Fourteen days of confinement, not the easiest thing to do on a narrowboat but for us we have been lucky to have moored away from others. And we have also been able to leave the boat, walk around part of the basin and have the use of the workshop without fear of anyone coming in. Ah, well, that is with one exception, of course, Howard was a big problem but as of now, we can safely chat to him so long as we keep our distance.
Very excited to decide on what groceries to get from Asda. That really sounds sad but I cant wait to see for myself the queues that form and how the shop deals with it. Leaving Oz and going shopping, apart from tape on the floor to keep everyone 1.5 meters apart, you could still enter whenever you liked.
Talking of shopping, we have copied an idea by Sally. Every week she would go to Coles in Thornleigh armed with a shopping list. But not a handwritten list, a blank template downloaded by my brother which he then listed every item aisle by aisle of groceries to keep the household going.
Ian has printed something similar but because we have three supermarkets within walking distance, compiling it by aisle was not an option. Will it work for us? We will finally find out tomorrow.
Hardly done anything today. Did one more wash load but most to the morning was trying to find a suitable photo to place in our New Zealand frame. It was down to three and we decided on the last one.
Soup and Corned beef sarnies for lunch. Really nice with a tomato.
Ian kept occupied all day. This time rubbing down the green on the back deck. Found to his annoyance that the green paint put away in paint screw-top tidy pots last year caused a massive skin to form over the top. It was only by digging deep that he found a bit of liquid paint. Hardly enough to do the job so he eeked it out the best he could. The trouble now there is not enough of the green to do a second coat.
As for me I just chilled out and watched my man at work with the brush, and a great job he did too.
Cajun chicken with pasta and peas for dinner. Slowly but surely the supplies bought by Colin and Christine are going down. Soon we may be able to get our bookcase back.
Still haven't watched Jane Eyre but Ian managed to record it on his computer. At least we can watch this at our leisure.
Have already decided to go early to Asda tomorrow. So excited about going out at last!

Hi Irene, You may be out of isolation...but you ain't free... LOL Here's a link of how ASDA is working ATM... https://www.asda.com/feeding-the-nation My local store in Derby is quite good at organising the queue and limiting the number inside :) Don't forget to take your rubber gloves as the trolley sanitiser station will not where you want it!! Good luck and stay safe xx
Your right Kevin but we are free to go for walks. Still in this lockdown for another three weeks or more, our problem is finding things to do. With boats either side of us, we can't even polish the sides or paint the gunwales.
We have our sanitising wipes and gloves ready and waiting and you can rest assured we will do our very best to keep out of harm's way.
Xx
