A blog for heart matters and natters.
One of our three year old grandson's favourite things to do is making a den and playing transformers.
All well and good except I have to also fold myself up tightly into the same tiny space. The contortions to get into position are difficult enough but after an hour or more of being curled up, it takes much longer to extract myself.
After very recently being able to cuddle our grand-daughter since she was born over eighteen months ago, we had a day out. We were allowed as our son and daughter-in-law were given the all clear from their Covid tests.
Whilst earlier generations had reasons to be negative about certain countries and/or regimes, I wonder if this generation will come to think ill of China for inflicting Covid on the world?
We had a delivery of a cot bed.
No, not for us directly but in preparation for our son, daughter-in-law and baby.
Well, baby is not strictly true.We are hoping to see our eighteen month old grand-daughter whom we have only ever seen on zoom.
What a terrible time that Covid has caused.
Thursday is market day and always worth a look around.
The plant stall is always worth a look and the quality is good. The Erigeron we bought is doing well.
I chatted to the fishmonger and he says that his fish come from Cornish fishermen. We bought some halibut, it is quite rare to see.
Goodness we have had some wet and windy weather recently.
I hope that everyone is looking forward to getting out and about on Monday 17th May.
What a weird time we are living in.
I have not read any reports of hosepipe bans but we have had a dry time recently.
Bit cold for sitting out some days and a bit windy but when it has been good, it has been great to sit out and watch Spring emerging, lots of bluebells everywhere.
I know some people like the changing weather but I would be happy that the plants get watered from the ground and we didn't have clouds and rain. And in particular whilst a gentle breeze may be welcome on hot days, I hate strong winds.
Is anyone else going out and about?
I had to go to Southmead hospital for an appointment and we decided to go in to Bristol and look around the shops beforehand.
It was busy and a huge queue went around Primark, which seemed bonkers. Though it is school holidays so I guess it was youngsters shoppoing with their friends. What a strange time to be a teenager.
It was depressing to see quite a few shops now permanently closed though and some of those that were open didn't have full shelves presumably because they are unsure when they will close again.
