Dull?
On waking early yet again I was startled to find that it was Sunday. I am now listening to the Archbishop of Canterbury on the radio. His voice has cheered me. In this strange time of no church the words and music are a wonderful comfort. And I have to admit that I have been low lately. Today I hope to speak to people on the phone. I am finding a world without people in it strange and sometimes frightening. I know I am safe here in my own home but next week I will need to go out to get some food. In this strange world I have failed to do a food shop on the internet so I can only hope my car starts when I need it to. Its the first time I think that I am worrying about having enough to eat and drink. Actually the alcohol has lasted very well. I obviously either over ordered or I am not drinking as much as I thought!
Up here in the group of four homes three of the houses are being lived in right now so if I got desperate there are people about if I need them. As you can probably tell life has started to be a bit of a struggle. But nothing I cant cope with. Although the weather forcast for yesterday was dreadful it was still possible to walk my garden. Only occasionally though do I see people on the coastal path outside.....my world has shrunk. So I am trying to stay positive and not to get too miserable. Or dull. Dull! Oh dear I do hope not!

You?
Dull?
NEVER.
Stay safe and well.
Here's to a better 2021 for us all.
Thanks for that Bob...I am feeling dull right now so perhaps I had better gett out of my bed!
In these difficult times many of us feel that our get upand go has got up and went.
It's hopefully just having a winter break and will be back in the spring.

Good morning Jean. It was good to hear the Archbishop of Canterbury wasn’t it.
Even though you may not see many people you can make phone calls and don’t forget your Blog. There are a number of us who look forward to reading it!
Keep safe 😊
Dull, never. Challenging, always.
Your life is so different from so many of ours, it makes it interesting and when we know, you are living in one of the most beautiful parts of Cornwall, makes us a bit nostalgic for those times we have been there. I was stationed in Plymouth with the Army in the late sixties and early seventies, and Cornwall was our Exercise place, also a location for challenging training, sailing and just general pleasure trips.
Many years later, I and my new wife stayed in Cornwall near Truro for a two week period and visited as many of the sites I remember from my Army Days. She also had memories of Newquay from frequent trips there for training in her own Army Career.
Wonderful place to live, work or play.
