A Peek in to my Day

Outside my window that sun is setting.  Lighting up the sky in beautiful shades of pink and red.

Around the house it is still remarkably tidy, I am still managing to keep to the housework routine I started at the beginning of the year.

Most of our usual activities have paused for now, I am thinking about how we can create a new rhythm which involves us interacting with our friends online rather than face to face and to ensure that we keep ourselves busy and active in different ways to usual.

I am thankful that we are all well and are in good health.

It will soon be time for our evening meal, in my kitchen there is a bowl of homemade coleslaw, a bowl of cooked green beans cooling to be made into a salad, on the stove is a pan of lentils, onions and herbs bubbling away they will go in the oven with some cheese and an egg to be made into a simple bake.

I am creating lots of knitted stitches on a sock, and a shawl.  I cast on a cardigan for my daughter this week but got stuck on row two, the instructions don't match the number of stitches on my needle, rather frustrating, I have contacted the pattern writer in the hope that she can provide some help.

We are so fortunate to live in a sparsely populated area where we can continue to spend time out of the house without meeting people, later on today I am going to take Cameron to his Archery range.  They have created a system for their members to continue to use their facilities and to alert each other when they will be doing so to ensure that we all do so in isolation.

I am wondering if folks will stay away from the county I call home over the Easter break.  It is usually a very busy time with tourists, I know that if people stay away this will mean that many businesses will suffer.  We have low numbers of infected people and a huge influx of people could compromise this.

I am reading the last pages on a wonderful book, The Salt Path by Raynor Winn, I don't want it to end.

I shall have more time on my hands to tend to my garden, I am looking forward to the warming of the earth and the time that I can start sowing seeds.

The last few weeks have been a tumultuous time for me, I have been doing a lot of talking, thinking and reflecting, a favourite quote, what you resist, persists has helped me through.

We are living in uncertain times I have realised that it is better for us to make decisions about what we will do each day in the morning rather than far ahead.  That feels exciting at the moment, an excitement that I hope doesn't become jaded over time, I am still making a few plans, ideas of things that we could do at home in the coming weeks.

I have been really busy again and I have not managed to visit many blogs in the past week I am hoping that I will find the time to drop by very soon, please accept my apologies if I haven't paid you a visit for a while.

I am learning to stay positive and think of all the good that can and could come out of the enforced changes to all our lives.

I am wearing a needlecord tunic, dark red skinny jeans and a navy knitted vest.

I love it when I find recommendations for Podcasts and they turn out to be amazing, especially when I might not otherwise have considered them.  I am listening to Inflection Point with Lauren Schiller, recommended to me by this lovely blogger.

A peak into the end of yesterday.
