And I didn’t – go out that is. Neither did I start my day with wake up exercise. Result – low energy. Had a phone call before coffee, my brain finds this confusing. Then I pottered around in PJs drinking strong filter coffee. No idea what I did. Later I cut my toe nails but only on one foot. Tomorrow’s another day. I thought I might take an exercise walk but decided to make a start on my balcony instead. Good plan, I sorted my plants and got the primulas in pots, lovely and bright. I got rid of a whole lots of dead stuff from last year and felt a hell of a lot better for it. How do I feel now? To quote Scott & Bailey somewhere between fabulous and shit. Sleep well all you loners. 💤😘💤😴

Definitely better than yesterday. I started day 3 with 3 minutes and 3 seconds of wake up exercise. I bet you didn’t expect that 😮 Coffee in hand I got my first phone call, a blast from the past who had thought about me. This is starting nicely. I did a bit of tidying and dusting (housework?) while chatting, mainly about him. Alexa, play some disco music please. My To Do list was calling so I wrote a letter by hand – no, you’ll have to wait till the postman has been to find out if it’s for you. I danced on the balcony to I Believe in Miracles but, sadly no sexy thing came along 😢 then came Stayin Alive 🎶 Alexa has some weird sense of humour. You’ve seen the pics, I went for a walk to post my letters. It’s eerily quiet downtown. Good to be out though, more exercise. Back in time for BoJo but he didn’t appear and a phone call interrupted most of the update. 8.02 pm I remembered about clapping for our wonderful helpers. Back to the balcony but sadly it was just me 🤨. Maybe next time. Night night mañana is another day.

Almost too embarrassed to post today. My To Do list is even longer but sadly not even one item moved to the dones (another word I just made up). The trouble is the phone. My sister in Australia had a birthday today, 75 long years and she’s still younger than me. I phoned her and that set off a virtual avalanche of calls. I enjoyed most of them. Some video calls, grandchildren, step children, friends, calls from virus stricken Madrid and a hoax call that may have wished he hadn’t bothered. No walk, no painting and obviously no housework. I’ll try to do better tomorrow. Hope you all had a productive day.
