Tuesday 21 April
Another ‘school day’ under lockdown with Lisa in school, kids working in their rooms and me working downstairs with Mabel keeping me company.
Very windy but still wall-to-wall sunshine with birds queuing up to get to the food; also in line is a brazen grey squirrel and ‘Fat Pigeon’ as kids fondly refer to it.
Outdoor lights have arrived for the pergola and so has the saddle soap to try and recover our two leather satchels – another project initiated as a consequence of watching The Repair Shop on TV.
Home made pizza for tea tonight which we love and have picked up some Serrano ham and some mushrooms from the village shop during our dog walk this evening.
Spoke with Dad today and helped him pay for Mum’s care home invoice; I’ve realised that I have hardly mentioned Mum at all throughout this blog which has made me sad and shamed. Love you, Mum.
