Seeing these photos from Stowe yesterday I realise that although the trees are not in leaf yet the grass is looking green and springlike. The ground is drying out now, so it was lovely to be able to walk without doing battle with any mud.
I was delighted to get an email from H today to say that she now has wi-fi at home. That will make their lives very much easier, and means she can now go back to working from home. Her dining chairs also turned up after Yodel took them on various unscheduled journeys. As a new build house built on what was previously a field her postcode isn't yet recognised by sat navs, so getting things delivered is an issue. On their first attempt to deliver Yodel failed to find the address (despite H adding a note on their tracking app with specific instructions); at the second attempt she got a notification that the chairs had been delivered, but no chairs; clearly they had not actually been delivered as they turned up on the third attempt!
I have had a very lazy day today. I spent some time reading and knitting, and some playing around with some genealogy research. We went out for a local walk this afternoon, so at least I got a bit of exercise in. From next week life will start to get busier and more "normal" (though it is now hard to remember what normal is!) so having a calm, restful week now to rebuild my energy is just what I need.
Before the pandemic started R gave us a hotel break voucher for a night away with breakfast and dinner, which we ended up not being able to use last year. The voucher has been extended, so today we booked to go to a hotel in the Cotswolds near Banbury for the end of June. TG will go and stay with R, which always makes her happy as she gets lots of doggy play time.
