I find it hard to believe that 4 weeks in Lockdown has passed already. We went out in the car today for the first time since Lockdown began. We drove to the surgery where a nurse and her assistant were waiting at the door - a drive through for vaccinations. A car in front of us - must have been just one person then our turn. We had our flu vaccinations sitting in the car. We didn't know the nurse but knew the Health Care Assistant well so caught up on news. We then went to the garage to fill up with petrol and were surprised to see that they had red Kiwifruit for sale so bought some of them as well.
It is a lovely sunny day today and I did three loads of washing which should be dry by now. The forecast had been back to rain tomorrow but I just checked and there is no rain in the ten day forecast. Thank goodness for what we got yesterday.
Doug has just gone out again to pick up some more wheat and slug bait. It is pre-ordered by phone, paid for by credit card and then can be picked up between 3 and 4 p.m.
We have been out once as well, to our GP for the same jab in the arm. Funny, it was quite exciting to be out, the only time since 17th March, a record for sure.
ReplyDeleteIt felt odd being out. There was more traffic than I expected. I felt as though I just wanted to get back to my bubble - it was weird.
DeleteIt's now 37 days since I went anywhere except on foot or bicycle and it should be a good while till I travel anywhere again. Keep safe and take care.
ReplyDeleteIt is a whole new world isn't it. In many ways it is for the better. Families walking together and playing together, Neighbours looking out for each other.
DeleteI hope you caught up on the news two metres away from each other!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, we were in our car and, apart from getting closer to give the vaccinations, we were our required 2 metres apart.
DeleteIt’s a good feeling just to go somewhere, stay safe.
ReplyDeleteYes, but I was happy to get back to my bubble.
