God it’s so fucking boring! What are people actually doing with their time?

I got up at 7am. Lounged on the couch until 9am. Took the dog for a walk, got back at 10am.

Since then I’ve hoovered up, polished and put a wash on. And it’s still not even 12pm 😩

Got up at 8:30, did the first run of couch to 5K with my partner who ran speedily ahead, made baked eggs with sweet potato and chorizo and spicy beans then got ready to go for a nice walk to an estate near us with huge grounds and a deer park. Came home to do some jobs in the garden (including putting up a washing line) then had a lovely bbq with a new bbq. Sat outside enjoying our food- highlights included buttery corn on the cob and a cheese burger. Finally watched Harry Potter (goblet of fire) whilst dipping strawberries in melted chocolate. All in all a very good day!

Work admin - a lot of us have to work to fund the NHS, furlough money and much else..... then one job for a client;' then tonight read ap aper a client sent for a call tomorrow. Also dug out a dead bush, planted out peas with my son and put up the pea netting and some other netting; cooked, short sunbathe when the sun was out and yoga. Daughter called twice so chat to her. Completed a form for someone in Saudi Arabia who wants to pay me - work thing, odd bits of cleaning. Lots of garden watering this morning. Emptied dishwasher.

I don't do a daily walk so only tend to g out once a week to the shop or when I have work travel which every other day or so tends to be post office stuff.

Lay in until 11 watching films with the kids, then breakfast, weekly cleaning. DH took the kids out cycling (I fell off the hammock yesterday and hurt my elbow so could not go 😪) so I had a run, cooked tea, and now watching movies with DH. All in all a nice mix of doing and relaxing Smile

@Majorcollywobble I am so lucky the beach is like a stones throw away! It's been such a life saver during lockdown with my two year old.
I do miss going to the woods though as that takes a train ride. Where you are sounds absolutely gorgeous Smile

Going to read a bit of book now.
