We often wondered what was taught nowadays as even the most basic general knowledge was sadly lacking. More days of nothing much. All days are the same at th moment. I went to a friend's barbecue with DIL and grandson the weekend before last. Only us and them so within thee rules . We did socially distance until my grandson pointed out we were all sitting around a picnic bench - oops! It made a welcome change. Last March we had to change our car. Our 11 year old fabia had had it. We got an insignia which is a lovely car but big and I do not have good all round vision. That wasn't a problem until I had to take over all the driving. I am now looking for a smaller car- preferably another fabia estate as I know I like that. I had the intention of looking when I came down here but lockdown stopped that. At home the nearest choice of garages is 100miles away. I have been watching the websites but estates are few and far between and there is not much movement. It is sales by appointment with social distancing or 'click and collect or home delivery. I have my eye on one and hope to go and see it at the weekend.

You can block people you don't know easily enough but when it turns out that people you know face to face have extreme views it is a bit of a shock. I don't mean views which differ from mine. Some Fugees hold views different from mine, not a problem. It is the sentimental yearning to get everything back to the 1940s when everything was allegedly perfect, from people who were not even born then which I find hard going. One birdwatcher who I see around and have always got along with, blamed an appalling alcohol-fuelled vandalism of a WW1 memorial by a group of young males on our too-liberal society for removing the distinction between men and women. No idea how he worked that one out!

Not much going on here. Or, if there is, we are not in on it as we are stuck in the house. The dog psychologist sorting Henry & May out has confirmed what we thought might happen. Henry and May should be permanently separated. May, as the younger, livelier one will be re-homed. The rescue are going to try and get Henry into a temporary foster home to get him out of kennels, even though they are great and he gets exercise and fun activities every day. However, as we are months away from being able to have him home we've said we won't stand in his way if the rescue decide re-homing is the best thing for him. They both deserve to be happy & settled after all they've been through. What's left of Ruby's hair has started falling out. Her next chemo sesh is next Wednesday.
