Loo rolls left: one fewer than yesterday but still sufficient.

So into day four of lock-down UK. The first day that I didn’t have any work to do, that is because I don’t work on Fridays. So in theory, it shouldn’t have been any different from a normal Friday. However, I couldn’t go out for lunch. I also couldn’t meet up with my football friends to discuss tomorrow’s game. It was a bit different though.

As some people know Diane and I decided to get married about five weeks ago. We ordered our engagement ring the following week and were due to pick it up today. Obviously with things being as they are. we couldn’t travel down to Worthing to collect it. The jeweller sent it to us special delivery and it arrived before breakfast this morning. We are now officially engaged. It has been posted on Facebook, so it must be true.

In other news, Boris Johnston has tested positive for Covid-19. Boris Johnston is our Prime Minister, in case you had forgotten. The Health Secretary, Matt Hancock, has also tested positive. So it can happen to anyone.

Back to important things. We are planning to get married next summer (2021). We were supposed to go up to Scotland next week. We wanted to look at potential wedding venues. That obviously isn’t going to happen now. So we had a Zoom meeting, at lunchtime, with one of our prospective venues. we decided probably not. However, with the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had bought shares in Zoom last year.

After that we decided to take our daily exercise by walking up to the allotment. The allotment could be the most immaculate allotment in the history of allotments this year. We haven’t done a lot of planting yet. However, it is definitely looking better after a bonfire and some tidying up.

We also had a rather nice sunset.

We had a rather nice stir fry for supper, although we would rather have had an engagement party. That will have to wait.
