Welcome to my feature Chuckles Weekend
Roundup where I will be looking at what books I've received, anything
interesting I've done or bought or watched and other random stuff. I'll
be taking a look back at what happened in my blogging world too, sort of
like The Sunday Post that some of you do!
Please note that I'll be visiting your
STS/SP as normal, but I don't follow or leave comments on blogs run by
Google Plus, or DISQUS as I refuse to join something just to leave
comments, and I won't allow DISQUS to follow new people, update my
profile or post tweets 'on my behalf'. I am the only one who does that
on my social media! I won't comment on any blog that makes me sign in using another account. Sometimes,
I have problems leaving messages on blogs hosted by
Wordpress-they try to block me because I deleted my account with them but I will persevere as it only happens the odd time!
I'm finding it hard to believe that February has nearly gone. It's been just over a year since we heard of Covid on the cruise ships-how insane is that? It's a year since I went into self isolation and I've only been out the house about 5 or 6 times since then, to my uncle's house, to a pharmacy for a flu jab in September and the vaccine centre earlier this month. I can barely remember the days of going down to the coast for a drive, browsing in charity shops and second hand bookstores and a weekend takeaway each Saturday. I do miss simple things like that and it will be the same for at least the first part of this year until most people get the vaccine. But I'll put up with all that as my dad and I are Covid free and doing ok.
On the plus side it's been a productive month overall. The guys are working on the fence this weekend and should get it done by tomorrow, the security lights are fixed, I've done some TV and film watching, watched tons of sport, started eating better and exercising daily, doing a bit better with my blogging and had a good reading week. I'll take that! I even got some book reviews from last year done which feels like a miracle!

It’s so weird that we’ve been doing this COVID stuff for a year. The last time I went to the store without a mask was March 17, 2020. I was getting myself a birthday cake. Next month will be my second social distance birthday. I’m glad you’re doing okay!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
At this point last year all the people stuck on those cruise ships were being brought back to quarantine in the UK for two weeks. I was watching the news every minute for details about the virus and we were the only people in our area who were wearing masks!
DeleteIt is crazy that it's been almost a year. It's hard to remember regular life before. Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteIt is getting hard to remember life BC...before Covid! I miss that normal life and wonder if it'll ever really come back fully. I want to go back to charity shops and second hand bookshops. I'm also tired of buying clothes from Amazon and having to play 'guess the size'!!!
DeleteA year! Crazy huh? And I need that Boy George book!
ReplyDeleteThe Boy George book is supposed to be bitchy and a warts and all kind of read. That is a proper memoir for me!
