The ramblings of a middle aged woman in lockdown
Today marks the summer solstice and it’s chucking it down. The 172nd day of the year and life is still a bit miserable, lockdown and weather wise. Despite government advice hundreds flocked to Stonehenge and travel from Scotland to some parts of the North West is restricted due to the newly renamed Delta variant being... Continue Reading →
This possibly is my last entry into this blog as I’m back to work tomorrow and my new normal begins. With our caravan site reopening on Monday, we’ve got a lot to do. Anyway, with this being my last day off, it’s going to be a busy one. Bed stripped and in the washer with... Continue Reading →
Easter Monday Lazy morning, then a socially distanced wander into the village with the Jellybean, took pleasure in walking her round our lockdown garden. So nice to have her see it in the flesh. So nice to see another face. So nice to be able to chat non stop. She also brought the tortoise which... Continue Reading →
Easter Sunday Lazy morning in the caravan whilst The Boss went on a 90 mile ride. Bit of social media then started putting together my piece de resistance, as scrummy afternoon tea in the caravan for when he got back. The sun is out and despite it being cold in the wind it is warm... Continue Reading →
Today, I had a good day. Felt better than I have in a few weeks and I’m sure it’s purely because I went out, properly. That big cloud hanging above my head seems to have lifted if only for a little while. Washed the caravan before lunch. It was filthy, covered in tree sap and... Continue Reading →
Good Friday Cold again out there. Really doesn’t motivate you to get outside. Spent some of the day dipping in and out of my book. Cleaned the bathroom and flicked a cloth around then treated the carpet to a vacuum. Phoned one of our oldest friends, 2nd lockdown birthday, 91 today. So hard talking on... Continue Reading →
Awoke from a really good sleep in the caravan, despite sleeping well my head is fuddled and feeling wuzzy. Feel like I’ve been drinking and I’ve not had a drink since New Years Eve. £10 off voucher to spend in Lidl nearing its expiry date on Monday, reluctant to go anywhere over the Easter weekend...

Dad has had his scans, no sign of a stroke, no official diagnosis and allowed to go home. So strange as to what it was that put him in bed unable to move. Really miserable, down day. Spoke to mum this morning, she’s not looking forward to Dad coming back if he’s no better and... Continue Reading →
Dad still in hospital. Possibly a stroke they are investigating with scans. Nice outcome of all this is I’ve spent ages chatting with my baby sister. Need to make more of an effort but then so does she I suppose. Butties squashed in tupperware along with a couple of slabs of pork pie and an... Continue Reading →
Slept really badly last night. Woke up 5 times in the night for the bathroom, how is that even possible! Struggling with my arm too, kept rolling over on it, it’s so painful. Struggling to lift it getting dressed, had to ask the hubby to fasten my bra! What has the world come to? Quick... Continue Reading →
