Geese finally done.

April 21, 2020

I am officially all goosed out for a while. I am just not doing any more. I am thinking this weeks Monday mystery parts might still be foundation pieced but I am not totally committed to that yet. Sort of hoping I come up with an alternative. I do really like both the ideas I have had so far though. Oh decisions, decisions. This is where I have got to so far.

Yes the geese are wiggly. They were meant to look like gentle waves but I think I was a little to subtle. They are fun and they fit the theme so I am going to declare them a win. I do think they are quite busy so my plan for this week is to calm things down a bit.

Yesterday I decided it was time I started the car. It hasn’t moved in over a month and that isn’t really healthy for them. It started perfectly, ah the joys of 2 batteries and a slightly newer car, but what surprised me is the brakes had already started to stick. So I drove it back and forth on the drive to losen things up. Let it get warm so it shifted the coolant about and called it good for another month. Typically as these things go the car will get to move today. The lightbulb has gone in the utility room and is an odd length tube. Which we need, as it is where the dog has his crate and of course it is a size we can’t find to have delivered. Screwfix claim they have set up a no contact collection serivce. So Tet will give the car a run and pick up a light tube. We are making cleaning plans and decontamination plans before even starting the mission. This new world takes a lot more thinking than the old one did. I did consider going along, mostly so we could take the dog in the car, but really I don’t need the risk. Yes we will have to retrain after lockdown, so be it. Staying well is the most critical thing. The light bulb we need now, the car happy dog can wait.

I also grabbed a pair of jeans yesterday. I keep hearing people say they have only work elasticated trousers since working from home so jeans won’t fit any more. Yes, I am aware that’t not quite the cause and effect Anyway I am pleased to report my jeans do still fit, they are a but loose but not terrible yet. I will keep up the good food and daily exercise and hope to have shrunk out of this size by the time I am released.
