Friday 17 April
Got some upsetting news today; being at home I think helped me work it through and then pass it on to the rest of the family.
It made me reflect on how, in the day-to-day hustle and bustle, we don’t have the time to mentally digest and manage bad news when it happens; I am going to carry this with me after this lockdown.
The post arrived this morning with everything for me; a replacement wheelbarrow wheel, a magazine and a t-shirt I ordered from the US for a band I am listening to alot at the moment – Parsonsfield.
Spent some mindless time this afternoon sorting my screws, nails and tools that had accumulated in the shed – also changed my wheelbarrow wheel – then went for a walk with Mabel and tried to name all of the wildflowers I could see.
Me and Lisa watched Gardeners World this evening followed by another episode of The Repair Shop which we only discovered for the first time this week; every episode we have watched so far has left us in tears for the stories but inspired also to fix and make do with what we already have and are grateful for.
