In to my 8th week of total isolation ...How are you doing I am doing great !!!!
Well I hope ...remember each day is a day closer to us getting back to some kind of normal
I have been totally self isolating for 8 weeks now ...I started almost from the time it seemed this was going to be worse than we thought
Danny is lucky and still has his job ...so he goes off to that each day being very safe ..wearing a mask and gloves every time someone has to come in to his office
He comes straight home and we shelter in place together
I do so miss going to see the delights of T J Max and looking for Summer clothes at Belk ..I don't like to buy clothes online ..so I am waiting to be able to go and do that ...not that I am going to rush to do it I intend to isolate for about another 5 weeks and see how the reopening goes before I venture out
I have been really busy ...something I like to be ...I have done nearly everything in the garden now just waiting for the flowers to pop their pretty heads out ...I also have to paint the garden wall going down the driveway
The house is all clean and it's lovely to have so much time to do these things ....so I am enjoying lock down .....I am safe in my home ..I have amazing wildlife in our garden and woods ...I don't have a thing to moan about
Making the best of it
We have been eating really well as funnily enough 12 weeks ago we started having Hello Fresh meals delivered to our home ...3 meals a week that now has gone up to 5 meals a week and we are loving it
So useful when we find ourselves isolated ..it has been a God send
Also I have just started to have a delivery from Misfits ....it's a company that will send you every two weeks misshapen vegetables and fruit straight from the Farmer
It costs just $20 and we got all of this
We love to eat veggies and Hello Fresh mainly give you just one vegetable so I intend to use these to have more vegetables in our diet
Everything is super fresh ..
They came in a great box with insolation and lots of ice packs ..keeping it all cool and fresh
Each time you get different items ...you have no idea what will come in the order but that is exciting to me ..i would love to try some veggies I have never tried before .
I look forward to seeing what comes next
Well done Misfits

So these have really helped me and for that reason I have just have to go to the supermarket every 3 weeks for toiletries cat food etc ....
I hope that you are all doing well at this very hard, strange, confusing time
Not one of us thought this would be our 2020 story
Yesterday was the 75th anniversary of the Liberation of the Channel Isles in the UK including my Island home of Guernsey ...now we are fighting a very different war against an invisible enemy
Guernsey has had 252 cases with 13 deaths ..and it seems to have stopped now ...no change for 8 days ...let's hope it lasts
the island is on a super lockdown ..nothing opened and only allowed out for 2 hours a day for exercise ..
No in or out flights to the islands other than freight but it's working
Please be safe and positive and kind to everyone
We will get out of this
Happy Days
Janet
