Homeworking and News From the Front

Sunday morning - reflecting the past week, when - astonishing, nearly spilt the tea - a Barn Owl passed our window, perched on a fencepost and quartered ours and next door's garden! Must get up earlier.

Kippers for breakfast, Trix clears the bones. Thank goodness for Susie and Food Station and for Tesco Click 'n Collect kindly brought in by our Gladwins Farm carer.

Thought I'd try a Tapioca pudding, then found it's a dreadful pile of carbs!

However, someone's not on this diet!

Isolation Day 1

Grandpa Robert's Isolation Blog

Chapter 1, Day 1

 So, where will it end and will we find enough to do?

Mothers' Day today, so met - at a safe distance - Susie & Isabel to say hello to Pauline; what on earth would she make of this? At least she would have made sure there were eggs and milk in the house!

On with the jobs:

Back garden - new fence, all done

Big tidy up, even found a rathole

New beds all dug out ready for planting

Lawn needs mowing, Day 2 job!

Front bed all dug and ready; roses pruned, sundial re-located

Just needs the time setting!

Swinging seat adjusted, roses pruned

So, a busy weekend, all ready for Clare's birthday tomorrow.

How on earth will we pass the time for the next 12 weeks? Answers on a postcard
