Today ended up better than I expected. I took my sister to the doctor's yesterday so she is back in quarantine in her nursing home for another 14 days so I thought I should tell her kids that she was well and thought the home was doing a good job keeping her safe even though I was tired and didn't really want to bother. I was sure they would be worried, with what's going on at Newmarch House and it can be difficult to get her because mobile phone reception and internet connection is so bad there. Fancy building a nursing home with such crummy connections these days! Most 70 year-olds I know have mobile phones, tablets, iPads and PCs, and just about everything we have to do is online these days. Anyway, when I logged on this morning, there was a lovely email from Jodi so I am glad I made the effort. My students were also quiet this morning even with an assessment due, so checking on them didn't take long - another plus for the day.

Peter's leg still looks pretty awful so we had to fit in another trip to the doctor as well as shopping and my exercise class (I HATE Zoom - even with my camera off). The doctor was happy so that was good news too. We were late getting to the supermarket though and all two (!) disabled spots were gone. I could have done without having to juggle my chair and shopping - just makes everything more painful. Still, I got Peter into the garden late afternoon - it was too lovely a day to spend indoors on the computer. Cheered us both up.

Will see our boys this weekend too. Lots to celebrate tonight.

Cheers!
