So, today started off with a bang. Oh, nope, sorry, it didn’t. Extremely lazy morning today…After losing the battle to have ruby sleep downstairs, she is now a permanent fixture at bedtime. Not the worst thing in the world however as she emits this incredibly soothing aroma when she sleeps (I know, sounds weird) - almost like horlicks / ovaltine…
so after a play around once we finally get up, it’s off for a video call with Roddy who is doing all the design work for a project I’m working on. Roddy and I go waaaay back and, through a long story, find himself in a position to be freelancing design work. So after sorting out the design brief and what we want to produce, and after an actual catch up, tome to tackle prays big task: operation shed tidy.
the shed has become a bit of a dumping ground of late, and, under lockdown conditions - now seems like a hoot time to get shit done.
and I’m not gonna lie, it feel like a new shed.
not only that, but I sorted the little shed out too, and fixed a strimmer. All whilst Kirsty floundered her way through erecting a badminton net. Time lapse of this to follow…#epicfail
in amongst all this was a handover - the in-laws (to be) popped up to collect the dog - whilst adhering to social distancing rules (which I myself enforced by building a barrier of bikes, right across the garden. Parents or not, 2m please!
following the conclusion of the tidy out, was a bath and a beer (ginger cider to be precise!) followed by board games with Kirsty, in a calm, peaceful environment - nice to finally get a chance to relax without having a very excitable dog all up in my face for play play play.
after a PERFECT GAME in snakes and ladders, no snakes at all and made it to exactly 100 first time, we moved on to ludo followed by Jenga. each time, loser had to take a shot, if you captured the other player they had to take a shot and so on and so on.
southern comfort is particularly sweet. The shots didn’t last long until replaced with gin and tonic and just drinking it at your own leisure.
all in, a pretty productive day, and just really nice to spend time with Kirsty on our own. Also nice to have my dinner prepped for me, albeit turkey dinosaurs, pakora and pizza - but to be honest, I wouldn’t have had it any other way.
