Boring!

Several people got in touch after reading yesterdays blog..... if I seemed miserable I aplogise...I am fine. I wish these times were different but I can live with how things are now. And I do know how fortunate I am. If there are things in my life I could change and choose not to then thats my choice! Life is still good. I have a lot to be grateful for. And I am. Last year I decided that as I was no longer going off on cruises I had better find something else to do. None of that really worked. Staying in the local hotels felt wrong...and I didnt really get on with the other guests. So this year I shall stay here...and enjoy the space! Going out for the odd meal is still possible and I will do that sometimes but just now being at home on my own feels like the right thing to do. I have friends who ring me to talk...some live close enough to visit. I must try to get out more! Every week I start my car and let it run for a little while so thst I know I can get out when I want to. But oddly I dont often want to. I am perfectly happy here. On my own! And I am safe. People tell me that there are now cases of the virus nearbye...brought by the visitors...so its safer to stay put. So thats what I shall do...and I am sorry if thats boring... but its the best I can do just now!

Just keep going as you are. You are doing really well. At our age it
is so difficult, especially when you are on your own, as I am also.
Take care.

Good morning Jean.
Do what you feel comfortable with. Yes, the virus is around still, and it will be for a while yet. So venture out to where you feel safe. Perhaps meet up with friends for lunch outside somewhere, or a short drive to another village?.
I appreciate that the popularity of your beautiful part of the country may mean the roads and cafes may be busier than you are comfortable with though. So perhaps staying put is still the right thing! 😊
Take care

I Don't think that yesterdays blog was miserable, I thought it was quite upbeat. People draw conclusions from their own situations, perhaps they should try looking in the mirror.

You are doing what you want, by your own choice, not dictated by anyone else.

Long may that continue.
