Thank you, he says since he can't work. He is going over to where his boat is dry docked and start waxing it. The boat has a generator, so he has now decided to quarantine there.
That's kinda neat. It probably is better if you can stay a bit active through it. Even if it's hard. Not too much but some. I think having to take care of my animals actually helped and changed my outcome.?

Good morning from a wet and windy Wales.
Hope you all have a good Friday!!

Very windy here as well. All of the storms from Alabama, Georgia are blowing our way. It’s bright, sunny and blustery with temps on the rise. Might be over 80 tomorrow.

Hope the storms weaken before getting to you. We need rain down here really bad.

Winds are gusting, and it’s hot out. 81 and we might see a few more degrees here by evening. We lost power for a few hours, but I was able to at least plug in our internet to my solar powered back-up system.

That's great you have a backup to operate a few things.

Generators & solar panels are must-have back-ups these days!!

Good evenooning all.

It was blustery and cold this morning and I had to take my car to get its new tyre fitted. Normally you can wait in their nice waiting room, but under covid I opted to roam the High Street window shopping while it was done.

All non essential shops are closed at the moment here due to lockdown so options are very limited. I did have a look round a new international grocer that has opened recently... the first on our High Street... and the range of Oriental, Middle Eastern and Caribbean food stuffs was excellent. I need to do some menu planning with ingredients I haven’t been able to source before :)

Daughter spent her day in a grotty industrial estate in Essex trapping water voles. These cute little creatures are an endangered species and work on a railway line next to the river will put them at risk. They’re being taken to a wildlife sanctuary not far from here for the summer and will be returned when the work is complete.

Five years ago today, daughter was volunteering on a project montoring prairie dogs in Grasslands National Park in Saskatchewa, Canada right on the birder with Montana, USA. Ironically she was given the lead in the trapping job today because of her experience in Canada.

It was so windy here this morning it was kinda scary. Just a light rain now and then. Not much. I was afraid we'd loose electric but we didn't. Even the TV hung in there ?

The weather man was calling our wind a November witch. I think it was a good name for it.

Went to the store this a.m. and came home with Good 'n Plenty, Lays minimum salt potato chips, Pepsi and French Vanilla ice cream. Was so intent on what snacks I would bring home that I totally forgot to get my mail from the post office!

I lost my box of needlework pins a few days ago. I found them today... in my coat pocket. I have no idea how they got there!

And in other news, Lyn and I are both celebrating.

Scotland scored a try in extra time beating France thus ensuring Wales won the six nations rugby championship. It was heart-stopping but brilliant :)
Fantastic for Scotland and great news for Wales.
"Diolch yr Alban!!" (Thank you Scotland)
Scotland have had an excellent 6 Nations this year.

The weather didn't improve much during the day, with hail showers, and strong winds.
It should be drier tomorrow but temps still under 10C.
Lola has had a very active day - in and out of his hide all day in spite of the weather and he's basked and eaten a lot more than usual too, Don't know what's triggered that but it was good to see him out and about in his room. He let me sit in with him for a while but soon let me know that he wanted me out of his space by pushing against my leg.
Otherwise I've not done much at all - a very lazy day for me.
