exciting evenings [grin]

HB, your 13:04 yesterday found me requiring yet another lie down!

Finished the back on the jumper I’m knitting
Watched Death in Paradise
Checked the date for the start of British Summer Time. We put the clocks forward on the 27 March. ?

Shredded an enormous pile of paper- letters and statements etc I’m moving shortly and don’t want to cart the stuff around. There’s years worth of it. What was I thinking? Never again? This has been laborious but quite cathartic.
Oddly satisfied now though so big mug cuppa and a Cadburies Twirl……or two even.

I'll do more when the evenings are light. I want to start going to the pub again on a Saturday evening to enjoy the live music.
I should hopefully be able to walk more by then, too. Since my stroke last July, I've been trying to build up a bit of exercise. I read, listen to music, talk to friends on the 'phone, do crossword puzzles, cook, and do the usual indoor stuff, but I'm looking forward to getting out more.

Admin for my business.
Baking.
Sewing, knitting and other crafts.
Play the piano and cello.
Zoom friends who don't live nearby.
Go for a run.
Meet a friend for a walk in the dark.
Play chess with DH.
Read books.

I can't imagine not having things to do.

Pizza dinner in front of dinosaur TV.

We ate dinner from a tray whilst watching BBC news ( how very dare we!) and then we watched No Return on ITVHub. I showered and got into my lovely pjs, had a drink of hot chocolate and we went to bed. I caught up with Gransnet and them watched Question Time in bed, and then sleep.

I do things like crossword puzzles while watching tv, most evenings. Or a bit of sewing. I like mending things.

Watch tv with OH. He usually gives me a relaxing foot massage with no 7 moisturiser.
Usually retire between 9-10pm and leave OH to watch crime drama, while I watch something light in bed or read.

Mondays or Tuesdays are our pub quiz nights, Thursdays our WhatsApp quiz with the family, Saturdays DH and I do Jay’s quiz on YouTube. Not that we’re competitive or anything.

Our trips out tend to be daytime now, even the cinema and theatre, so unless there’s something special on, it’s usually TV with a jigsaw. I sometimes stick a wash in for a bit if variety.

Coastpath, any evening with winegums is exciting to me.

“La Nouba”

I envy you seeing the new Cirque Coastpath. I watched a programme about it, and how they got the water into the Royal Albert Hall.
I saw one 8 years ago in Orlando and loved it! It was “Nouba” .
My evenings lately are of the TV variety.

Yesterday evening we had our first choir practice for ages. Well, it was a meeting really because it was the first time with a new conductor.

We got to know him and planned the next couple of gigs (Easter services). There were a couple of recent birthdays and someone had brought a couple of bottles of bubbly.

Then I went home and did a couple of lessons of Duolingo. No cooking or washing up. DH had got himself something to eat while I was out and I just had a bit of toast when I got in.

Kim19 - glad I’m not the only owl here ?

Planned a group outing for next Wednesday and sent participants details. Watched a little catch up telly. Hot chocolate then bed where I am cosily now. Wordle next.

Watched snooker all evening. I'm a fan of Neil Robertson and he won, so he'll be playing again an Saturday evening. Watchhing snooker has become my surprise lockdown activity. I also did a sudoku and sent a WI email, drank a glass of wine and ate a tiny bit of chocolate and some nuts.

Took up an eBay maxi dress and then made a start on topsyturvy knitted little red riding hood doll for one little granddaughter. I made 2 of the Cinderella versions a couple of years ago for 2 of the others but she wanted a different one.
Had a bath and off to bed

Went to our daughters today and had late lunch near Skipton. Late getting home prepared meal for tomorrow. Packed small overnight bag for trip to Cardiff for rugby on Saturday. Spent a couple of hours looking for ideas in my cookery books planning an elegant meal for Monday. Glasses of wine ? then ready to hit the sack.

Watched a film with Mr MM. His choice tonight was The King's Man. I wasn't enthralled. Made egg and tomato sandwiches for supper, and did some crochet.

We had been out to a pub for lunch, and then we visited my sister and niece. All in all, we had a very good day.

Done a Sainbury’s order. Thrilling.

MrJ and I had dinner then watched a film, Hard Times, very funny. Thursday night is our film night, tomorrow night is pub night, catch up with friends in our local.

It was mesmerising HowVeryDareYou and crazyH. I can't recommend Luzia highly enough but I think the skill and excitement would be the same whichever version you see. Such a thrill and a complete escape from reality which has left me buzzing with happiness.

But as you say, when reality is my dear old dog and some wine gums, life is pretty good.

Coastpath, I’m hoping to see them in Birmingham. I would have loved to see Luzia, but I think the Birmingham one is Corteo

Coastpath Cirque du Soleil - I've heard it's brilliant. A bag of wine gums and a cuddle with the dog sounds good, though.
