We are on day 53 of Lock Down here in the UK due to Covid-19. (Things were slightly eased this week but we're still staying home.) In these difficult times it's even more important to take a breath from time to time and be positive. That's why this meme hosted by Susanne at Living to Tell the Story is a lovely place to come and share our gratitude and positivity. Check out the link above to find who else is taking part.
1) A surprise delivery from our niece, gifted by my daughter and family:
2) A family quiz via Zoom. It was a bit chaotic and noisy at times but great fun. We were no good at the quiz (need to drink more cocktails!) but I did win the prize for the best hat:
3) Dry weather - we've been able to get out for a walk each day and since Wednesday we've been allowed to go out for more walks or exercise if we want to.
4) Hearing the heartbeat of one of our coming Grandbabies. Our DIL has a midwife appointment and recorded the baby's heartbeat. Lovely and reassuring.
5) We still have a buyer for our house! We're still waiting to hear about their buyers but as part of the easing of restrictions this week it's been announced the house purchases can go ahead. So.....we have to find somewhere to buy. Not sure how a viewing can be done safely but we'll cross that bridge as and when.....
And we're still all safe and well.
I hope you are too and have a good weekend.
Hooray that your buyers are still hanging in there and hope you can find just what you need soon! Hearing the baby's heartbeat had to be emotional and wonderful!! I'm glad things are loosening a bit for you over there! Be safe though!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are having some fun with your family during this lockdown. I love your faves. Let's hope with can keep moving forward toward normalcy. Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteA quiz sounds fun!! Crazy hat!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteHow precious to hear the heartbeat of a coming baby. Life is precious.
Have a relaxing weekend!
So glad your buyer hung in. Love the hat. Everyone is walking around with gray roots - and those likely daughter who has blond hair - are walking around with brown roots!! hahah
ReplyDeleteHow nice to get the cheese box! And the quiz sounds fun. So special to hear the new grandchild's heartbeat. My husband was glad for a dry weekend to get mowing and yard work done. We're supposed to have rain this week. That's great news about still having a buyer! That would be hard to go house hunting now. Here they have a lot of house showings online--doesn't eliminate the need to see them in person, but it helps to decide which ones you might want to see and which you don't.
ReplyDeleteLots of nice things happening for you. Fingers crossed on the house. How special to hear the grandbaby's heartbeat. It makes me smile to think about. It's so nice to get a surprise in the mail. I'm getting my haircut Tuesday -- fingers crossed, it's my third attempt, they keep closing the shop. I've been doing my own roots, but there aren't many people to see them, so all is well.
ReplyDeleteHow fun finding ways to interact with the family on Zoom. Your hat and what it hides made me laugh. What a great gift that cheesebox is! What a gift to hear your grandbabies heartbeat! Definitely something that would bring joy at this crazy time!
ReplyDeleteOh good news on the house purchaser! Here in CA, two people who live in the same home may view a house with their agent, and the seller's agent has to be there, too. We've had a couple of showings of our home in the past two weeks.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to hear and know your grandbaby is alive and well!
I think that after all this is over, more and more people are going to be taking walks and hikes. I hope so!
Have a safe and well week!
