I don't know where we're going, but I know where I am (part 9)

At times like this (ie - morning time) that I wish I was a morning person.

Its like I wake up with the black dog and it takes a few hours to shoo him away and allow my normal winning personality to shine through.

Kitchenside with tea and a slice of lemon drizzle cake.
My temperature is back again, feel a bit odd.
Bas**** bank charges have gone out. So preoccupied with the dog I forgot what date we were on. No chance of them giving us all a month off, then!

Noticed it's dried up a lot around here. I had to double water the garden and pots yesterday. It's really feeling summery.

Coffee: The 1st time I drink a new brand, or have it at a friend's, I take 1/2 a tsp of sugar in it. It doesn't ruin it it just eases me into what's usually strong coffee.
Then again I'm someone who thought Prontissimo instant wasnt that bad...

That's lousy, I'm sorry.
I sometimes get that in the afternoon. Could be a lovely sunny day but around 4pm I feel crap anyway. Strange thing is, my nan hated that time of day, too.

I am a morning person, I love a fresh new morning. Someone once said I get up "suspiciously" early in summer.

Jesus I am bored. When will the entertainment be turning up?

Today I am doing NOTHING! Officially, my task for today is NOTHING.I won't be making lists in my head for jobs that need doing and then beating myself up for not doing them. NO. Getting me and Dad and the cats fed and cleaning up after that is ALL I'm doing today. Reading and Netflix and flights of dubious fancy. At least I won't feel guilty at the end of her day.

Guess who has a porridge bread and another curnie cake in the oven... I don't stress bake, *you* stressbake! Turns out my iCloud/iMovie/iPhone syncy thing isn't working and nothing has been backed up yet everything is full. I knew there was a reason I did not like Apple...

And congratulations to you Seph, I missed your post about your new niece yesterday, happy days.
Just had two fried eggs in a sandwich for lunch, tasty.
Scouring about today looking for a few bits I need online, so far all are still available and being dispatched, so it's not the end of the world yet .
It's a nice day out, but chilly and we have had a couple of light short showers.
We are relaxing today, feet up, me with my head stuck in the phone, her with a book, no chat, just the odd occasional smile at each other and taking turns making the tea.
In other times this would be bliss, but a sort of grudging recognition of necessity now.

Desk-side in the office/sitting room, absolutely failing to get work done and with zero concentration.
Day 19 of full quarantine here (I've decided I hate the term "social isolation"). I am now totally tired of talking to people through windows/doors/screens - just to be in the same room as someone would be nice. And I want to cook - I'm in a little granny flat/annex thing on the back of the house that my great-granny used to live in, and it has a lovely little bedroom and living area but only a kettle and camping stove, so my da's dropping food just outside the door for me. I'm already planning a very elaborate meal that I'm going to spend a full day cooking when this is over.
