Friday
I was expecting the rain yesterday but the thunder and lightning came as a bit of a shock! The forecast promises more thunderstorms today so I have no plans to go out.
Yesterday was a lovely gentle day. My haircut didn't happen (at my request) so will be rescheduled but I posted the birthday card and ordered a few bits and bobs for myself online. My sister called round mid morning for a chat, bringing more books and some cooking apples with her - she didn't come in because she is avoiding contact as much as possible at present as her latest grandchild is due any day. It wasn't raining at the time so we did manage to have a socially distanced chat. In the afternoon I caught up on my phone calls with friends and the rest of my day was spent listening to music, reading, and puzzling over possessive pronouns in Italian.
I don't have anything specific planned for today. Julie found some cardboard boxes for me so I may start packing up the items I've set aside for the charity shop, then see if I can arrange a collection. I also need to book a slot for the recycling yard which is now appointment only, but I haven't been too successful getting a time so far. Apart from that it'll be more of the same - Italian lessons, reading, and music.
Sounds like you've planned a nice, relaxed day. I'm glad you were able to have a socially distanced visit with your sister. What are you planning to make with the apples?
ReplyDeleteIt was good to see her again face to face.
DeleteI'm making and freezing individual portions of apple sauce to have with pork and spiced apple and sultanas to have with porridge.
It sounds lovely. How nice to see your sister and how exciting about the grandchild.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you plan to make with the cooking apples?

We've told the baby's mum to hold on giving birth until September because of the academic year!
DeleteI'm making apple sauce to have with pork and spiced apple and sultanas to have with porridge. I'll freeze it all in individual portions.
How great to have an in person chat with your sister & that she came bearing gifts! Happy Weekend, & being a bank holiday weekend, I hope that you get some sunshine.
ReplyDeleteWe're promised sunshine next week! Nobody in the UK expects good weather on a Bank Holiday weekend!
DeleteIt was great to see my sister again.
Hi Eileen,
ReplyDeleteI hope the weather is better today. Thunderstorm and lightning? Here although windy, the weather is fine with sunshine and a blue sky.
It is very good to have your time well planned, because it is more distracting.
There are days when we don’t have so many options ... We have to go on managing the best possible.
I wish you a pleasant weekend.
Hugs

Sadly, the bad weather continues but I'm warm and cosy at home so I'm not too bothered.
DeleteI agree with what you say, we have to manage as best as we can. I'm choosing to stay at home as much as I can so I need to keep coming up with ways to keep myself occupied. Some days are easier than others. I hope you have s lovely weekend Ailime xx
Rainy days are good days for staying in. That's my plan here today :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a perfect day tucked up indoors out of the rain!
