Diary of an Edinburgher

Social distancing Day 8

A busy day of exercises (JR) walkies (Archie, with Becky) and washing all the carpets and rugs (moi) with Christine's carpet machine. It was a nice breezy day to get the washing out and dried.

Had a chat with the neighbour while in the back garden, and mentioned we were getting low on tonic, but not desperate, and they appeared this afternoon with two big bottles! He mustn't have believed me when I said it wasn’t desperate.

I went on my bike in the afternoon, then I had a shower and just got into my jim-jams. It was only 2pm. Bad habits already, and this is only Day 8! The other bad habit is having a biscuit with my coffee - the choccie ones weren’t allowed, they were for 'visitors'. No need to bother with that now!

I'm not missing the gym at all. I have realised that the only thing I like there (as in, it's very tough) is the cross trainer, which I feel really does do some good. So I’ve just ordered a cross trainer/bike combined. So I’ll cancel my gym membership again. I think I’ll have to put it together, which could be a problem...

Here's JR and Archie doing their morning workout.

EDIT: Boris has just announced a lockdown!
