It’s been a busy day for me and others. The House of commons has reopened with the majority of MPs attending remotely via Zoom. I hope they don’t (or may I hope they do) get bombed like I did by a porn site. That would make fun watching when you tune into Today in Parliament. The new leader of the opposition Sir Keir Starmer did what he was voted in to do, oppose. He obviously, because that’s what he’s meant to do, accused the government of making all the wrong decisions regarding Covid-19. Hindsight is a wonderful commodity.
There’s a couple who met last November at a remembrance day service. They got on really well and started dating but then coronavirus hit and they realised they wouldn’t be able to meet up when lockdown came, so they decided to move in together rather than isolate alone. They are really enjoying their isolation and say they have now fallen in love and they are both 97. It’s never too late to be happy. Someone else who’s happy is the winner of Euro millions. He won 58 million and said he can now retire.
Now here’s what I’ve been up to. I went for a walk and popped into Boots as I needed some indigestion tablets. I couldn’t find what I wanted so asked a member of staff for something for my bloated stomach, ‘oh’ she said in a very loud voice ‘do you mean windeze’? So much for diplomacy. I decided as the weather is warming up I would make some Gazpacho soup, something I love and which is also very healthy. I will add a recipe section to my nannyjune blog page as granddaughter Lou said she would like me to after I blogged about meatballs yesterday. Now I would like to mention that our Lou is an NHS nurse and loves a bit of the ‘good life’. She grows veg and stuff and makes her own pickles and jams etc. She’s married to Ben and they have two lovely boys. So recipe section coming up within the next few days.
This evening I’ve been watching GB Sewing Bee. I used to do a lot of sewing and it made me want to get my machine out again. I’m going to be busy aren’t I? I’ve also thought that this is a good time to write a bucket list. Not that I’m thinking of kicking it any time soon but it’s going to be hard to do certain things from now on, at least for some time so I need to think about it. I realised that I’ve not yet seen the Shard in London so that might be number one or even number fifteen, it doesn’t matter. What does matter is that I do something. And you all sleep well, nighty night 😴💤😴
