I did go to my friend's last week for coffee but I took my own and we sat outside,don't think we will do that today as it's raining .hope your roof is fixed now and the problem is solved ,have still not heard off the man who is supposed to be doing my windows will have to contact him again if he doesn't ring me .have heard off bill who runs the dementia group they have stopped then for the time being thought they would it's better that everyone safe  than to keep it open and risk people getting the virus still feeding my hedgehogs at night not sure when they will hibernate can't be long now will miss feeding them as it's nice seeing them pottering about looking for food ,think I might be going out Sunday for dinner with my son to a local pub we went a coupon of week ago and it was very safe with everyone obeying the rules have a lovely week take care stay safe regards Syl x

Hi Syl,

Hope your weekend was ok and you that you and your son managed to get out for your Sunday meal. I do not eat out much these days and it is one of the things I miss as hubby and I liked to have visits to local restaurants a couple of times a month. When the children/grandchildren visit we do occasionally have home delivery which gives me a break from the cooking  (always appreciated ha ha).  Weather has certainly been cutting short some of my walks and so having to exercise indoors.  Gym open so went yesterday and booked in twice more this week.  Today have the roofers replacing my kitchen roof and was a beautiful sunny start though chilly.  They left for a short lunch break about 15mins ago and it is now raining so not sure how much they will get done this afternoon though they had hoped to finish it!

As far as the Covid rules are concerned our Council website keeps up to date with the guidelines and this makes it easy to follow as and when circumstances change.  Sadly it does look like it will be a disrupted winter but thankfully I am able to go out and shop for myself as and when necessary and providing I stay socially distanced can enjoy the company of friends on some of my walks.  I have just ordered a new pair a waterproof, lightweight boots as wellingtons are not that comfy for long walks.  Take care and stay safe.  Best regards. Jules x

How lovely that you have the hedgehogs visiting and think they normally hibernate mid November to December depending on how cold it gets.  Had our first light frost this morning but still have quite a bit of colour in the garden.

Hi Jules ,my son and I did go out for Sunday roast it was lovely there wasn't many in as we booked for 12 30  so it was a nice time to go think this Sunday my daughter is doing a Sunday dinner as she hasn't done one for a couple of week, last Saturday my daughter took me to a garden centre called bents it a massive place they sell alsorts we had a walk round my daughter bought some plants for her hanging baskets we then booked a table in the cafe for coffee and something to eat really enjoyed it it's nice to do something different for a change, I'm afraid we are now in tier 3 with covid  deaths going up in the local hospital and quite a few people  being admitted  with it it's frightening really as a lot of the country are  now going into tier 3 . weather not good here have had a lot of rain not had George out today as it's not stopped raining all day,glad your roof is getting done that's one thing less to worry about especially with winter on its way, I also miss going out with hubby for something to eat we loved going out for lunch to our local pub sometimes we would have our tea out on a Saturday as well something I miss .fed the hedgehog s again tonight  don't think it will be long now before they hibernate it's usually about November but don't think it's cold enough yet have a lovely week stay safe regards Syl x

Hi Syl,

Nice that you were able to get out for a meal with your son and also that your daughter will be cooking a roast.  You must be so grateful that they are close enough to see them fairly regularly. 

I have continued to walk come rain or shine (few changes of clothes along the way ha ha).  Plenty of autumnal photos to add to the growing 'lockdown collection' but my online followers seem to appreciate my daily walk updates as they cannot all get out and about and with another full lockdown looming I hope to be able to keep on walking.  The gym closes again on Thursday but will once again provide sessions online so not all bad news.

My daughter in law is doing a socially distanced drop off this afternoon so that family birthday gifts can be passed on.  Both her and my eldest grandson have birthdays this month so will not be able to celebrate in the normal way.  As part of my daughter's bubble this time round I will at least get to see them once or twice hopefully.  The most important thing is to protect those around us and our wonderful health service.

Very windy for my walk this morning but thankfully dry and mild.  Apparently cooler weather forecast so may have to put the fire on.  Seems to be strange to not need it yet and even managed to mow the lawn for probably the last time. Goodness knows what our husbands would have made of everything that is going on.  My hubby would not have liked to have been kept at home that's for sure; he loved his job so much and was shattered when his health meant he had to give it up and could no longer travel  in the course of his work.  All seems a long while ago now but then on other days, just as if it were yesterday.  Still onwards and upwards and doing him proud I hope.

Take care and stay safe.  Wishing you a pleasant weekend.  I am hoping it will be a dry one so can potter outside.  Best regards.  Jules x

Hi Jules, just had George out nice day here dispite all the rain we had during the week nice day tomorrow then back to rain.glad your keeping up with your walks  it is nice to get out especially in these awful times were all in lockdown now my daughter has been furloughed again till at least 2 of December,but my son is still working from home haven't seen my friend's now for a couple of week we txt one another but it's not the same as talking face to face .I don't know what my hubby would have thought of it all either I have a feeling he wouldn't have abided by the rules he because he had his own garage e would have carried on as usual .I know how you feel about things feeling like yesterday and sometimes they feel like a life time ago we must all have the same feeling when we lose someone we love . I have had to come off the tablets I was on for my knee pain as they can cause problems for your kidneys so I'm on cocodamol and voltarol cream at the moment I'm in agony as soon as I get out of bed  for at least 30 minutes with the pain it's awful then it starts to ache,I'm not sure if I can continue with the pain  will have ring the drs again it it continues. not sure what I'm doing at the weekend not that we can do much at the moment lol  enjoy your week stay safe  regards Syl x

Hi Syl,

Mild and dry here but had to stay in to take in some of my ' Christmas shopping.  Having said that I managed 2hrs of gardening and was able to leave the patio doors open.  Very lucky for this time of year.  A walk planned with a friend later in the week and my daughter and the boys popping down to do our 'bubble visit' at the weekend so looking forward to some company.

I do find the Volterol gel works very well on my hip  and so easy to use.  I was told to keep up the exercise as much as possible and still manage the occasional 8mile stroll but mainly between 3 and 5 miles several times a week.  Long may that last as loving the Autumnal colour.  Online gym sessions three times a week whilst in lockdown again but thankful for my exercise slots outside as love the fresh air and taking my camera to record day to day.  Garden birds have been busy stripping my hawthorn of berries and I have just taken the next couple of months delivery of bulk wild bird feed so that should keep them happy as the weather is bound to cool down eventually.

Did my supermarket shop for the next fortnight on Monday and was back home by 9 a.m.  Very quiet and have found this is the best day to go at the moment.  Just heard that at my old workplace all but 3 staff have been placed on furlough though how three people can cope with a two floor store I don't know.  Pretty pleased that I no longer have the stress of working that's for sure.

Finished a book today so will sort out another from my secondhand pile (came via my daughter;s neighbour who was having a clear out and as nearly all crime or thrillers right up my street).

Hope you had a reasonable weekend given the circumstances and that perhaps you have some plans for the coming one.  Being able to spend time gardening has helped the time pass quite nicely.  Stay safe and if that pain gets too much it sounds as though a call to the docs would be sensible.

Take care.  Jules x

Hi Jules,glad you have been doing a bit of Christmas shopping and keeping up with your exercise classes even if there on line have managed to do my lawn today ,think it might be the last cut now till spring the green bins stop at the end of the month and don't start again till march I think.  I'm glad your still enjoying your walks weather permitting it is nice to get out in the fresh air especially while we're all still in lockdown . my daughter did a lovely Sunday dinner last Sunday not sure what is happening this weekend I have a feeling we might be seeing to our selves this week, how is your roof is it ok now ? I am having my windows done at the end of the month ,he came last week to measure them I'm not having them all done just the front ones,and my pateo doors at the back hopefully it will be done over the weekend .I rang the drs again Monday about the pain in my knee she has put me on a stronger dose of cocodamol hope these work as I don't know what the next step is the trouble is you can't even see a Dr at the moment  because of this virus.havnt heard anything about my friendship group think it will be next year before we start up again have spoke to a few of them every one seems to be ok at the moment seems a long time  since I saw any of them let's hope things are different next year if this vaccine works have a lovely week with you family stay safe regards syl x

Hi Syl,

You were very lucky to get another mowing in.  My grass is far too soggy so it will no doubt be Spring before we know it and it will be lush for the winter season!

Have continued with my daily walks and managed a couple of socially distanced walks too  so not bad at all.  Camera being kept busy and many of my on line clubs are seeing the results.  One of them was set up during the first lockdown and they are  now releasing a calendar for next year which I shall buy as a memory of new 'virtual friends' made during these strange times.

Hope the new painkillers help you manage the painful knee.  Our GP has been open throughout and though I have not needed to attend I know they are seeing patients when it is absolutely necessary and clinics have continued.

My daughter and the two boys popped down on Saturday for the day and it was lovely to see them.  All being well I will go up for my eldest grandson's birthday at the end of the month.  However there has been a death in my son in law'sfamily and I may need to have the boys whilst they attend the funeral so am on stand by.  Date to be confirmed as have to await results of post mortem.  Not the easiest of times.

No plans for the coming weekend but will definitely go walking locally so my exercise routine continues.  Take good care of yourself and hope you will have a good week.  Jules x

Hi Jules ,glad your still going out and enjoying your walks and taking photos of the wild life . haven't seen my hedgehogs for a few weeks now I hope there cuddled up nice and warm  some where under a pile of leaves. Have managed to take George out all week as I'm emailing you it's raining so will have to hope it stops so I can take him out later,it's sad when there is a death in the family especially with the virus as there is only so many that can go to the funeral ,so much sadness in the world at the moment. I haven't seen my friend's for a while I miss the company and chatting face to face it's not the same when you talk on the phone .I booked a private consultation with a specialist at a private hospital near me about my knee he told me to carry on with the cream which I should put on in a morning before I get up and take paracetamol instead of cocodamol if the pain  gets unbearable I can have a cortisone injection will try doing that fingers crossed it  it will ease it before I get out of bed ,not sure what's happening at weekend don't think the weather is good  stay safe regards Syl x

Hi Syl,

To  be honest I think it is only being able to get out each day for walks that makes the current situation more bearable.  It is a bit of a struggle to keep my weight down as food is also a comfort.

Luckily so far have been out every day this week and th camera is a constant companion even if I am just walking along the streets.  Very lucky to have a variety of parks locally so try and take a diferent route each day.

Already seeing houses decorated for the Christmas season ahead but I will not being doing anything much as should be away.  I only get a real tree if I am entertaining so will save on this expense this year.

There have been a couple of chilly nights here so perhaps your hedgehogs have started their hibernation and hopefully you will see them again in the Spring.

I am lucky to still be seeing a few friends for one to one socially distanced walks and usually have a couple of catch ups a week.  Another booked for tomorrow and then seeing daughter and family at the weekend.  You are right that it is so much nicer face to face and somehow the conversation flows more easily too.  If  you are online chat or on the phone you always remember something once you say goodbye!

I am pleased you managed to get some advice re the knee pain and do hope that the recommendations will make it a little easier for you.  My hip pain is variable but do fine the pain relief gel works quite well at the moment and I do not always need it every day.

Hope you had a good weekend and that the coming week goes well for you.  Take care of yourself and fingers crossed the weather holds so  you and George can enjoy your walks.  Stay safe. Jules x

Hi Jules,just came back from a lovely walk with my son and his dog went to a place called spike island it's only 10 minutes drive  from where we are it is at the side of the river Jersey and you can see the new Runcorn bridge it also has a canal that is full of swans ducks geese and pidgeons ,I took somebird food with me so they all had a good  feed there is a cafe there that was closed years ago but was pleased to see it open again so we sat outside and had a coffee,came home and took George out for his walk luckily the weather is not bad today  bit cold but at least it's dry.i know what you mean about decorations both my neibours have got decorations up I haven't had a tree up since hubby died it's not the same now especially since I haven't got grandchildren. think I am at my son's for Xmas  with my daughter and her partner not sure if he wants me to stay over will see what's happening nearer the time.hope you enjoy time with your daughter and family it is nice to spend time with loved ones we are it tier 2 next week so I can have coffee with my friend but only outside very complicated with everyone in different tiers I'm hoping the weather ok at the weekend as I am having my windows done not all of them just my front ones and my pateo doors as well he is going to finish off Sunday .my knee hasn't been to bad this week what I have to do is take a cocodamol when I wake up about 6  rub some voltarol on my knee  then do some leg stretches before I get out of bed at 7 I can't believe I have to do all that before I get up but I don't mind if it stops that awful pain not sure what I'm doing  for Sunday lunch this week have a nice week stay safe regards Syl x

Hi Syl,

Your walk to spike island sounded lovely and nothing like a walk with family and nature to help how you feel.  I really should put some wild bird food in my bag/pocket when I go on my walks. Often thing to do it and nearly always forget!!

Our road has put notices up stating that people could decorate outside for Christmas and that they will have a 'ringing of bells' on the doorstep on Christmas Eve as part of the community spirit which has grown throughout the covid lockdowns this year.    As much as I love all things Christmas, as did my hubby, I do not decorate outiside (though have lights in my little back garden tree.  I wont be at  home for the bell ringing either so will have to let them know in case they think I am being miserable.

My daughter picked me up and the weekend and I spent time with them celebrating my eldest grandson'sbirthday.  Special treat of a takeaway  meal on Saturday night and then on the Sunday we had a lovely long walk which also let the boys and my son in law take out their large model off road cars for lots of fun and it created quite a  lot of remarks as people walked past.  I took loads of pictures to put on my social page and also had some family shots as we passed my camera around to capture some memories.  We also had another walk taking their dog out.  All this and then topped off with birthday cake before I headed home.   I will see them on Thursday as am having boys and dog whilst daughter and son in law go to family funeral and then the next time will be for my Christmas break.

No rain here over the weekend so hope it was the same for you and that your windows/patio door replacement went will.  Bet they look lovely.  I had the ground floor windows done 5 years ago and hope to get the next level done next Spring(at least they will match then!!).

Glad you have a regime for helping with the knee pain and hope it works well for you.  Better to start the day without pain if you can.  Take care, stay safe and all the best for the coming week.

Best regards. Jules.x

Hi Jules, what a lovely thing to do with your neighbors  ringing bells  even though your not there are you staying at one of the kids over Xmas ? .I have just had George out it's cold but at least it's dry even though it's rained this morning just thinking what I can have for my dinner now .bet you had a lovely time at your grandsons birthday especially having a take away meal it's nice to do something different for a change  it's nice to get out in the fresh air as well I don't know what I would do if I couldn't take George out for his walk. I have got a hospital phone call on Monday it's only for a check up to see how my COPD  is doing ,then on the 16 of December I have to go to the hospital  for a earing check it's good there keeping a check on people , I haven't had my windows done yet I got the dates wrong it's this weekend 5 th was so disappointed  hope the weather is ok so they can make a start they are going to finish Sunday .I'm doing my own dinner this Sunday as my son is seeing his partner and my daughter and her partner are having Sunday lunch at a local pub haven't ventured into town yet or been on a bus even though I would love to im a bit apprehensive at the moment  will see how it goes in a couple  of weeks have a lovely week stay safe regards Syl x

Hi Syl,

I think the Christmas Eve bell ringing idea is aimed at being nationwide and have heard about in on the tv and on social media too. Another round of well deserved thanks to all those serving our community on the front line and the scientists for bring some hope in the way of a vaccine.

I hope to be with my daughter, son in law and the two eldest grandchildren for the festive season as we have a social bubble.  We all need to stay well and hope the weather allows easy travel! I also had a good weekend with them to enjoy the low key 12th birthday celebrations.

Foggy and frosty this morning and had to break the ice on the birds water baths.  Still getting out most days but today I am waiting in for a delivery and then having a zoom meeting booked for this afternoon so apart from a trip to the letter box am based indoors.  Always seems to make the day longer when I do not get out for a few hours.  Back at the gym tomorrow and then hoping for a bit of sunshine to do some more photography.

I have steered clear of the main town shops as expect it is pretty busy with Christmas shoppers and glad all mine is done.  My next trip in will probably be the week before Christmas as have to go for my Mammogram so hope to tie this in with a catch up with a friend (preferably over lunch if possible) and we can exchange our gifts too.

Stay safe and well.  Jules x

Hi Jules just come in from taking George out nice and sunny this morning awful week though rain and dull most of the time ,we have had nothing but rain latley everyone you talk to is fed up with the weather and of course the covid I haven't been to my local town either as my friend has been ,she said it was packed with Christmas shoppers ,it's not worth the risk at the moment even though I would love to go and have a walk round the shops, I had my phone call from the hospital they just asked how I was doing with my COPD there going to send me some leaflets about the latest treatments and useful phone numbers,I'm at the hospital Wednesday for a hearing check my son is going to drop me off but I will get the bus back will be weird getting on a bus won't know what to do it's been that long since I was on one glad your still enjoying the gym our swimming baths is still not open I've got a feeling it won't open again as it what s modernising that means my friendship group will have to find somewhere else as well glad your meeting a friend for lunch it's nice to meet people for a catch up . hopefully my windows will be finished tomorrow Saturday they couldn't finish them last week as they had trouble fitting my front one last week by the time it was done it was going dark so they had to leave the rest,I'm keeping my fingers crossed it will all be done tomorrow,I have done most of my shopping now posted my cards just got to deliver my neighborhood now my son doing Sunday dinner this week . enjoy your week stay safe regards Syl x

Hi Syl,

Weather has been pretty gloomy here the past few days and though I have still been out for walks they cannot be quite so long and I miss being able to enjoy outside space.  Still have grabbd sunny intervals when I can and the garden has seen a bit of attention despite the soggy lawn!!  On the plus side it is milder so not so many layers needed.  We go into Tier 3 today so Christmas meet up with my friend next week will be brief, conducted in the park instead over over a glass of something nice, so a little disappointing but it is what it is and we are grown up and sensible.  I will still have to go into town on Monday as have my Mammogram appointment to attend.

Hope your hearing appointment goes well and glad the hospital has been in touch regarding possible treatments to help your COPD.  We had some family news reach us from the Isle of Man during the last week and my brother in law's wife has just been diagnosed with breast cancer.  Unfortunately she had not bothered to attend her last mammogram appointment lwhich may have given an earlier warning.  She found a lump and eventually went to the doctors when obviously she was fast tracked and the scan/biopsy shows two largish lumps .  She is now awaiting to hear what treatment programme wil lbe followed with both chemo and masectomy possibilities but was good to know there was no spread to lymph glands so far. 

Our gym continues as allowed to stay open  and with great cleaning regimens and restricted numbers (and now masks being worn where possible) I am attending three times a week as before right up until 22nd.  Certainly find it helps the joints to keep active and have not been having to take painkillers for the last few weeks which is great.

On Monday had my hair cut and highlights popped in to cheer myself up for the festive season and last week also joined in Christmas jumper day for a local homeless charity arranged through the gym.

I just now need to make arrangements to socially distance meet up with my son and family  which we hope to do at the local farmer's market/artisan fair this weekend.  They have a one way system in place and masks are worn with numbers restricted.  The last one ran so well and everyone obeyed the rules which makes it good for everyone.Just have to cross fingers for the weather so we are not huddled under brollys.

Well it is just gone 8 a.m. so am going out to feed the birds and top up their water and then hope to get out before the promised rain arrives.  Essential shopping to do for the  last time before Christmas.

Hope you and the family can make the most of the Christmas period and spend some time together. Stay safe and take care.  Jules x

Hi Jules the weather here pretty gloomy as well had a lot of rain my back lawn is sodden and quite muddy hope it drys out otherwise I will be walking in mud to feed the birds .had my appointment at the hospital just did a hearing test which was ok then I had to see the specialist he srinched my right ear so he could look at my ear drum don't need to go back now for 6 month,my son dropped me off so caught the bus into town went spec savers for batteries for my hearing aid had a walk round the market while I was there had a coffee then caught the bus back it felt lovely to do something normal for a change.tomorrow Saturday I am going to a Christmas market in a car park at a local pub with a few of my friend's hopefully everyone will social distance (but I have my doubts ) will have to see what happens.i know how you feel about having your haircut I had mine done last week with my colour  added as well at least if we go into another lock down after Christmas we will look nice for it lol.hope you enjoyed the Christmas market with your son I love walking round the market s especially at this time of year unfortunately most have been cancelled where I live but it's the safest thing to do for now one of my friend's is undergoing treatment for breast cancer she had a sore breast for a few weeks  went for a test and they found a lump on the other side of where it was sore so you never know  till you get checked she has got to have 5 days of chemo then they think she will be clear I am going to ring her later to see how she is doing.have booked a Sunday dinner at our local pub think we are going to book for boxing Day as well not sure yet have a lovely week stay safe regards Syl x

Hi Syl,

Just thought I would send best wishes for Christmas before I join my 'bubble'.  Unfortunately with the new Tier 4 I wont be able to see all the family but very grateful to be able to see some of them and not be on my own.

Have kept away from the shops other than to pick up bread/milk etc and even though I had to go into town for my Mammogram yesterday there were not many people about and social distancing.mask hopefully helped.  A few doorstep drop-offs all managed safely and let's hope 2021 will  bring brighter news.

Managed a four mile walk this morning; dry and cloudy but some photographs to check through and post on my social media page for those that cannot be out and about so easily.  This helps keep me focussed and the foxes are still passing through the garden at night.  When I got home I was surprised to find a blackbird eating the ivy berries.  Have not had one in the garden for a very long time.

Stay safe, well and hope you enjoy time with your children over the festive period.  Jules x

Hi Jules thought I would send you a quick e mail before Christmas is on us  my brother in law and his wife are in tier 4as well at the moment I am in tier 2 so have done a bit of shopping only local think we are going into tier 3 next week,not looking good for all of us at the moment let's hope thing improve next year I am going to get a new TV in the new year as mine has broke fortunately my son had one in his bedroom so I'm using that also one of my bulbs bust in one of my wall lights so had to change that as well,put a reindeer in my window that I have had for years it's sentimental as we bought it years ago from Woolworths as I was putting it up the chair tipped up I went flying big broose on my arm and my leg ,it was only up 2days and the bulbs blew so now it doesn't work feel as if there is a gremlin in my electric hopefully things will be ok now as that is three things gone wrong going to take George out now have a lovely Christmas with your family  stay safe hope next year is better than 2020 all the best for 2021 Syl x

Hi Syl,

Hope you had a good Christmas.  Mine went well and caught up with both children and families, one in person and the other via zoom on the computer.  Thank goodness for technology.

Sorry to hear that you took a tumble; so easily done and hope the pain soon clears up.  Also hope the eletricity gremlins have departed and that your new TV will arrive in the New Year.

Now back to what has become normal routine with daily walks and housework.  Will be glad when I can get back into the garden again when the weather improves.  Already have spring bulbs sprouting but expect they will slow down now that it is  beginning to get a little chilly.  Some beautiful days over Christmas and we got out regularly to take the family dog on nice walks locally.  We also were able to take the boys to an exciting drive through Christmas experience at Silverstone which ended with a Drive in Movie.  It was great to forget the virus for a few days and enjoy the festivities.

Take care of yourself and wishing you all the very best for 2021..

Jules xx
