Another Day

Husband decided he wanted a day in today. I think that going to work everyday with the restrictions and how on edge everyone is can be tiring. I decided to go off on my own. I took my usual weekday walk. It was supposed to be cloudy today and although chilly it was pretty sunny. I had a lovely walk. I was still out early though not as early as my weekday walks and it was pretty quiet.

I Skyped with Mum. Her computer decided to do updates so it was a little while before we could connect, but in the end we managed it. She's doing okay. I think it will become a little more difficult to be inside once the weather warms up. It's usually a four day weekend in England for the Easter holiday and usually she would be going to church and my sister's for a meal. Not this year. Usually good weather at Easter is a hit and miss but this year the weather where she is looks to be really nice - and nobody can go out in it!!!!

I sat in the garden for a little while this afternoon, stitched and worked on some photos. The days do seem a lot longer and sometimes really drag on. I do feel a little better when I watch something other than television programmes with adverts as they all seem to do with the virus. I watch television to escape! It's almost as bad as the political ads - I'm sure they'll start up soon too! Virus and political ads - ack! I think Netflix will be getting more use than ever and I shall watch some really weird shows just to avoid them.

Here's my cross stitch - not a lot of progress but I hope that by posting I'll keep going on it. Mum has asked me to stitch a card for my sister's 40th wedding anniversary in September so that shall be my next project - if I can find a design!

Thank Goodness...

...this week is over! It's been a rough one mentally. I'm putting a line through it and planning on starting again next week.

Today was okay. I watched and listened to Jesus Christ Superstar which was the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical that was on this week for the YouTube channel The Shows Must Go On. Yesterday I spent lots of time listening to upbeat musicals while I did some crafting. They made me smile and I guess that's what we're all looking for right now.

Daughter rang me this afternoon and we chatted for a long time while she walked the three dogs (one by one) around her neighbourhood. She was telling me about how she still had her Christmas Wreath on the door and she would have to take it down soon. She took a look at it and there was a bird's nest in it with eggs inside!  I told her that was when you knew you'd left your Christmas wreath up when it's spring and the birds have made a nest in it! Ha, ha. She doesn't want to disturb the nest or the eggs so she's not sure what she's going to do. She's thinking they will probably not use the front door for a little while - most of the time they use their side door which is inside their garage where they park their cars - so it won't be too much of a hardship.

I'm not sure what we're doing this weekend - not that there is a lot of choice lol. We do have to take a drive to son's place so maybe we'll sneak a walk in at a state park near him. He lives a little bit away from us but in a smaller town and although he has been able to find most things he has not been able to find toilet paper. I found some today as I had to go out, and bought it for him. We also have car insurance papers that need to go in his car. He isn't driving to work as he's working from home, but he does go shopping and I'd hate for him to be stopped without the up-to-date papers. There are also a couple of other bits he needed. We won't be going in to visit - just dropping the bits off in his car and let him know they are there - maybe a wave from afar lol.

Photo today is actually a meme from Facebook. This really made me smile!

Hope everyone is keeping their chin up! Have a nice weekend.  I'm not sure a long holiday weekend means anything right now - most weeks seem really long!
