Evening everyone,
What a funny day it has been here. One minute its raining, the next sunny, the next windy and chilly. It can't make it's mind up! I put my washing out and before I could get it back in it was wet again. Finally fetched it in late afternoon and had to finish it off in the dryer. So annoying.
I'm hoping that the weather picks up for the weekend as it's my youngest daughter's birthday and we had promised her a bbq to cheer her up. It's been so hard on the young ones, their lives have been changed beyond all recognition. The poor girl has been furloughed from work and forced into isolation with a couple of pensioners. I just imagine myself being in that situation at her age (21), no work, no visiting friends, no social life, no shopping and forced to watch daytime television. Horrific! So, we thought that now some of the restrictions have been lifted, we could let her best friend come over for the evening and do a bbq. Social distancing of course in the garden. So if you could all please cross your fingers for fine weather i'd greatly appreciate it. I really can't face the disappointment and sulking.
It's funny isn't it how one minute they want to be treated as a grown up and the next they're asking you if you are still making them a birthday cake, oh, and don't forget the candles! I wouldn't change a thing though. Pics of birthday cake on Friday to follow. I'm going to have to be firm with how much of that cake I eat though. I'm scared to get on the scales at the moment.
Well we are halfway through another week. How these weeks are just flying by in this new 'normal' world we are being forced to accept. Days roll into weeks and weeks roll into months. Such a waste. But, at least we look like we are heading in the right direction and hopefully a vaccine will be found so that we can get back to a simpler, less stressful life.
Take care and stay safe everyone,
Until tomorrow

I will try to read all comments and reply.
Please be polite and kind. Thanks :)
Taking the massive leap of faith into retirement in our early 50's. Living on 1/3 of our old income, reducing our spending but still living a full and happy life, just being more resourceful! Spending quality time with family but not giving away our precious time too freely so that there's none left to explore new hobbies and interests. Setting time aside for relaxation and well being. Trying new adventures and making precious memories.
