I go outside to feed the birds and change the water in their water bath.

Time for my mate Henry to come out for a play!

Also mop and bucket came out.

Much needed coffee time!

My vitamins arrived \o/

Now to write yesterday's blog post.

I ordered some nice things from the Trouva website. As normal the delivery firm  can't find my house!

So every item has now got to be directed to another their pick up point. 

Waiting for the comments from the pick up point why I haven't picked them up earlier!!

The voting papers for the council elections was delivered as well.

I have to take my own pen/pencil and wear a facemask to vote.

Finished my blogpost.

Early lunch time is needed!

Goes outside for a walk up and down the path.

A book I ordered arrived \o/

I have been collecting the Prima Makes magazines.

Really good magazines.

I have issues, 1,2,3,5, and 19 arriving soon.

Tea at 3. 

Once the kids came home, they were going to deliver some leaflets for our great friend Joe.

Dropped them off.

I popped into my Doctor Surgery and there was one brave soul in there, not wearing his facemask. He forgot, what he replied when he got asked. I left very quickly wearing my facemask!

Back home.

I get the tea on the go.

Hubby comes home,

I give him a wet sloppy 💋.

He gives me one back 💋.

He also gives me the newspaper!

All that gardening yesterday,

Made me oversleep!

Once up, the washing machine went on,
