How are you all doing?

[Clever_cloggs]

Not been on here for long while , i struggle with my type 2 diabetes and have anxiety and depression and this blasted virus is not helping at all , feel very confused and hopeless at times

I know the feeling, although I have type 1! I’m avoiding the news as I said and although I don’t like exercise very much, doing a bit has helped and distracting myself with other activities and hobbies.

well didn't last from a nice 8.1 yesterday morning then went up to 14 still got to be happy as before the virus hit i went up to 27 and felt rather dodgy to say the least.

this morning a good 9.1.

well the sun is out still cold though, looking out of the patio everything looks the same with birds flying around then then reality dawns.

not really wanting to go out but got to do essentials along with bills, still very little help here, my partner had a stroke so basically with no family or friends i have no choice but to venture out be it only once every 2 days, i don't use my daily exercise as with caring i do enough from morning till what ever time. still feel very let down by the lack of any help, i even filled in the form on GOV and not a single letter.

Sitting here eating porridge with tv off, coverage of virus is overkill, going over same ground constantly, it kinda grinds you down eventually. Decided will catch up with lunch news & that's it, no more.

@mikeydt1 I didn't hit the 'like' key because it was hardly appropriate but I wanted to let you know that caring for your partner in the way that you do is to be highly applauded

I am going to attempt to do some exercise by using YouTube of Joe Wicks. Need to do some as not been running in 3 weeks as nervous to leave the house, but don't want to risk putting back all the weight I lost last year. Hoping it might improve my mood a bit.

Hope you are all doing well.

Good tip - thanks. Not sure we have any of the right paint at home but will give it a try if I can get hold of some.

If you can get hold of it, Zinsser B-I-N is a fantastic product that will do the job perfectly.

I know that it is taking time for the systems to clear the volunteers to enable them to come on stream to help people. I hope that you get the help you need soon.

I had a good walk yesterday to pick up my prescription, so it was a two in one, everyone at last seems to understand social distancing. Made a “comedy” ( I use the word very loosely) video for our daughter for her birthday and posted it on Facebook, it seemed to go down well. I might have a new career in the offing! More daily musings on my FB blog. I thought I would run out of things to say but I’m on day 16 and I’m still spouting rubbish to the world! It keeps me out of mischief anyways! Today holds much of the same, apart from the video. Eat, walk, sleep, repeat. 🙂

Today the sunshine is tempting me out, but first I need to get a card made for OH for our 40th anniversary tomorrow. We are competing to see who can make the cheesiest card for each other.

Then some gardening, and perhaps making use of the hammock.

Not too bad today. Family over the road have just dropped off some cakes that the kids help to make. They knocked and left them on a flower pot and went back up the path to wave at us.

Went for a long walk around some unexplored roads in my neighbourhood. Sunny and peaceful and I found a hedge that’s trying to colour co-ordinate with a post box!

 

[SB2015]

Day 15 and I spent it sifting through boxes of our sons' 6th form stuff, which they'd packed away in the garage after their A-levels. When our recycling is collected on Monday there'll be a lot of paper in it. Managed to salvage some ring binders.

Sun came out late morning and it turned out to be a lovely afternoon. Wife and I sat in the garden with a cuppa and just enjoyed the sunshine. Planning a short walk together later for some exercise.

One of our neighbours has visitors. Which bit of Stay At Home do they not understand?

When I found my university notes in a clear out, the only thing I recognised was my writing. Nothing in it made any sense. I must have understood it at one time!!!! They went in the bin.

Glad you enjoyed some sunshine.

Off for our after dinner walk.

Ha! I have all my son's university notes in the house. Including Maths for engineering! Looking at them, I doubt whether he could even recognise his own writing, let alone understand the concepts!
