A Reasonable Excuse?

Away from home for a few days after a family emergency - hoping that travelling away from the place where I live is allowed under The Health Protection (Coronavirus Restrictions) (Wales) Regulations 2020 regulation 8(d):

I suppose 'providing care or assistance' to family, after a fall and hospital stay, might count . . .

At least they are on the mend.

Ouch #2

Here we go again . . .  it's been a while since the last time my wisdom tooth played up, and lockdown isn't exactly conducive to dental appointments!

In the event, the dental emergency was all handled over the phone - prescription issued and collected - and an enforced period of teetotalism underway.  Hopefully caught it early enough to avoid the worst of the pain . . .

Lockdown Baking

Flour continues to be in short supply in the shops, as we all indulge in lockdown baking - so far I've made savoury bacon muffins, sweet potato and cranberry cake, and the latest offering:

Danish Dream Cake - very nice, but not good for the diet!

Friday Night In

Virtual concert attendance . . .

Show of Hands: Live at the Minack Theatre from 2018 streaming to the tv . . .

. . .  cider, candles and fancy lights - all aiming for that 'festival' atmosphere!

Home Working #2

It was becoming increasingly obvious work-wise that I wouldn't be back in the office any time soon - and with no incentive to stay downstairs now the rayburn is off - decided it was probably time to upgrade the home working set-up. 

An old computer desk was duly retrieved from the loft, cleaned, and re-assembled (Martin had to improvise a bit as we couldn't find the screws that originally held it together!).  The upstairs spare room was tidied out to make space.  Et voila!  An office - of sorts  . . .

Next on the wish-list - a proper monitor!
