An evening of relaxation.

I was hoping that today wouldn't be an unlucky Friday 13th as there is enough bad news about at the moment! Having said that, we had another film postponed - Mulan - and the phones did go down briefly!

At 2pm I went straight to see Mum and Dad and had a cup of tea with them. To be honest, they are in the best place at the moment as the coronavirus is becoming worse and worse by the day. I managed to add to Mum's Tesco delivery tomorrow and ensured it would be delivered for them!

Back home I cleaned the downstairs of the house and set the table in readiness for this evening. I was highly aware of hygiene so I mopped all the floors, scrubbed the cloakroom and washed all the crockery and cutlery!

Sophie came home from work, showered and then made me a lovely salad. We had about half an hour's relaxation before we had to prepare the food so we did manage one glass of wine! Mike went to Birmingham this evening to spend the weekend with Abbie and some friends. I wasn't entirely happy about him going as we all really need to try and stay away from large groups of people at the moment.

Sue and Michelle arrived at 7.45pm and we had a lovely evening catching up and eating some delicious food. We went through two bottles of Prosecco and a bottle of the New Zealand Pinot Gris so we were all very merry! Obviously, the main topic of conversation was the current situation with the coronavirus pandemic but we all managed to retain our sense of humour. Maybe one of the good things about the situation will be communities coming together to help each other out?

Sue and Michelle left at about 11pm so after washing up and clearing away, it was off to bed!
