Saturday 25th April
So Saturday started of with a surprise visit from my sister, brother in law and the kids. They'd come out for their daily walk and to drop off the pasta dish from Wednesday and to give us some cake.
After they left, I updated last weeks weekly lockdown blog and set that to live.
I then spent a bit of the afternoon going through my Kindle, to see what books I had on there, as I had quite a few unread books, and a lot of samples of books that were just clogging up the home page. I also got a bit bored and played around on snapchat!
I then spent some time looking at photos on my phone, as had lockdown not been on, I should have been going to the Wales Comic Con Telford Take Over, which has been rearranged for August.
After tea, I went up to my room and decided to catch up with Zoeys Extraordinary Playlist, as I'd left it for a few weeks, so I had some to binge!
I also read a bit of the first chapter of Divergent, after watching the film the other day.
Sunday 26th April
Sunday I had a bit of a lie in, I then decided to make some american pancakes for my lunch.
I then sat outside with my mum for a bit, whilst she did some gardening.
A couple of weeks ago a friend of mine from high school, recently had a baby and was making him a lockdown scrapbook, and she asked if would do something for it, so I've been collating some of my favourite quotes from my auto-buy authors and from books I've read over my time through lockdown.
Creating the first of my quote pages, was quite nice, as I'm trying my hand at drawing, painting and lettering.
I then took Barlow out for our daily walk
We did have to cut our walk short, as it started to rain.
When I came back, we had tea and then I decided to work more on my quote project, and had Dinnerladies on in the background.
Monday 27th April
On Monday I continued on with my quote project for my friend, so far I have 4 A5 pages with 1 or 2 quotes on and drawing relating to the quote or series of book. I have a few more to do, but I need a couple of days to finish them off!
Later on in the evening I continued my Dinnerladies re-watch, if you've never seen it, I would definitely recommend it!
I also decided to do some more painting from my Canada colouring book.
Tuesday 28th April
On Tuesday I did my fortnightly shop for my nana.
I forgot some of her shopping and she wants some fresh meat so I'll have to nip out later in the week to get those bits and pieces for her.
When I got home had a bit of a tv afternoon watching The Last Kingdom on Netflix. I'm enjoying it, even if it's a bit violent!
Towards the evening I did some more painting from the Canadian colouring book.
Wednesday 29th April
On Wednesday I had a The Last Kingdom watch day, it's quite addictive! You can't just watch the one episode!
Throughout the afternoon in continued on with my Canada colouring book.
Every time I look at this one, I want doughnuts!
I like how this one has turned out!
After tea I partook in a virtual Harry Potter quiz, which was fun and a good way to pass the time.
Thursday 30th April
Thursday was my reading day! I had some of my Mills and Boon Kindle pre-orders arrive, and because my will to read this week has been at an all time low, I thought I'd have a go at reading one of them....needless to say that by the end of the day, I'd read 2 and got half way through a 3rd of those books!
At lunch time though, we had a visit from my sister, brother in law and the kids, as they were on their daily walk. As much as I love speaking to them on the phone and video call, and I know I can't hug them or anything and even though it's only for 10 minutes, I love getting these surprise visits from them, it actually makes my day!
Friday 1st May
Pinch Punch 1st of the month!
So it's the first day of may and also a full calendar month of Lockdown has ended!
Friday was a very busy day! I was out about 10ish to go to tesco
By the time I'd done all the shopping it was about dinner time, so after I'd had some lunch I did some technical work for my mum, she'd been having some issues logging into her works app, I have been helping her on and off all week with some technical issues shes been having.
After I helped her, and she had gone back to work, I went to my room and decided to take some photos for my bookstagram,
I then finished the night off by reading some more.
So that's week 5 over and done with, I hope you're all keeping well and keeping safe.
