Another lazy Sunday!

Day 41

It was supposed to be milder today, but it still felt very cold! The weather has unfortunately been grey and damp, but the wind has not been as ferocious or bitter, which was a relief!

Sophie and I enjoyed veggie sausage sandwiches for breakfast and we've spent the day relaxing - perfect for a Sunday, if not a little boring! Of course, we applied a face mask at around lunchtime, and today's choice was lettuce!

Sophie and I did venture out though - don't get too excited - we went to get petrol, because next week my daughter is abandoning me and going into work every day, due to a colleague being off sick. I am going to miss her sitting in the conservatory, but I'm glad she'll have a change of scene, and it'll be great for her to see her workmates for a while. After next week she might be going in for two days a week.

Her car needed a run, and also needed some fuel, so we went and did that, and on her return, she face-timed her friends Laura and Daisy for an hour. I caught up with a recorded programme upstairs, and also managed to see the news which mentioned next Monday the 22 February as the date that Boris is supposed to be letting us know when this current lockdown will end. It's looking likely that if all over 50s are vaccinated by May then an easing of the lockdown rules may be allowed.

After Sophie said goodbye to her friends, we played another game of Scrabble in the conservatory with a G&T. We also enjoyed a game of cards with Keith, and then made a start on tonight's dinner, a Delia Smith recipe for beef stir-fry. Sophie had prepped everything earlier so all we needed to do was cook, and it took just half an hour from the start to putting the meal on the table. The food was delicious and a recipe we'll cook again, without a doubt!

After we'd eaten, Keith and I resumed our viewing of the James Bond films, The ones I'd recorded had all gone when our Sky box was replaced, but ITV very kindly put on Goldeneye on Saturday night, and it was the next one we had to watch. It was Pierce Brosnan's first outing as Bond and he was gorgeous in it!
