Thought that might make you laugh… š¤·š»āāļøš¤£
Iām still making the most of lockdown and Iāve done loads today but things have been sent to try us and itās just a question of breathing through it all and not letting it blow out of proportion.
So another sunrise walk with Bhruic and Freya and close to 8k steps done before 9am.









Home for a coffee and a shower before my wee homeschooler popped in. Just for an hour today and she drew a picture of a Fairtrade super hero banana and made up a menu of Fairtrade food. Way easier than yesterday!
While she was working I got all the dog blankets into the washing machine and herein lies the first issue….. the washing machine drum is making a rasping noise when it spins. Iāve looked it up and am thinking that the bearings are away. Itās super noisy and has been for a week or so. Donāt think thereās anything it in as the drum alone makes a noise now.
So worst case scenario… new washing machine….. ok….
After Rachel left I decided to walk into Beith to the post office as have Auntie Margaretās crochet blanket ready to go. A few other things too. All packed up and set off with Calaidh puppa.




I got to the Beith Bypass…. (well this field above is right next to the road) when I remembered I didnāt have a mask with me. The first time Iāve been caught out without a mask. Not even a buff… our post office is way in the back of a shop so I couldnāt just stand with my arm over my mouth…. so suck up that little teensy weensy tiny bit of damn frustration and head back home via Spiers School Grounds. š¬š¬š¬








Not sure Iāve mentioned before but we also own a house in Kilmarnock which is rented out. Sadly itās in negative equity as a result of the property decline about a decade or so ago. So we rent it out…. and if Iām honest…. pretty much forget it exists.
The letter today is from some official agency suggesting our tenant is looking for council housing. š±
That usually adds a fair bit of stress to life as weāve often had unfortunate tenants so have enjoyed having the same one for about 4 years. We donāt know she is moving out yet. Itās just a kick in the gut reminder that we will need to sort that all out. But thatās ok….

I put my wheels and tyres up for sale today… got them all cleaned up and photogenic like and Craig has been polishing the Jeep to get it up for sale.

Iām up at over 15k steps now and am suddenly very tired. For the first time in a very long time I felt too tired to write the blog. I feel a bit down about the things that didnāt go our way today but I feel pretty shattered trying to look at it all positively.
We have Gateside Inn takeaway coming tonight so donāt even have to cook.
I never made it back to the Post Office but I will.
The washing machine will be what will be. The tyres will sell. The Jeep will sell and weāll deal with Kilmarnock whatever happens. Iāve not fallen apart in the way I would have before which is huge progress. We can handle anything that gets thrown at us.
Just after a nap…..
Stay safe everyone š“š“š“
