10.1.21 Chilling on Sunday

I took this picture when I was out on our walk this afternoon. There are patches of ice in the water. It is a cold crisp day again, perfect for a walk, and then relaxing on the sofa. Kitty has not ventured out at all of course. This morning I listened to our online service,…

9.1.21 Saturday chill

It was -6 degrees C this morning when I went out, which is indeed pretty chilly. I had a 9am appointment at the hairdressers, the only one i could get. I think people are getting worried that they will close the hairdressers again. It was about that temperature yesterday morning as well, when I decided…

Nature vibes

I went for a walk this morning, before our virtual Church. The sun was shining, everything was fresh from the rain from the night before and the birds were singing. It was very refreshing. Here are some highlights and impressions. When I was coming back up from the river, i met a man at the…

Day 44, venturing out

Today I had to go to the office, there was stuff to print and have signed, and there was a program to use that only works in the office!! At the office I would say I was the only none Chinese person in, apart from the receptionist. Everyone was wearing a mask, which made some…

Birthday in lockdown

it was my daughters birthday last week, and today it was mine. The current restrictions means no ride on the lake, or lunch at a nice restaurant. However, at some point I hope to be able to do those things. I took the day off, as I really do not like having to work on…

Good Friday, day 24

It is so strange marking Easter without actually being able to do to Church. I did do the Maundy Thursday service online last night, which was strangely moving, and had the added bonus of providing me with a foot bath, which was about time to be honest. Today the weather has been incredible, it was…

Back to nature

They say that nature is coming back during this period of lockdown everywhere, and I met this little deer in the woods this morning, in fact he was coming towards me on the path and did not notice me until I said hello. I wish I had had my camera out then. But here he…

Zooming on Sunday

Today is Palm Sunday, and the start of Holy week and the run up to Easter. I overslept this morning, which made me a bit late for our virtual service, and almost late for the Zoom coffee morning that was organised for afterwards. As hostess, this would not have been good. This was our first…

Walk in the woods

Today we did another walk in the local neighborhood along paths familiar and not so familiar. There were lots of flowers out as well as birds swooping around. We were not totally alone out there, but alone enough. Down by the river there were of cause way more people than in the woods, so we…
