House arrest - let’s look on the bright side!

Housework :grin: made a success of my life…
No seriously, lots :persevere: I’m hoping to do all sorts when/if I retire if I haven’t fallen to bits or gone loopy.

Me too though the chatting with kids is all virtual these days. We have one here with us, the eldest 39 having cancer treatment after horrendously bad care under the NHS, he left behind a fiancée in UK who is self confined all alone. Second in Boulogne near Paris with g/f both working from home. Third girl confined in Brighton with flatmates. Youngest boy is working in Niger where there are NO measures being taken though there are cases in Nigeria! Hope Boris hasn’t left it too too late. Enjoy time with you kids. It doesn’t happen often…

Groan (I’d like to say the oldies are the goldies, but in this case…)

Well…very lucky to get my daughter from Limoges on what could be the last Ryanair flight out of the uk for some time…with 6/hectares to roam around in and lots of seeds to plant, clay to play with it’s not an ordeal tbh…

So today …prepared a seed bed for beetroot-carrots-radishes…
Worked on a ceramic sculpture
And now enjoying a gin and T n front of the woodburner whilst the dinner cooks watching a daft German programe…
Oh the daughter is now playing Indian dance music…joy of joys…keep happy people.

Fortunately we had already ordered seeds for the potager, so we have tomato plants coming up and
other veg to look forward to.
At present we have early purple sprouting broccoli, rhubarb and green broccoli coming on.
We are looking forward to the asparagus season and we get about a kilo a day, so we can give some to our neighbours along with eggs…

Thank you so much for posting that video… Crying with laughter.

Lockdown extended to April 15…don’t expect that to be the last one either.

No, quite. Better that way, really.

I thought about giving the upstairs shutters a quick lick of paint before I shrank, but the fresh viennoiseries won.
