Some Positive thoughts

Just thinking about the whole worrying situation going on in the world. We all now know what we should be doing to keep ourselves safe so I think it's time to think what we CAN do and not what we can't do during our isolation.

• Take advantage of the lovely sunny weather, wrap up and have a leisurely breakfast in the garden.
• Read that book that you have had for a while which you never had time for.
• Get creative- have a go at some craft/art project- download some inspiration- you never know you may be a budding artist.
• Go for a walk where nobody is about and take some photos.
• Study the birds in your garden and listen to their songs
• Make a list of relatives and old friends you haven't spoken to for a while and pick up the phone and call them and while you are at it that old aunty, cousin who you have been putting off calling because you feel guilty for not being in touch- you will make their day.
• Do some gardening- prune those plants- plant some seeds- grow some herbs- summer is coming- no excuse for not having a nice garden when it does. Get the kids involved.
• Cook a nice dinner and get the old photos out and reminisce with your family. Put some on line for your friends and family to enjoy too.
• Turn off the TV, stop listening to every news bulletin and listen to music.
• Ladies paint those nails, wear something nice
• ......... and my best tip drink Gin
