So, yesterday, I cancelled a proposed walk because I thought it was going to be foggy and chilly. Opted for the walk today instead, when it was supposed to be dry. Ha! No fog yesterday, but a fair bit of it today. And rain. Although it wasn’t that chilly.
I was delighted to be taking a walk with Jaime. And, wow! we thoroughly enjoyed it. Non-stop walking and non-stop talking. It was bliss and just what I needed. Jaime is great company and we kept up with each other’s pace wonderfully well. I came home glowing with the fresh air and fabulous company and felt wonderfully refreshed. We were well able to keep our distance throughout the walk and didn’t meet many people on the way. Well, why would you? It was a miserable-looking day. Who’d be out and about on a day like this? Just mad ‘uns like us!!
In between walking, I did more decorating – on the homeward stretch now and it’s beginning to look as nice as I expected it to. Just a bit of wallpapering tomorrow as the final touch. Wish me luck – it’s a while since I did wallpapering. Although it’s got to be like riding a bike, hasn’t it? Never forget the skill once you’ve learned it. Fingers crossed anyway.
John was up reasonably early this morning and planning his TV viewing. It’s exciting stuff. There’s the rugby matches to enjoy and then the Grand Prix qualifying. It’s a great time of year for these sports and I am so glad they are able to go ahead. It really does buck John up in the winter months. Just three weeks to go before the Winter Solstice, mind you, when the nights will start to get lighter, so that’ll buck him up too.
We had another trundle out this afternoon to the University Hospital for a follow-up on the boob inspection, but nothing to see here, so all good. John missed watching the England match live as a result of coming with me, but settled down with a nice cup of coffee once we got home, to really enjoy his rugby. But, to be honest, he wasn’t that thrilled with the performances. It was a bit of a kicking game, which always irritates him, and I think the match was a bit lacklustre. Must’ve been fairly lacklustre cos I fell asleep during it.
After we’d eaten our meal this evening, we charged our glasses with wine/prosecco and plonked ourselves in front of the TV. Not to watch TV per se, but to enjoy ‘an audience with’ Pete and Dawn on Skype. Had a cracking evening laughing together, commiserating with each other and marvelling at the antics of our wonderful children. Oh, such heaven to have such wonderful friends.
Not much else to report today except the daily figures:
- 15,871 people were confirmed as infected with the virus
- 479 people died within 28 days of a positive test
- 204 people died in hospitals in the last couple of days
- Today is Day 24 of Lockdown 2, and
- We are on Day 255 since the beginning of our self-isolation since Lockdown 1
Take care everyone. God bless.
We thoroughly enjoyed the evening with you xx
