April 16th, 2021. 33rd day of isolation.

Things are progressing. Our 2nd jab is now 10 days old so we are almost immune. So today Auntie Phylis along with cousin Pamela, came for an al fresco coffee and cake. The first of many with friends and family but hopefully it will be a bit warmer soon. Uncle Raymond was feeling unwell.

We have not fallen into the trap of insisting on going for a pint. It would be nice to drop in to our local but I am not booking a table in advance. It is ok to do so for the barber shop and I had my first short back and sides for a long while, yesterday. A gentleman was making a reservation, as I arrived, which was for as far away as the 30th April. Still a long way off but he took it. Mum had her hair cut after many months. She really needed it.

We did our first ever baby sitting duties on Wednesday. Our grandchildren are 14, 12 and 10 so it’s about time. David had them for a couple of days and David wanted to go for a run. So we also took them to swimming training. Watched Ronnie at cricket training tonight. That lad can bowl fast.

I haven’t mentioned the Jig Saw for a bit. Well its 75% completed but all that is left is a monotonous sky and David’s black T-shirt. I’m usually pretty good at spotting where a piece goes but when over 100 are plain black and the rest are pale blue, my work is very challenging.
