I won’t be doing much, perhaps a little shopping if there’s anything left! I wish people wouldn’t panic buy I really do.
Anyway, no I’ll be in mostly unfortunately. Might be a wet and chilly weekend so perhaps there’ll be an old film on to watch, packet of crisps, coffee and a warm water bottle and it’ll be cosy. I’m easily pleased ?“This is my simple religion. No need for temples. No need for complicated philosophy. Your own mind, your own heart is the temple. Your philosophy is simple kindness.”

Hi Willow12, I have been housebound for six years and I found that it is very important to keep occupied, otherwise you can easily start to feel down.
I found that there was only so much tidying up I could do, given that I'm not very mobile, so I eventually discovered my creative side. I paint, write short stories and poems, watch the occasional film and do a lot of research for a book I'm writing.
Let's hope the lockdown won't last for years, though for me it will probably continue. -
@Oxonlady what do you think of Bob Ross and his style of wet on wet painting? I love it but some people don’t I find.

Hi LeeCal, I quite like watching Bob Ross, he makes painting look so easy and I like how he brings a landscape to life. I also like his voice and way of presenting his subject.
What I didn't realise is that he died as long ago as 1995.
I'm hoping to get the chance to complete the canvasses I have planned before it's too late... -
Willow12, I am full of admiration for you, having six children, three with complex needs and you have health problems as well. God bless you and your family.
I only had one child and did not find it easy, I had post-natal depression for around four years as well as other health problems. There's no way I could have coped with more than one child. I admire your strength.
Have a lovely weekend. -
@oxonlady thank you very much for your kind words they really do mean alot hope you have a lovely weekend too stay safe takecare.
