Caroline, sorry to hear your day wasn't great. Please stop watching the news, it's no good fuelling your anxiety. When the government broadcasts are on I just read it on the news app, for the same reason. All these goings on will still happen whether we watch or listen to it or not. I find it better getting the news second hand when people comment on it! Hope you get some sunshine tomorrow to lift your spirits.
My day:
Was awake till 5am, probably my own fault for not expending enough energy during the day. Considering how little sleep I had I didn't feel too bad....... apart from the fact that I woke myself up coughing. It went on for a little while but once I'd cleared it from my chest I was fine. Had thought of talking my temperature but I didn't need to, I knew I wasn't feverish.
A wet morning, washed my hair and did that sort of stuff. Tidied the spare bedroom where I'd quarantined a few things, got rid of the packaging. Sorted some things out in the freezer.
The weather cleared after lunch and the sun came out so I went for a walk, it's getting muddier. Walking through the woods I bumped into a friend of a friend, we used to mix in the same circles a lot but I haven't seen her for a long time. She's working from home but needed a break so took the dog out, we were talking for ages, I'd forgotten she had to get back to work. Was good to catch up.
When I got home I thought I'd have another look at the place where I want to put my security light. It wasn't windy or too cold so I got on the steps but although I could reach I wasn't in the right place to put a screw in. Not entirely sure whether it would hold okay, it's quite heavy with the batteries in. Oh well.
Sorted out the paints I'll need for Friday's art class, we're doing acrylic pour. I did the mixing because there's no way I'll want to start that before the class. Put cling film over the pots which will keep the paints okay.
Fish for tea then watched TV, was extremely disappointed with the results of Portrait Artist, the one I thought was quite stunning got nowhere. One of the ones that the judges were gushing over seemed to me to be like a very bad copy of a Banksy, I wouldn't have given it house room.
