All's well here, Chris. I managed a little over a 1 km walk (I hooked up to Messenger and took a friend, confined to her flat in the UK, with me). It was a way of relieving the boredom for both of us. Reply #5857. Apr 16 20, 9:10 AM |

Thanks for asking Chris, and yes at present all is also well with me. The weather has been unusually fine here, for the past few weeks, with warm Spring sunshine. Typical I suppose, just as all forms of gatherings and entertainment are off limits. However, I have spent time in he garden, cutting grass more often than necessary, and the veggie garden is ready for planting. I'm also managing a decent walk each day, trying to follow different routes to avoid boredom. Having said how good the weather has been, it's actually raining now for the first time in weeks, and I'm so pleased as the garden really needs watering! Take care both of you .... Cheers!
