All change.

The DP went shopping early this morning for the over 65s only.  Apparently there was plenty room and people were all being careful to keep their distance.  No panic buying but as many of the shelves were already empty not possible anyway.  Check out staff were unbearably helpful!  We take our own bags and the checkout operator didn't know whether to help with packing or not!

He will still have to shop tomorrow, our normal day, as it was too early to buy wine!  Plus a visit to our butchers where we also get our milk in glass bottles.  And return the empties.  

Events move on apace.  Three of our daughters now have children off school and/or nursery from Friday.  

The DP and I went to the Prom which so far we are allowed to do.




Two small boats.


One heading for an oil rig.


Two lovely dogs having a love in with the owner.


Lots of Gulls.


All time favourite, Oystercatcher.


Our beautiful beach.

Later and back home.



Signs of Spring.

Dyson.


First of the harem.


Great Tit breaking up a nut.

While having our evening meal we began a list of things WE CAN DO.

Including me pruning.  DP cleaning inside windows!  DP doing fence hanging trough planting.  Me damp cloth dusting shelves.  No excuse!

Glad you can still get out. My sister and BIL went to their Iceland this morning and it was packed. They had to queue to get in and then no trolleys for a while. Then a huge queue at the till but at least the shelves were full.

Dyson is one handsome pheasant. I have self isolated for a week, but walk with my dog twice a day. Be well.

Beautiful pictures.

I am trying to social distance, but it is difficult to do when shopping. I am hopeful that today people will manage to stay far away from each other.

God bless.

I'm enjoying a blog catch up and am relieved to find you are keeping well, in good spirits and that you are getting out to the prom still. It's just a shame you are unable to have your family gathering as you'd hoped. X

Making a list of what I can do is a good idea! ...Altho, I am wasting a lot of time reading blogs! :) It is enjoyable and comforting so thanks for posting each day!
