Saturday 11th April
Saturday was probably the most boring day of the week. I spent the most of the saturday reading and watching films in bed.
I ended up watching Love Wedding Repeat.
Whilst I spent most of Saturday cooped up, it was also probably one of my worst days for feeling anxious and just a general fed up feeling!
Sunday 12th April
Sunday was another quiet day. I spent the morning helping my mum rearrange the freezer, as I'd complained that there wasnt anything that I wanted to eat I in there (I'm a very fussy eater). There was a lot of red meat (burgers) and sausages in there, which I don't eat and chicken, which I love, but hidden under all the other meats and couldnt find!
We now have some space in there so I can do some shopping for myself in the next week or so, as I'd also spoken to my nana and she needs some shopping which I'll do for her.
I then spent the remainder of the morning finishing off the Shadows Between Us, I love it and would definitely recommend it!
I also started my second read from my April TBR list: Hunting Prince Dracula by Kerri Maniscalco.
I then took myself to my room and started playing on The Sims 4 whilst watching Supergirl.
Monday 13th April
On Easter Monday i had a lie in till about 9.30, I hadn't slept well the previous couple of days and probably could have slept more if Barlow hadnt jumped on me!
So from the morning till the afternoon was spent in bed browsing through videos on Facebook, you know the ones where you watch one then suddenly you've spent 2 hours watching pointless videos!
I spent some of the evening texting friends in the conservatory and watched the fat pigeon sitting on our fence!
Tuesday 14th April
Tuesday morning saw me watching videos on my phone in bed (again!) for the first few hours, and then I decided I needed to go and get some food for my newly allocated freezer spot, and I'd been craving pizza for tea, so off I went to Tesco!
I felt quite anxious leaving the house and going to such a big shop, after not leaving the house for such a long time, especially considering the last time I'd gone out had only been to a small Co-OP.
But going to tesco wasnt too bad, the weather made the queuing to get into the store so much easier, otherwise I'd have probably left it till another day had it been raining!
But I adhered to all of the social distancing rules set out by the store, and i thought if this as my trial run for going to do my nans weekly shop the following day!
Once all of my shopping had been completed, I needed something to do so I got my box of paints and set myself up in the conservatory and did some more painting from my Canada Colouring book.
I started off by doing this Iris, the flower emblem for Quebec.
I then started another painting of a beach walk, as I still had a bit if green paint left and wanted to use it rather than get rid of it.
Wednesday 15th April
Wednesday saw me head to my Nana's to get her list for her shopping.
I'd been out to our local Tesco the day before and survived, but for Nana's shopping it was easier to go to her local Tesco to save on fuel!
Queueing up outside her Tesco was fine, again it was a nice day, but the people in this Tesco obviously cant read signs or unable to comprehend social distancing norms.
People going the wrong way down the one way aisles, people stopping to have a gander at the food in display causing a backlog of people, and then when you try to overtake they then move, it was a stressful morning!
Once I'd taken Nana's shopping back to her house, I then nipped to my sisters, to drop off some shopping I'd got for her both yesterday and today.
When I'd got to her house, she had just nipped out, so I had to wait in the car for her to come back.
Once natalie arrived, I popped her shopping on her drive, and had a wave from my niece and nephew I headed back home.
I then decided to carry on with my painting and completed the painting of the beach walk that I'd started the previous night, this was probably one of the more fun ones to do, as it required a lot of different colours.
As with the previous night, I still had some brown and green paint left, so I decided to have a go at painting this picture of a deer.
I might yet decide to add to the brown-ness of the deer, but overall I'm quite happy how its turned out.
Whilst I was painting, I was watching the final ever episode of Arrow. I'm not ashamed to admit it, I cried! I loved this show and loved how it spawned the other related tv shows in the Arrowverse.
Thursday 16th April
Thursday was a bit of a weird day! As of yesterday, both of the parents are now working from home. One in the conservatory and one in the dining room/kitchen.
I had a quiet morning catching up with DCs Legends of Tomorrow as I'd not caught up with some of the previous episodes of the previous season and wanted to catch up with the latest series.
I then spent the lunchtime with my mum, she said shes happy for me to sit with her whilst she works, but it feels a bit awkward as I don't want to disturb her when shes on the phone! We spent her lunch hour watching Barlow be a Houdini (he escaped through a gate on the side of the house, the previous evening!). He can get through some small spaces as can be seen below!
Below is the gate he escaped through!
I then spent the remainder of the evening watching more of DCs Legends of Tomorrow.
We also got the news that our lockdown is extending for a further 3 weeks, whilst I knew this would probably be case, especially with the number of cases of Covid19 rising, I came to the conclusion that I also need to look into doing something maybe more educational or productive with my time for the foreseeable.
Friday 17th April
Friday was spent doing not a whole lot, if I'm honest! I spent a bit of the morning sat with my mum in the conservatory reading.
I then went up to my room spent a bit of time planning out some photos that I want to try and take over the next few days for my Bookstagram.
Toward the later part of the evening my parents took Barlow to my sisters to give him a bath and to try and trim his fur a little bit, as he was a little bit knotty!
As you can see from the photo below that my sister sent, he looks a bit like a drowned rat!
Whilst we waited for the pooch to be returned, they ordered a takeaway and I spent the evening eating the takeaway and doing a virtual Harry Potter pub quiz on YouTube, which was quite fun!
I then went to bed a read quite a lot of Hunting Prince Dracula, which I was quite surprised with, as I've struggling to get into this book all week, but I'm hoping this now means I'll get quite alot of it, if not finished soon.
If anyone has any ideas for further educational/productive ideas, please feel free to let me know!
I hope you're all having a brilliant week, and staying safe
Vanessa
