Looking at the forecast for this week, it appears that the beginning of March is going to stay gloomy and grey. What a shame, because we had plans to go out into the garden and get stuck in!
Today has been much like a repeat of yesterday, although Keith and I did venture out to pay our newspaper delivery bill, and to get some diesel before collecting Mike from work. Exciting stuff, eh? Staying in and not going anywhere definitely seems like the norm now and something we have adapted to, so I think it will be a real novelty when we're able to go out properly for the first time! Life, as it used to be, is a distant memory!
We received a letter in the post today about the forthcoming Census, on the 21 March. We have been encouraged to complete it online, which I'm more than happy to do. It only seems a few years since we completed the 2011 Census, and as an avid family tree researcher, I am eagerly awaiting the 1921 Census, which will become available next year.
It was the Budget today and we managed to watch some on the television. For me, it just involved huge numbers and I do wonder how we're going to pay all this debt back. It's mind-boggling! There will be the inevitable detailed analysis on the news and in the papers, so I will scan that!
After dinner this evening we watched the second episode of Masterchef, but the people taking part seemed a bit boring. Sadists as we are, Sophie and I love to see a pompous entrant falling flat on their face after babbling on about being an excellent cook, but there doesn't seem to be any of that so far!
Keith and I also watched a new drama called The Terror set in 1846 about two boats trying to find the North-West Passage through the Arctic. It promises to be very good if a little spine-tingling!
