    Not commuting to work has been great. A small thing I know.

    My commute has been cut in half, and it was a short enough commute to begin with! :pac:

    That's the best thing about the lockdown for me and I don't have an overly long commute but it just saves so much time to get stuff done around the house.

    Just noticed when thanking Freshpopcorns countdown post this morning that we're just a month away from being in the 100's on the countdown. Most years once we get into that stage the pace seems to quicken and before we know it we're into double digits... fingers crossed it happens again this year & we can move beyond this covid19 situation somewhat... I love the summer months & try to enjoy them as much as possible but must admit I'm already looking forward to autumn & winter now if it brings some semblance of normality with it.

    My newly planted grass got some rain last night too... happy days!

    The 100's is always a big milestone for me, love seeing a 1 first and then its a 9 first before we know it :)

    Have the last two weeks of August booked off, no idea what, if anything, we'll be able to do/go however even ifs staying at home will at least be no work. Will be the highlight of my summer by the look of it!!

    Roll on autumn......

    What a beautiful day. Smashing. Wine and beer cooling in the fridge, bbq ready to rock, looking like it could be a good day.

    Enjoy it if you can!
