SELF-ISOLATING FOR THE ELDERLY WEEK 12

Hello everybody. Well, it has been another lovely week of hot sunny weather. Who would believe it is actually still only springtime.

Our garden is a glorious splash of colour and it is full of our wonderful friends, the bees. I sincerely hope we are not jumping the gun with the easing of lockdown restrictions and that people still comply with the social distancing rules, but happily this is a return to some form of normality providing we all remain vigilant.

Song of The Week:

'Happy' by Pharrell Williams

Quote of The Week

The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the Universe is that it has never tried to contact us by Bill Watterson.

QUESTION: Can You Perform Under Pressure

ANSWER: No but I can sing Bohemian Rhapsody!

Well Normal People finishes tonight and what a great programme it has been. I think Paul Mescal is the most talented actor of his generation and surely a BAFTA beckons. I am also loving Grayson Perry's Art Club on Channel 4 and I think I am developing a strange crush on him! Lockdown must have got to me LOL!

I should have been excited this week and packing for a holiday on the 7th of June to go to my happy place, Puerto Pollensa. Last year we introduced my Granddaughter to the delights of the resort and made many happy memories, which add to the memories of taking my son Duncan and daughter Liz here since they were toddlers themselves.

I told my suitcases we wouldn't be going away this year and now I've got to deal with a lot of emotional baggage! LOL.

On Bank Holiday Monday I had a lovely visit from my wonderful son Duncan and lovely daughter in law Fatima. They drove up to our house and went off for a bike ride and on their return we had a lovely chat (at a very social distance) in the front garden. It was so good to see and chat to them in person.

Stay safe and well everyone.

Love Patricia
