What else can we do but keep on laughing....

The rising Omicron cases are nothing to laugh at. As expected, France has now closed it's borders to the UK due to our high number of cases and so that screws our plans yet again to go to Switzerland after Christmas as we drive through France. While Gavin, Xena and I were going to drive, the boys were flying, so technically are still able to go but it is looking too precarious now to plan to go away. I would hate to come down with Covid in a foreign country away from home.

Luke and Meriel came home last night from London so we had a full house today. As Luke had the car, I dropped Tommy off at the cinema this morning as he wanted to see the new MCU Spiderman movie and then I took Xena for a walk. In the meantime Luke had a dentist appointment then went to get his booster, while Gavin drove Meriel to get her booster at another venue. I was back in time for my second zoom session with Celia on the RPS workshop on Photoshop filters. It has been a great course and I have learned so much, and at least my PS knowledge is at a level where I could follow everything and can see myself using some of these applications. 

After my zoom workshop I had a late lunch and then went off to get some groceries. I also had to pick up a John Lewis click and collect order at Waitrose but when I went to get it they found that someone else had taken it....not sure how that happened as you have to show your ID to collect your order. They assured me they would track my order down and sort it for me, but I came home worried as I had no evidence that I had not collected the parcel myself, and if I went back tomorrow to follow up and another staff member was on duty, how would they believe me? Anyway, I should not have worried as one can trust the excellent service from John Lewis/Waitrose and they phoned me a short while ago to say they have located my order and I can come get it tomorrow.

Luke and Meriel have now returned home to London but before they left I asked for a quick photo of the young adults. Tommy was about to do some gym, and Inca had just returned from the stables, so it was very good of them to allow me to take this photo when they were not looking their glamorous best! And an extra of Meriel with Xena.

Today has been very busy so I have not had any time on Blip. Tomorrow afternoon we are going to Norfolk for the weekend and so I will spend the morning cooking food to take meals with us. I also need to pack so it will be another busy day.
