Like many people for whom today was Mother's Day it was incredibly surreal. With social isolation and distancing I wasn't able to give my mum her card even though she only lives 1 mile from our house:
To cheer me up I joined the global trend of putting a rainbow in your window as a symbol of hope. There is also a virtual Easter egg hunt. Just hope the paint comes off as easily as folks say:
In order to raise a few smiles I spent the entire day dressed as an elf! It did make folks laugh on the video chats I had... Of course going out for a Mother's Day lunch was off the cards. I made myself a ploughman's and sat out on the lawn for a picnic. My son also tried to teach me how to play Magic the Gathering:
As I am on roll with sorting out the house I carried on from where I had started and tackled the next cupboard. Lots of picnic gear now in the walk in cupboard and everything else rationalised:
With plenty of time on my hands I used some of our local meat and veg to make a beef stew. I have also attempted slow cooker bread... it isn't ready yet so no idea if it worked!
Wow you got very productive. Maybe it was the magic of being dressed as an elf? Happy belated Mother's day. xx
