For some reason daily life seemed calmer when I was busy and had a timetable with people to meet and a few responsibilities. Now with nothing much to worry about and spending the day faffing around and pretending to be busy I can feel a bit lost. I never was very self motivated for long, I have to have a project. Truth is, I’ve got a few in hand or at least in my head but I’m not doing much with them, except telling you about them.
Captain Tom has received Pride of Britain award for raising the staggering amount of 28 million pounds. Furthermore several artworks which have been carried out to immortalise him will be auctioned for charity. I can’t imagine what the final figure raised by Captain Tom will be. I watched the video of when he was told he had received the prize and am amazed at his humility and how quick his brain is at 100 years. He absolutely understood everything that was said to him and chatted with the presenters as if he were 20 years younger..
The POTUS hasn’t got enough to worry about with COVID-19, he has instructed the US navy to shoot down and destroy any and all Iranian gunboats who harass US ships at sea. I think the world can do nicely without a war in the Persian Gulf.
Just to let you know and in case you missed it, several couples have married using the video app Zoom. I believe the couple in each case were together, just the guests attending the ceremony remotely. I’m not sure if they’ll have to marry again after isolation to legalise the event but I was told when I was young and impressionable that marriage was made in heaven. There, I’ve got that sorted.
Back in the family (mine that is), it seems that my stepson Colin Arthur in Cheshire and my grandson Christian Blandford in Kent have been having a remote bread making competition. Now I have to say that in true Arthur/Blandford family tradition they are both good cooks. Photos of the two entries have been shown on Facebook and I wouldn’t mind a slice of either or both. I wouldn’t however like to be the judge. I decided this evening to make myself an apple pie, old fashioned plate pie, because I had some apples that I wanted to use up. I don’t think it would have won any competition but it wasn’t bad. Now, of course, I have quite a large pie to get through and here I am on my own, Oh dear. Nearly time for bed. Sleep calmly and wake in the morning ready to carry on. Good night. 😴💤😴
