As one day merges into another. I’m doing the same as yesterday….. Need to mix it up, I’ll give that some thought 😉 🦋

A cold and damp day today. And we got 30 seconds of snow!! One minute it’s here, the next it’s gone!! Crazy weather. The beginning of another week in isolation. Getting into some type of routine. Reading, keeping in touch with family and friends, and finding new things on the tv. Description….. In this reimaginingContinue reading “Monday’s Post”

My day was to visit my daughter at the grave today, reading, catching up with family and friends over the phone (in one way or another) and maybe a little housework) The weather really wasn’t nice enough to walk to the cemetery today. If the weather is better, I’ll go tomorrow. As another Sunday onContinue reading “Sunday’s Post”

The first official “lockdown” weekend. Watched people on FB plan indoor picnics, plan music sessions and plan virtual days to the zoo. It was nice to see some people are taking it seriously, but as the sun was shining, people were beginning to creep out!! Hoping it rains on Sunday, need to keep the idiotsContinue reading “Saturday’s Post”

With the sun out, I managed to dry the last of my curtains. It’s been a job I’ve wanted to do for ages. And as I’ve got plenty of time on my hands, and the weather playing nice for a change, I made the most of it. I gad a very lazy day today, IContinue reading “Friday’s Post”

Hope everyone is staying indoors and staying safe. It’s beginning to sink in around my area, I’m not seeing as many people walk around. But the weekend should be interesting, will we find the selfish people visiting parks, beaches and family members? I do hope not. We were asked this evening to stand by ourContinue reading “Thursday’s Post”

Another sunny day, another day watching people walk by, are they all going to work? Are they just going shopping? Or are they meeting up with friends? Watching the news, scrolling on FB, or talking to friends and family on the phone, more and more people are getting onboard with social distancing, but what isContinue reading “Wednesday’s Post”

So…….. My prime minister gave a press conference yesterday. Advising everyone that if you don’t need to go out, then stay in!! I don’t think it will be long before a proper lock down will be in place. Police will be patrolling more, giving out fines if necessary. Let’s hope the people that don’t needContinue reading “Tuesday’s Post”

Not going to remind myself how many days I’ve been self isolating anymore. Made a list of cleaning….. one room to take two days. A proper deep clean. Watching the world go by via the window…. but what makes me cross are the kids playing outside, the groups of people chatting outside in the sun!!Continue reading “Monday’s Post”

Self isolation Day 4….. Happy Mother’s Day 💐 I hope you all had a good day. Sadly my son couldn’t join me for Mother’s Day this year, we are on a lockdown. Had a lovely chat via phone. Not the same, but at least I know he’s safe in his own home. Popped up toContinue reading “Sunday’s Post”

Day 3 of self isolation…… Not how I was expecting to spend my weekend. Watching the world go by via the window and tv screen. The sun was out, but I’m staying in!! No work, no delivery today, instead housework!! Got a little done all to music (always makes it go quicker I think) YesterdayContinue reading “Saturday’s Post”

Day 2 of self isolation…… I made the effort and got dressed today. Phoned a few friends, chatted with friends and family. FaceTimed and even managed to set a chat to video chat with my granddaughter on messenger tomorrow. Thinking this will be our “normal” for a while. Sorted out my plastics cupboard (those lidsContinue reading “Friday’s Post”

Ok….. Official first day of self isolation….. I’d planned to get a long list of things to do…. I in fact did nothing ….. I phoned family and friends on and off for most of the day. I start tomorrow 😉 🦋

First, let me thank all the healthcare workers who are our front-line defense against the coronavirus: doctors, nurses, laboratory technologists, and researchers. Thank you for all that you do. To the shop workers, who are tirelessly trying to restock the shelves. I hope everyone is able to stay safe. This is going to be aContinue reading “Thursday’s Post”

Today is my day off. So I can pretend for today that everything is normal. I’m going shopping, then pop in to see my friend, then that’s it, self isolation will be in force!! Mari Gilbert relentlessly drives law enforcement agents to search for her missing daughter and, in the process, sheds light on aContinue reading “Wednesday’s Post”

After a walk to work with a non existent sun on my face, (well after yesterday I was getting ready for spring) it was time for the delivery. Smaller than Saturday’s (wouldn’t you know it!) the topic at work bounced between this damned virus and the affair I told you about ……. well the latestContinue reading “Tuesday’s Post”

What a beautiful day today. The sun was out, a little chilly but it made a nice change to walk to work with the sun on my back. Upheaval is imminent, this damn virus is playing havoc with daily life. Self isolation, bulk buying and general ignorance is causing mayhem. Being told in work thatContinue reading “Monday’s Post”

Rained on and off for most of the day. A lazy day today. Laundry and watching a movie day …… Watched the Lion King….. Love this film 💜it’s my son’s favourite film. He took me to London for my 40th birthday. We watched it in the theatre. I took him to see the Disney cartoonContinue reading “Sunday’s Post”

Listening to the rain in bed this morning, I did hope it was going to stop by the time I got up. And it did, but as for anything else that morning, I wasn’t so lucky!! Delivery was late, delivery was huge!! And no help until 11am, an hour on my own lifting and shifting.Continue reading “Saturday’s Post”

With all the madness that’s going on in the world it’s hard to find any levity. I don’t do videos, I’m just a watcher 😉 and I’ll admit to getting lost in there (there is no clock, so before you know it an hour has disappeared) there are so many videos to watch, and youContinue reading “Friday’s Post”

Thursday sees me and Emma doing the delivery. But first, the cold walk to work, Throe on w little light drizzle and we have a completely different weather pattern from yesterday!! So delivery…… not too bad today, so that means a large one on Saturday (of course) Oh and we have a new kitchen managerContinue reading “Thursday’s Post”

Yay day off 😊 Popped up to the grave this morning. Did a little shopping in town. Then popped over to see a dear friend. Whilst having lunch we watched a film, today a romantic comedy…… Trainwreck is a 2015 American romantic comedy film directed by Judd Apatow and written by Amy Schumer. The film stars Schumer and Bill Hader along with anContinue reading “Wednesday’s Post”

Delivery day….. Gets in, and guess what? Yup! We are still discussing yesterday’s events…. Today I have an update!! So FB is still quiet (no one has heard from fiancée or the line chef, and the girlfriend has gone quiet too) But the best bit? He proposed to the new girlfriend!!! I kid you not,Continue reading “Tuesday’s Post”

Yes it’s late…. So why bother???? So….. Back to work today….. And I walk into a WHOLE lot of DRAMA!!! Can’t remember if I told you….. At work we had my assistant manager and a line chef having an affair!! He’s engaged, she’s single. Well over the weekend it all kicked off!! My ex-assistant managerContinue reading “Monday’s Post”

Final full day of rest. So I took it easy. We had a new washing machine delivered (old one broke a few days ago, so had to ask landlord for a repair or new one, we got a new one 😊 Plumbing that thing in was a nightmare!!! We had to cut the old oneContinue reading “Sunday’s Post”

Drink for you to try 😉 Another day in bed!! Do I feel a little guilty? A little, but since my last really bad cold, I can’t shake this cough. I now have asthma, so a cold quickly turns into a cough. Taking nearly a week off seems to have helped, by now I’ve gotContinue reading “Saturday’s Post”

The weather today was a total contrast to yesterday’s. Sun was out, but still a little chilly. Not that I’d know, I was still in bed. Getting better, just a cough (which was here anyway!!) Off tomorrow, so thinking I might catch up with a few reviews 😉 🦋

A cold and wet day today. It’s delivery day, but without me….. At home still getting over this head cold 🤧 Have I done much today? No, have I read? No, I’ve been listening to music and looking out the window. I’m sure I’ll be kicking myself next week, cursing that I had all thatContinue reading “Thursday’s Post”

Now, usually I’m out and about on my day off….. Not today, trying to get rid of this head cold, so I’ve spent the day in my pj’s and my bed. Yes I could have read loads, but I’ve listened to music and just chilled. I had a couple of naps. 🦋

Delivery day with a head cold is no fun. But at the moment we luckily have a kitchen manager from another restaurant, she’d brought along two of her staff (one being a young lad to do pot wash) I got help with bringing in the delivery, also got a hard putting it away. I’ll haveContinue reading “Tuesday’s Post”

Waking up with a head cold this morning! But armed with paracetamol and water i made it through the day. Hoping it goes soon, my sinus is full and the left side of my face is full of snot!! 🦋

The sun almost blinded me when I opened the curtains this morning. It made for a nice surprise, never sure what Mother Nature has planned at the moment. So I made the most of it. Tidied the garden (well Kim’s little area mainly) and cleared away the rubbish blown about by the recent storms. AlsoContinue reading “Sunday’s Post”
