A normally pessimistic old lady can be surprisingly positive, despite everything...

Today, I changed the look of the blog for the first time in a while...


Up early and getting the October Hamburg trip entries up to date along with the last week or so - it's so much harder when you let things lie...


Music-wise, all 209,039 tracks in the iTunes on shuffleplay, anything goes...


Anne was up super early too as she couldn't sleep...

Out just before 8 to Sainsbury to do some shopping for my mum...

There's been some absolutely crazy panic buying going on out there...

Home for breakfast pre 9...


Then, the final two episodes of "Silent Witness" - the series got off to a very slow start but what an ending and it's adios to two of the main characters...

This week, I'm keeping a special note of everything I eat, hence loads of pics of food I'm afraid...

This concoction was lunch...


Some more mucking about and bringing of things up to date before heading to my mum's at 2:30...

A piece of shortbread was enjoyed, without guilt...


...and mum was in surprisingly good spirits despite all the desperate news from a round the world and at home re CoronaVirus - and the fact that she has a very sore toe - hence the upness of the legs and feet in these pics...



Home and I ranked my top 40 Yes songs while Anne prepped another delicious pasta dish...




Yum...

I eschewed the telly and Anne did some painting...

At 9, the final episode of "Last Tango in Halifax" was enjoyed - I felt, at 4 episodes it was too short and not enough of the loose ends were tied up - which I suppose points to more to come in the future, so I should be thankful for that...

Grapes and an apple...


...were enjoyed... 

The News, which bombards the populace with deeply depressing items several times a day in these modern times (unlike the late 60's and Asian or Hong Kong Flu), was not...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : Getting things up to date...
