Really hope you are all taking good care of yourselves I am luck I am a crafter so being off work gives me lots of time to catch up. Keep safe keep in touch xx
I'm onto the spring planting. You are right Luce, being at home is exhausting. x
Mrs CB is now working (whatever that is) from home and having frequent telecons (whatever they are). To reduce background noise, I've cut back on vacuuming as she reckons the carpets will be threadbare by June.
I have a list of jobs too, doing one a day plus dog walking, meal planning, fiddling with my dahlia tubers and waiting for my climbing beans to germinate.
It's all go!

I may appear to be listening but in my head I'm all at sea.
Oh the joys of technology! Mr T is a bit of a technophobe, so him attempting to skype with 2 fellow committee members took about half an hour of my time (when I really wanted to get dinner ready), trying to get him set up & running. In the end they did it with Mr T on the phone to intermediary linking to third by skype.
I need some warmer weather to resume gardening - will get beans potted soon, but then need to decide where to grow them. I think the previous bed needs a rest (& the raspberries are taking over). Maybe in between the shrubs I planted recently. In the meantime it's enjoyable watching the wildlife in the garden.
Hey Chrissy
Good to hear from you, & crafting is so relaxing. Well, I was never that good but I gave it a go & could spend ages sticking numbers & letters over a bit of card. Although my sis who's really good used to do the most amazing stuff. Cross stitching's quite good for relaxation too, again I'm no expert but have dabbled in the past.
MrB loves his gadgets & he's got almost everything linked up to his computer, he built it himself & it's the size of a small fridge or tumble dryer. On the other hand I had to call Sky up one day & they asked me to switch the TV on, I didn't know how to as he'd got 8 remote controls . Honestly I was so ashamed & wondered when I'd turned into my Dear Mom. He used to want to get Mom a laptop but she used to look at us like we'd threatened to stab her to death. I just don't think that we're able to do some of the stuff that he's hoping to do, probably not in our lifetime anyway.
Take care all xxx
