Back to the Blogstone

I've been meaning to get back to writing ever since this pandemic thing started, there have just been a number of other pressing priorities:

• finding food sources that will deliver (I have asthma and Bill just turned 72)
• taking stock of what food we have and where it is
• tackling the gardens when weather permits
• convincing Bill to stay home
• learning Zoom and Whatsapp to communicate with WI Committee and Book Group
• finding new programmes on Netflix (Simon shared his code with us) that Bill will watch
• proofing my US tax return sent by the accountant (I think she used various and weird exchange rates on my British income and I'm completely unimpressed)
• putting together a craft email on how to make bunting for WI Craft Group
• having developed a toothache and the dentist won't see me so long as I can eat, sleep and don't have a fever (though once I have a fever, since I cough all the time, will he see me then?), I clean my teeth a lot, do salt water mouthwashes and rub on Colgate toothpaste for sensitive teeth. 
• wash my hands obsessively
• go for long walks to try to counteract all the food we're eating (Bill is still running)
• trying new recipes as a form of entertainment
• trying not to sit still for more than 30 minutes at a time (bad for your health to sit too long)

Who knew staying at home could be so exhausting?

It's always hard to start writing again after a pause, I seem to have to find my voice again. But I have started taking photos again and those always help me get started with the words.

Hope you'll join in with comments! I may find time to look up some of my old blogging buddies to see if they've picked up their blogs again.

(P.S. In addition to writing new posts, I'm going back and reviewing old drafts that never got published. For example, a couple about redecorating and rearranging my craft room:
