View west.

This was the view from my kitchen  window as I was cooking dinner tonight. How often I curse the houses blocking my view of beautiful sunsets.

Slow start today, but that’s okay these days, no hurry to get anywhere or do anything before rushing off to the next task! So many people on our usual ‘people free’ dog walk this morning, even with the biting wind!

Got some more tasks done round the house. Some windows cleaned and some cupboards cleared out. The poor dustmen are going to be busy with everyone having clear outs at this difficult time.

My girls seemed to have bounced back after a distressing day yesterday.

I have to say, for all the bad publicity social media gets at times, I’ve found it a Godsend. So many initiative posts from my very diverse friendship groups. Jodie posted a list of questions she asked Franky, the answers were both amusing and sobering. I may write them out sometime and add as I don’t seem able to add them as a photo.

Just for fun ... Ask your kids 16 questions ...
