Finished painting, cleared everything away, vacuumed and dusted and washed the floors.

Now, another cuppa.

A nice 5 mile bimble on the bike. Been off the bike more or less for 4 months due to health and the weather, and oh boy, was it good to get out, even if it was hard work.

I now have a and a bag of crisps.

Can you think of a better way to self isolate?

We're closing the van down, having only opened it last week. We had essential maintenance to do last week (fence in bits), now have to shut gas and water off, as well as remove anything fom fridge/freezer having seen how this 'CV19' has progressed in the week. We've not mixed with anyone, and taking some food home (especially cat food). We couldn't have left not 'shut down'. It's very quiet down here.

Shoot happens, we've just paid the £3.5k ground rent, with £450 insurance/alarm cover due next month

First barbecue of the year and a very sunny day for it. Drunk in charge of a rotivator, irresponsible at any time but especially right now, won't happen again.

Final total for the day - 3 loads of washing done, dried & ironed as necessary.
3 months worh of accounts filing and old bill shredding
Front & back lawns cut & 3 bags of clippings taken to recycling centre.

But first, will spend a little while working on the drawing for my Hot Rod painting. I've gone #351 @Jenkins

Mark 1 or Mark 2 Escort era?
I've probably got a pic on film somewhere, but here's one from when he did a demo run at Brands in one of the old machines...

Mk2 Escort - preferred the colour scheme

Is the correct answer.

Will be interesting to see how this one goes - I'm trying out a very different type of paper to what I usually use. Got the basic lines of the car done and inked in, will start on the detail work tomorrow.

Post It Note news flash.....

I bought some new Post It notes a few days ago. Imagine my surprise when I found that they have no, yes, NO gummy bit on the back to stick them on the fridge door!!

The most annoying thing about moving house is that, no matter how carefully you label the boxes, you inevitably find yourself searching through at least half a dozen boxes for one small item you happen to need. I've had this several times over the last 2 weekends.
Anyway, the house is starting to look liveable, which is good, because I'll be working from home starting next week, and thus spending a lot of time in the house.

My feet hurt, because I've been doing a lot of exploratory (and shopping related) walking around my new neighbourhood last weekend and this one. The area is very hilly, even more so than my previous area, which I like: there's hills and trees everywhere. It's also nice living in a suburb with a French name: Montmorency. It was named after an early farm, which itself was named after Montmorency not far north of Paris. In a humorous coincidence, the shower in my new rental has a French style shower head: attached to a long, flexible cord, the shower head fits into a small cradle attached to the side of the shower recess. I saw a lot of these in my visits to France.

Early start this morning. Got to be at work for six. Bit of a shock to the system after so long of not getting up before 0700.

Just hope I can get out on deliveries and not stuck in the office again.

Cycle ride this afternoon after I finish Yay!!!

I’m up, top of the morning to you.
I have tea, and Winnie snoozing on my lap.
