A quiet life

Not a lot has happened since my last post. We have just quietly (for the most part) pottered through various jobs. Both of us have read quite a few books. My husband has been out in the garden using his chainsaw and his maul to cut up some wood. We still want the woodburner on in the evenings for a while. Our living room only gets the sun for about 45 minutes in late afternoon so we need the woodburner on to make it warm enough to sit in that room if we want the tv on. Using his chainsaw is noisy which is why we have only been quiet for the most part. He just did a bit, came and sat down for a while and then went and did another bit etc. We are much better now but still not really got our energy back.

Our daughter is still doing our shopping for us. It is so good of her because I don't think I could cope yet with queuing in a car park for ages and then walking around a shop when it was my turn to go in. We have some stuff in the freezer so we are only asking her to get some fresh stuff. She is now doing the shopping for her family, for us, her mother-in-law, another relative nearby and three elderly neighbours. That is seven households. Bless her!

We have lots of seeds sown and are waiting to see what comes up. All the seeds are from past years so the germination rate may not be as good as we would like. We are hopeful that by the time they need planted out (assuming we get something to plant out) then we will have enough energy to go to the allotment. The trouble is that the plot may have rather a lot of weed on it which we will have to clear before we can plant anything. I am starting to feel tired again just thinking about it : )

Stay healthy!
