Lockdown differences

I've lost 1lb this week. I'm happy with that. My total is now 12lbs. That first stone is looming.

So the other day I made a coffee to drink in the sun. I put it down on the grass whilst I got the cushion for the swing seat. I sat down to drink my coffee when I noticed a weird lump in my drink. It didn't seem right so I just threw the whole thing onto the grass. And that (see pic) is what came out of my mug. A bloody frog! Dead as dead can be! I've no idea how it got in. Did it jump then drown (can frogs drown?), did it boil (coffee wasn't that hot), or did it die in the cushion and fall out when I put it on the swing seat?? I've no idea, I don't care. I drank out of that mug with a dead frog swimming about. Yuk yuk yuk! 🤢

The things that I've noticed are different in lockdown -

1. I'm lying in. I'm not normally very good at this skill but I'm sleeping longer and longer, sometimes until 9am or more. This is epic for me.

2. I've more time to look after myself. Moisturising, exfoliating, epilating, sunbathing, face masking, eye creaming.

3. I can't get a bikini wax. My lady garden is desperate for a jolly good weeding, cut back and trim.

4. I'm not wearing a bra. Well I am sometimes, obviously! My boobs are not as they were when I was 20! But more and more I'm leaving it in the drawer. So comfy without it. Liberating and very 1960s.

5. As my bathroom is out of action, being very slowly decorated, I'm showering in the evening instead of having a bath. And I like it. Sometimes the evening and shower is as early as 2pm but that's ok. And then I put on my silk nightie and cashmere cardigan, and feel lush! 

6. I'm forgetting how to hug. This is a biggy for me as I'm a proper hugger. It's so weird not seeing people and so strange not to hug them when I do! 

7. I'm shopping is Asda. This is mostly because they have self scan which is super great and easy and quick. Tesco also has self scan but my nearest store is 17 miles away. Morrisons is local but more chaotic. Sainsbury's is 35 miles away. So Asda it is, and it's okay! I even know my way round lol.

8. I'm grocery shopping for sometimes 4 households. This needs more skill than you can imagine. And I'm getting pretty good at it, even if I do say so myself! 

The mind replays what the heart can't delete.
