I'm getting tired of listening to the news, if it's not the damn COVID19, it's the US election, then the arguments start and let's face it - the world is in a dark place, and the only thing we need to do is try and find some sunshine. I spoke to my son last night and he said he'll try and come up to see me soon, but the way the Government keeps changing its mind about who can travel and who can see who, it's all up in the air. I haven't seen him since March and he only lives 80 odd miles away. Mandi lives around 4,000 miles away and she is going through similar problems with tourists not being good, they won't wear masks nor keep their distance, so it's all chaos. So she's had to stay in her home, because her immune system is down, and she would soon be liable to catch anything that's going round.
There is some good news from her end though - her cat, Fluff, produced 4 little kittens the other day - it was a complete surprise to everyone, but even though Dogan wasn't happy, it didn't take him long before he was craning his neck to see them!!!!
Dogan has been such a lovely son-in-law to me, he knows I haven't left my home since January, and that I'm missing seeing the sea, that he's been sending me pictures of the sea and resort where they live to cheer me up!!!
It looks such a lovely place - and it is. He took these at dawn, on his way to starting the day at the hotel. I do love this area, and I thought it was really lovely of him to take these pictures for me, so I won't forget it. As if I could.
The last picture is of a small bay only a mile or so from their home - almost invisible to anyone, who doesn't know it's there.
Tony's wife, Stevie, thought she'd send me a picture of the kids going to school for the first time since March. Chloe is all girlie and looks happy enough to be going back, but Josh, on the other hand, is typically boyish - he wasn't too keen on returning, because he enjoyed home schooling.
Well now the University has re-opened, Tony has started his new job as tutor and together with his part-time job with a local tv company, doing documentaries, he's got his hands full, so it's a great relief to him to have the kids back at school.
Well apart from all this, not a lot has happened to me, well apart from the drive belt going on my old hoover!!!! So even though I do have a spare drive band, the hoover is rather old, and it can do upstairs but for downstairs I ordered a new hoover, which was on a special price only for yesterday - and it arrived this afternoon!!!! I've never had such quick delivery and it looks amazing! Emily will be pleased!
Well folks, I do hope you are all behaving yourselves and not causing havoc with your neighbourhood!!!! I can't see this virus problem being over for a long time, so what will happen to us all eh? We're going to have to find a way of coping with it, and finding a new way of life. It's strange but that old saying is really true - you never know how much you love something, until it's taken away from you. Please take care of yourselves.
Jenny McIntyre club has replied to GracieNice photo of the kids. I bet the return to school has been welcomed by many parents who need to get back to work.
I agree, in that I too think this virus is going to be with us for the foreseeable future and that we'll just have to get used to the restrictions and live life as best we can.
You take care too Jenny. Hope your son can visit some time and give you some company.
Jenny McIntyre club has replied to Bee OrchidThe kids have sort of accepted going back to school, but they did enjoy being at home doing their home tuition. I think Tony and Stevie have welcomed the kids going back to school.
I think my son said that he was hoping to come and see me soon, but with his work etc, I won't hold my breath. I can't do that neither - I've got a cold!!!!!
Steve and I are at a 3 day stop and it's very nice here! I'm off to bed but wanted to send a big hello and hug!
Jenny McIntyre club has replied to Janet Brien clubSounds good that you have found a nice place to stay. I've been watching the news about the fires etc in Oregon, and am so glad that it's moving away from your homestead. That would be simply awful for you two.
Speak again soon. x
Dogan got some crackers there
