Lockdown is responsible for many things, one of which is the way we shop. Speaking personally I’m disappointed if my ‘in’ box isn’t full of ‘order confirmation’ emails, and a visit from ‘postie’ is sometimes the highlight of my day.
I’ve been mostly lucky with the things I’ve bought, though a recent transaction regarding ‘suncatchers’ was a huge disappointment. Or do I mean scam?!!

It was a cold, wet, Thursday morning in January. I’d just got out of bed and was following my normal routine of looking out of the landing window before going downstairs.
I just happened to be in time to see a young woman walking down my path towards the front door. I didn’t recognise her but she looked perfectly normal, apart from the fact that she was carrying a croissant (sans bag) in her right hand.

I thought it was about time we had a Scottish cat update. If you remember matriarch Isla has now been spayed and is enjoying life, unencumbered by permanent pregnancy. Harry Potter (1st litter) having been neutered is also enjoying life in the Highlands.
Margot, Blanche, Merlin, Tipsy and TW (2nd litter) have gone to the Cats Protection League for re-homing, whilst their siblings Hissing Sid and Piglet have remained with Janice and love playing together in the garden.
Time for photos I think.

A few weeks ago I started my latest project, decorating the back bedroom. I actually prefer it to the front bedroom because the view is spectacular.

It had once housed the hot water cylinder, water tank etc. but these had been ripped out some time ago, not very carefully, leaving the cupboard in a bit of a state,

I decided the other day to Spring clean my computer. That is to say, have a look back at a lot of old stuff I’ve collected over the years. I think it’s fair to say my tastes must have changed, because quite a lot of it was rubbish and got deleted, but then I came upon these which still make me smile.
The picture quality isn’t the best, but I think you’ll get the gist.

Traditionally this is the time of year when I would look back over the last 12 months, the highs the lows and all the bits in between, but what can I write about 2020 that hasn’t already been said?
My personal highlights were the holiday on the Isle of Skye in February, and moving house of course back in June, but generally speaking 2020 has been RUBBISH.
It has, without doubt, been the strangest year I can remember and has brought out the best and the worst in people. 2020 can best be summed up in one word COVID.
