in and made sure I stored it safely, don't want to damage it.
Got round to doing all the ironing, even the tea towels.
Watched A Place in the Sun while I was doing it.
Two of the neighbours opposite were out putting up Christmas decorations.
Fish for tea, wanted something simple. Watched an episode of Digging up Britain, they were digging along the perimeter of Auckland castle. I found it entertaining watching them demonstrate how a trebuchet was used, I can just imagine.
