Monday
Lj has got back to being very quiet (back to pre-Covid19 levels of activity). It's a shame, but understandable as people go back to work and are probably involved in going out and about. I'm pleased that I have kept posting most days as I've a pretty good record of how Covid19 has affected my family and me over the past 20-something months. It will be interesting to look back when everything is back to normality (if that ever happens).
Forecast today: 18C/64F overcast
Actual weather - pretty dreary, and it keeps threatening rain, but nothing so far. I'm back in socks and I'm wearing a sweater so more like a regular September :)
Yesterday at Tai Chi I got bitten by something in the longer grass at the park - three little bites on the back of my hand and one on the top of my foot. All night they were itching, so I didn't sleep very well. I hate that bitey things love me for some reason! I've taken anti-histamine and I have an anti-bite cream, but all the bites are slightly swollen, and very itchy which is really annoying!
Poor Tippi is scratching all the time again too - the harvest mites in the garden are making her all itchy. She's off to the vet on Wednesday for routine booster shots so hopefully they can be persuaded to give her the anti-histamine shot she needs to stop scratching up her skin.
This morning I made the stained glass things my friend wanted and this afternoon I've been sorting out the last of the 'stuff' and my clothes drawers. This year I've not put away as many of the warmer sweaters as the weather has been so unpredictable so the drawers have got a bit muddled. It was a useful hour or so.
I have a question for today: 20. Do you have an iPod?
I do but I don't use it. I treated myself to a new 132Gb one a couple of years ago as the one I had was too small for our music library. Unfortunately I think it's got a fault as the battery runs out within a couple of hours and it drives me mad as it's always dead when I want to use it. I will trade it in for something else at some point. I tend to use my phone or iPad for music as it's easier and the always have juice.
