Lockdown Day 22

This morning I woke up at 5am in a pool of sweat. I heard the heater so I ran downstairs to turn it off. But to my surprise it needed to be on because the outdoors temp was zero Celsius! I was like DAMN THAT'S FREEZING. Because it is. Zero degrees Celsius is the freezing point of water. FYI. I can't believe the temperature drop. Just a few days ago it was so hot out we were able to put up our pool. Had to empty it the very next day though. Too cold. Proper April weather, but at least it's lovely and sunny! So the UK lockdown has been extended to May 7th. However, things don't look good and where schools are concerned, we are thinking this one's a bust until September. Yesterday in America Trump had a melt-down during his briefing. I seriously don't know how that man is president. He's power mad and his brain functions less coherently day by day. It's 2pm now. So far today I've done some laundry. Other than that I've been perusing Facebook

End of Two Week Lockdown

That post title may be misleading, what I mean to say is it’s been two weeks today since the start of the UK lockdown. I think I’ve gone to Tesco once per week, and every time I go it’s changed.  Today there was toilet tissue and paracetamol for the first time since this fiasco of a pandemic began! Although the meds were almost £2 for one box. Frikin rip off artists during a crisis. Also, they’ve set up a 1 in 1 out system for the whole store, and a one-way path inside. I kept forgetting to go one-way, but so did everyone else until the last few isle where most of the workers were, ready to tell people off. Even I had to go to the end with my pre-beeped groceries. But it’s all for the greater good, so I’m fine with the system. And my bf was right. The Texaco car wash was open so my car finally got cleaned a bit. Oops. I forgot to check my antenna to make sure it wasn’t ripped off. It’s in the middle of my roof, so I couldn’t reach it! Stupid design. Oh well.
