So here we are again. Another day in lockdown is complete and there are still no bodies under the Low patio…. for now. I suspect my wife is very close to snapping but she is hiding it well. If these updates stop or if they start sounding a bit more feminine please send help although it might be too late as my wife is pretty efficient!
Today was F day so all about Flowers. In reality it involved a lot of catching up from Eggs day. We did however do some flower pressing and some flower spotting when out for our Government sanctioned exercise. What is my life coming to when I’m posting on Facebook about going flower spotting?!? M did a great job helping Steph with her work today and was not a distraction at all! 🤥
Top 5 observations for today:
1. How special are trips to the supermarket? They are such a highlight of the week it is ridiculous. This is especially so with the enforced one adult only rule which means I have to go by myself. At one point I did find myself sitting in the middle of the bread aisle (which was empty of course- of people and bread) just savouring the silence. 🍞
2. When we left for our lunchtime walk we stumbled upon a sadly rigid bird on the street lying on its back with both legs sticking up. E was intrigued but also slightly disgusted. Upon our return I was relieved to see it was gone, presumably consumed by one of the neighbouring cats. E was relieved to see that it was no longer poorly and must have flown off! 🐦
3. Never in my professional life have I ever used the same word in discussions with clients so frequently having never ever uttered it before. #Furlough 👨⚖️
4. E climbing into our bed at 2.15am is not okay even if we weren’t in this situation and already exhausted. To be fair it’s not her getting in with us which is the problem but rather the way she then takes over the entire bed. How can someone so little starfish so widely? How and why does she rotate 90 degrees but always clockwise so she just puts her feet in my face? And how can that be more comfortable than staying in her whole roomy bed? And then the audacity of her to play mummies and babies this afternoon and telling M to get back into his (homemade) bed. The irony was not lost on us! 🥱
5. I am very VERY excited about the date tomorrow. Heaven help my family being trapped in a house with me on that day of all days…. 📆
