So this is Lockdown Day 65 (maybe)

No real news from here. I do have photos of Barnard Castle but I shall resist posting them as they were taken nearly two years ago and not recently (this will probably pass anyone who isn't a Brit by and all I can say is how lucky you are). Even the news that non-essential shops might be able to open from the middle of next month has failed to

Your cooperative pilates class made me smile.

[kathyh]

It made us smile too. We did discover that at one point we were all doing different exercises which led to a certain amount of Zoom mayhem :)

S2C was at school in Barnard Castle many years ago :P A whole new claim to fame!

I love the idea of the leaderless DIY Pilates session.

[kathyh]

The leaderless Pilates was quite fun. It helped that we've all been doing it together for quite some time so were all able to chip in on which exercise to do next. It did fall apart slightly when we all doing different ones but we got back together eventually :)

I wonder how many people had heard of Barnard Castle before this. It is a nice place but I suspect it didn't want quite this level of fame!

Well done for everyone carrying on with the Pilates! So frustrating having technical issues which of course are so difficult to get fixed at the moment.

I hope you enjoy your fruit basket.

[kathyh]

So do I. We've had loads of veg but our fruit choices have been a bit limited so I thought this would be a nice change.

The weird thing about the Pilates problem is that Lisa's wifi is always dodgy on a Tuesday. It was fine on Monday for Paracise but yesterday went completely. Hopefully it will be OK again tomorrow otherwise we might have to carry on again without her. It did help that one of my Pilates classmates is a former teacher :)

Sounds like you were busy. I've been following the whole Barnard Castle thing although I'm not sure how it relates to the castle.

I like blue and orange together in quilts but otherwise I like blue and green and purples together.

It doesn’t relate to the actual castle but the town that is named after the castle is where Dominic Cummings, Boris Johnson’s would be Svengali, was seen apparently testing his eyesight (don’t ask) and thereby breaking lockdown rules. The castle itself is one of the great strongholds of the Yorkists and there are fabulous views of it from the nearby river.

Okay that makes more sense. I knew there was a scandal going on but since we seem to have the arsehole king of scandals, it got lost in the noise over here.
