Crikey, it's been 10 days since my last post. Thanks so much for all the lovely (and amusing) comments 😂 I don't know where the days are going.
It's been a week since the start of the second lockdown and I think it's made me (us) lazy. I don't get out of bed until 8 to 8.30am then sip a leisurely cup of tea while I alternately read and gaze into the garden from my reading corner. Then breakfast around 9.15am, usually cereal with fruit and a dollop of yogurt. It's always 11am before I can even think about a shower and going out for a walk somewhere. G is worse than me. He is Candy Crushing as soon as he is up and has to be prodded to move his ass. Gosh, I must be so unfit and it can only get worse with Winter approaching. Just under 3 weeks of lockdown left to go...
One positive thing to happen is that we both managed to get an optician's appointment last week. I had my sight test in February this year and never managed to get any specs. On lockdown the store closed and never reopened (with my prescription locked inside the store!) Anyway, to cut a long story short I ordered new specs last Thursday and they arrived on Tuesday. Great!
Question...who is that old woman in the photo ?? 😏
G wasn't so lucky. He had an eye test and after further investigation the optician said he could see a little blood in the eye and has referred him back to the GP to test him for high blood pressure and / or diabetes. Anyway, he ordered some specs too but they arrived damaged and so he's still waiting. The poor chap is convinced that someone dropped a clog on him 😒
I also quickly discovered, whilst waiting for G to come back to the car, that during lockdown there are no TOILETS open, a fact that I'd forgotten and I needed a pee! The 30 minute drive home seemed a looooong way somehow.......
He has had an appointment come through to remove the carcenoma on 2nd December though so, at least, that will be one of us sorted. I'm still waiting.....
For years now I have been completing surveys on the Populouslive website and spotted this when I logged in. My name is Angela G!!.....
As luck would have it, it's not me ....I emailed them to check 😢
C'est la vie...
Stay safe everyone wherever in the world you happen to be x
I got all excited for you for a moment, so sorry it wasn't you. Love the new glasses.
ReplyDeleteThank you, MM x
DeleteYour glasses suit you so very well.
ReplyDeleteDang sorry that it wasn't you who won.
God bless.
Thank you, Jackie, the new glasses are so comfortable x
DeleteWhat a shame about the win, the money would have come in handy paying for the glasses as they're not cheap. Locally our toilets have stayed open this time.
ReplyDeleteIt would have covered the cost nicely Tania. Never mind. Oh lucky you to have toilets open! When you know there isn't one available you want to go all the more 😳
DeleteI am the same as you a long slow start each morning, with the daylight changing I see no rush to get up every day. I didn't see an old lady in your photo, I saw a fit person, who looks good, why does our bodies change so much when our minds stay the same.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the compliment Poppy! You're right...in our heads we feel the same as ever but the mirror shows the reality of getting older unfortunately.
DeleteI was having very slow starts but for this lock down I made us a plan and we've been a lot more focused and active.. hope your hubby's tests prove ok and his new glasses arrive soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris. Well done you for being positive this lockdown, I'm finding motivation elusive.
DeleteI think you look great! Glad to hear that you got your new spectacles. I have been getting by with the readers. I should order a couple more of the prescription ones, though. They make everything so clear.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Stephenie, yes our eyes are important and we need to look after them.
ReplyDelete"Question...who is that old woman in the photo ??"
ReplyDeleteWhat old woman? I see a young smiling woman!
Thank you Sandi, you are very kind 😊 x
DeleteLove the new glasses, they really suit you.
ReplyDeleteI think the 'old woman' in the photo is you ... but I have no idea who the old woman is in my bathroom mirror every morning, my goodness she looks rough some days!!
Thanks Sue 🤣😂🤣
