I ordered fabric to make face masks just yesterday Unescorted. I have quite a stash of Christmas fabrics but not so much of non-festive stuff 
and I wanted something that the DCs might willingly wear too. Also wasn’t sure that random repurposed clothes would necessarily be suitable as they say it should ideally be a close woven fabric, like quilting cotton. What pattern are you following and are you putting any liner /filter in yours? I was concerned that face coverings would be mandatory and DS’s (likely) refusal would stop him going back to school, but they seem to exempt those who can’t manage them independently. I think it would be discriminatory if people with sensory disorders had to wear them at all costs. But just in case I ordered some space-themed fabric he might like. And some cheery stuff for DD. and some Dr Who fabric for my lovely friend down the road . And elastic. It won’t arrive for a week or so though.
I also ordered some naice yarn. I finished a big project yesterday so while I still have a huge stash, on the basis of one out, one in, I’m in balance 
. Someone asked a while back whether anyone has bought treat stuff since lockdown. I’ve only bought yarn but I’ve bought a few projects’ worth of posh expensive hand-dyed yarn. Am knitting a bit more though and really enjoying it so I’m not sorry!
My work laptop has been a nightmare today. I have a faulty keyboard and while it was just skipping letters it wasn’t too bad (I just plugged in an external Keyboard). However, it has now started spontaneously typing huge strings of the letter v in every field, which is making it impossible to write, or even log in to some applications. I’ve been swearing like a trouper today. As it’s a hardware problem I’ve got to go into the office tomorrow or Wednesday so IT can look at it. I am really not keen to go on the tube but don’t think I can park anywhere handy in central London so it can’t really be avoided 
I can’t remember when I last posted! Someone asked about the street party - it was fun, and very civilised (no boundaries breached!) and the Dcs seemed to really enjoy the change of scene - to the front garden and unlimited cake . We’re still eating scones, shortbread and cupcakes now... I must get on the diet wagon though and at least get back to where I was last year. Camden, will you be my buddy? Perhaps we can inspire each other?
Wolf I can’t believe you are reading so much! Your house is properly clean and you can still read! I am missing my cleaner a lot but also really enjoying not worrying about people coming into the house from god-knows-where. I’d actually rather clean it myself, for the time being, and at least know where we’ve all been! The last week before lockdown when we still had 3 builders and the cleaner in and out were very stressful. It’ll be a while before I want people in the house who go to lots of other houses, tbh. At least until we’re all out at school /work anyway. Bit galling that I’m still paying her though, and my house is not great! I did finally get round to mopping the downstairs yesterday... and broke the mop!
Bummer about Mexico Em
Bit disappointed there was no clear roadmap in Boris’s plan as to when extended families can see each other again. I’m so sad for my poor mum on her own. And gosh, I wish DS was in Year 1 still!
I have to put away 6 loads of washing now 😫😫😫. Fortified by a really nice slow cooker chicken, sweet potato and coconut curry 😋
