Well with all the news about the virus and the fact that here in the UK the peak is between ten and fourteen weeks away, which takes it to the week of my Birthday in June!!!  It really does feel like the sky is falling!!  They are saying that 95% of people in the UK will get it which makes me wonder why we are bothering to read the news, you just may as well wait and see what happens!!!  Of course we as a family are doing everything we can not to get it but how far do you go? 

We already have had business meetings and exhibition’s cancelled or postponed and one big swimming event has been cancelled.  DH is out this weekend at another swimming event but we wonder if people will just not turn up.  I am due to go out with the Tangent Ladies on a river cruise on Saturday afternoon and I am due to go over to Nottingham in the morning, but you now start to second guess yourself as to whether you should be doing any of it!!!  I think you just have to take each day as it comes. 

The following weekend is Mother’s Day here in the UK and I have said to the Boys we will do something at home.  They have in the last few years taken me out for breakfast but this year we will stay in!

Anyway I have far more important things to worry about; like our toaster which has now decided to launch the toast into the air!  Sometimes Treacle is very lucky and it lands on the floor, however this morning it landed on the counter top!  Now can anyone tell me why this perfectly good toaster which has never done this before, is trying to be the first toaster to launch toast into outer space?  I mean really?

This week saw the Duke and Duchess of Sussex complete their final events as senior Royals and then the Duchess flew back to Canada.  There has been a lot written since their announcment over why they have left and we, as a country, are still being accused of being racist against the Duchess which I take great exception to.  Only they know the real reasons why but my personal view is that the Duchess has a view of what it was going to be like to be Royal and I don’t think it lived up to her expectations.  However I do wonder in a few years time whether they will come to regret their hasty decision like the Duke & Duchess of Windsor did!

March has definitely roared in this year, it was blowing a gale last night and lashing the windows with rain and we had some hail today!!!  Hopefully it will go out like a lamb at the end of the month!!! 

As you can tell from the picture above Treacle is really worried!!!!!!!!

As it is Thursday here is a #TBT from 2009!!!  Eldest is 13 and Youngest 9!!!  We were in London for the Easter school holiday and this was the Fire Power museum where they could dress up as well as tour the exhibits!!!  We had a great two weeks!!!

I hope wherever you are in the World you stay safe and healthy.

Hugs & Love Susie xx

Good grief it’s Monday already?!!!!  Where do the weekends go?  DH and I were supposed to go to the cinema on Friday evening but by the time everyone was back from work, Youngest walked in after a week away training with a suitcase full of washing and I had done dinner and the washing and ironing it was late!!!! 

Saturday morning we were due to go out and DH started a job putting a new disc in my computer which we use for business.  It was a five minute job which turned into two hours!!!!!!  We did go out eventually but didn’t get all the jobs done!!!  We went to our friends home for dinner in the evening and had a lovely time.

Sunday morning was actually sunny although cool but we managed to get out in the garden and do some tidying and also get everything put back.  Our neighbours had their conservatory replaced so needed to come around our side to do some of the work so we emptied our little shed and put everything in the Boys den.  So we swept the shed out and then put all the garden tools back in the shed and also had a tidy up as well.  To get all the tools out of the Boys den we had to get the patio furniture out so that is now out.  Normally we would not get it out this early but it is a good thing because if we get a nice warm day we can re-stain it all.  I will have a few pictures tomorrow hopefully!

Following on from our big attic tidy last year, DH and Youngest got Eldest’s memory boxes out for me to go through and tidy and get their memory books up to date.  Once I have done his Youngest’s will come out and I will sort them out as well.  Still have a few things to tidy up in the attic but it is so much better than it was.  The garage is an ongoing project especially as DH and the Boys are constantly putting things in it and re-arranging things!!!!  At the moment there is a car engine on a stand in the middle of the garage which both Boys are working on!!!!

Treacle enjoyed the morning outside!

We have a busy week with work but are having a day off on Thursday to go and see Girlfriend’s dog, Ralphy, who has got into Crufts!!!!  So I will be taking my camera and will have pictures to show you. 

I hope you are having a good Monday and a great week.

Hugs, Susie xx
