Day 9
The weather today has been truly horrible. We've had a nasty drizzle that soaks everything, and it has been grey, foggy and chilly. The very worst of the winter weather,
Keith and I drove over to the doctors' surgery for Mike's sick note and then delivered it to the golf club. Luckily, Mike's boss was in the car park, so we were able to give it to him straight away. The place was empty again, and I had no idea what the greenskeepers were doing in the foul weather!
Back home, Keith had ants in his pants and wandered around the house looking restless and bored. He decided to clean Mike's room, and we managed to shift a whole bag full of plastic bottles and empty crisp bags. We then had four washes to do!
While the washes were on Keith went to Aldi, and Sophie and I went for a very wet walk. It was dry at first, which fooled us into a false sense of security, but halfway to the village the dreaded drizzle started again, and we ended up soaked!
It was bliss to get home and have some lunch in the warm conservatory. Keith arrived home at the same time as us, and we helped him unpack some of the essentials we buy in the supermarket. It will save us time tomorrow.
The weather didn't improve all day. We have the heating on permanently at the moment, so heaven knows how much our fuel bills are going to be after this is all over. At least during the first lockdown, it was Spring and Summer!
The news tonight was terrible again - another record number of deaths, but infections do seem to be falling. However, over 2 million people have now been vaccinated, including my parents, who received the Oxford-Astra Zeneca jab today. Great news at last!
