Remainer

Lucy took her birthday bouquet home with her yesterday, apart from this gerbera which remains in our kitchen. Its stalk had snapped in half, but it’s fine in a small vase!

Heard last night that an ex-colleague and friend had died earlier in the day after a short illness. Very very sad. In sombre mood this morning, and the flat suddenly seemed very empty with just me and MrM here. Likely to stay that way for the foreseeable future, with stricter (but idiotically illogical) Covid-19 restrictions in force from today here in NE England.

Anyway, decided  that the best way to keep the blues away is to keep busy, so that’s what I did. Lots of little things ticked off the ‘to do’ list, did some French Babbeling and exercised on the bike...
