What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

I Blushed

We are still in lockdown, but this reduced level allows me to order online and then drive out and pick up my order.

So wife wanted more potting mix and bark for the garden and ordered 8 bag loads from Bunnings which I had to pick up for her.

The young man scanned my barcode and went and got my order.

We're not allowed to leave or cars and we still have to wear masks so I wasn't overly visible, but after loading up my car, he approached my passenger window and said how beautiful I looked.

I wonder how good his vision was, but it still caused me to blush

Day Whatever.......still in lockdown

Without the working week, does it really matter what day it is?

During this lockdown, I've cleaned the gutters around the house, cleaned the house, inside and out, built 2 trellis for wind breaks and privacy, built the floor structure for a new shed and walked about 8km each day.

I won't comment on how much I've eaten, not like there's much more to do.

Hoping to be able to go to work soon before all my funds have been used up, adding to the stress on top of that I've only been able to dress nicely about 1 hour every 3rd day - seriously not enough girl time (wife and daughter have commented about me dressing too often)

I did manage 30 minutes out at the shops picking up essential supplies (milk, bread, Hundreds and Thousands biscuits).

Lockdown Post

Built stairs on outdoor path. Built seats in rear courtyard. Built new shed base (can't buy the shed yet). Built and painted trellis and installed as privacy screen on front porch.  Washed house and pergola (inside and outside). Moved small trees and pot plants to wife's current requirements. Walked many Kms.

And grew a beard.

Worn yoga tights often (sometimes all day long, sometimes the black ones, sometimes my silver ones)

Practiced single rope climbing and abseiling in the above tights

Lockdown - the craziest of times.
