6.4 today as we begin the new lockdown.

Her ladyship has a garden party arranged although I have told her she will be breaking the law. I am actually worn out by stupid people and their false logic, and I think I've finally reached the point of 'let it burn'.

Working on the front garden today, the baby robins I rescued earlier in the year have taken to following me around the garden in the hope I will uncover a tasty morsel or two, they keep me smiling :)

Enjoy the day

Good morning everyone from the promise of another wonderful day in the dark and dangerous north

The wonder wheel of cancelled dining out and a plate of unorganised freezer raiding came in at 5.4 this am.

We were supposed to be taking our granddaughter out to dinner last night but due to crossed wires, ageing brains and messages typed but unsent, it will now be on Wednesday.

Baking yesterday, a fibreflour loaf loaded with seeds and a batch of turmeric tea. Feeding squirrels in the park with daughter and granddaughter. No pigeons to poison - according to Tom Lehrer that is a springtime activity and you have to stay with all things seasonal nowadays - or is that just side orders of vegetables?

Today, a shoal of trees from a walk in the woods with the grandchildren on Sunday. Hope you have a wonderful day. Hug for @Muddy Cyclist and hope that the antibiotics kick in quickly. Koffy.

Enjoy the Robins and gardening they will keep your sanity and balance. We are living in truly bizarre times where reality is totally denied by both our "leaders" and huge swathes of the population. Keep your head down and hold fast to your course.
Edit: The irony of a man who believes in a supernatural being decrying alternative realities isn't lost on me

5.3 this morning. Had a good day yesterday. Coming home in the middle of the day was brilliant - I got lots of admin done. I must admit all the steralising of the venues is exhausting. The halls I teach in are massive and it takes ages to steralise the floors. I have made one toilet unisex and only one cubical to be cleaned - which really cuts down on the steralising. I will be really fit at the end of all this.

Off to the farm shop shortly to get milk and eggs.

Hug for the extra work due to caring for others. Winner for food choices. Is the milk raw milk? - we watch the farming life/awards series and saw Fen Farm Bungay last night. I have just found a raw milk seller near us - 11 mins or 4.6 miles.- could be worth a tootle out. Have a relaxing time, you're worth it.

I gave you winner, but you also need hugs for all that work involved @Krystyna23040

Charlie is well prepared found a large bag of dried cat nip so he is zonked out for now...overall he is doing a little better...woke to a 6.5...keep safe everyone.

Unfortunately not raw. It is pasteurized but not homogonised and the farmer guarantees that the cows are not treated with antibiotics.

It is lovely seeing the animals grazing in the fields.

yes @gennepher - I definitely do need hugs for all that work. Hopefully the Oxford vaccine will work and we can go back to a normal life.

Hold on, what's that flying past the window. Oh no - it's a pig!!!
The issue seems to be what or whose normal becomes the way we live post pandemic. Twice in a decade now we have seen the old normal is badly broken but my fellow Boomers (i + ii ) and the remnants of the 2 generations before largely refuse to give a poo about their children, grandchildren or anyone else. They also keep voting - weirdly for leaders either side of the Atlantic happy to see them die. They are also prominent in the low fat, eat your carbs and take yer meds crowd.

Thank you. They maybe ought to be anchored in some ground but it’s what they were like in the helium forrest of Brum
Nice shoal of trees, it's interesting seeing them Flounder as they didn't have a Plaice. :)
