Slept in till almost 8 AM today.  Made my coffee and settled in for a daily dose of CC.  Lately, it has become more gloomy than I can take, so I stick to threads like these...thanks Dani!

 

My routine has included my usual 5 mile walk but I've added other things like cleaning out the closets and baking.

Oh and teaching myself how to craft cocktails!  My goal is to create a unique cocktail for each day we are in sequester status.  I'm calling it my own drink of the day menu.  Yesterday was the Mango Tango.  Shown below...

 

I found out Judge Judy comes on at 3:30 for an hour, so now I watch that.

 

Wander about the yard.

 

Cook some dinner

 

Go to bed

 

Start all over again...

Third week in lockdown.

 

So, instead of a port day in Zeebruge (on board of the brand new Celebrity Apex), I've cleaned the fridge....😁

 

Since we're "at risk", we didn't leave our appartment for groceries shopping -- young and gracious neighbors on the same floor are shopping for us once a week.

 

Kids/grandkids (in different cities) -- "Zooming" with them once a day.

 

Hopes that the lockdown will ease after Passover/Easter.

At 8pm tonight there is another clapping outside for the NHS nurses and doctors.

Are you doing the same in Israel?

Mmmm....I made a huge pot of chili, using homemade Mexican chili powder from scratch given to us at a cooking class we took in Mahahual in February...(outside Costa Maya) just before the shutdown came.  

 

Made me think of that wonderful last cruise and excursion.  Sigh.....

🎵 Woke up, fell out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up I noticed I was late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Made my way upstairs and had a smoke
And everybody spoke and I went into a dream...

 

Never mind, that's not my life, that's "A Day In The Life" by the Beatles. I did go on my daily 7 mile walk despite it being 35 degrees. I also played my drums for awhile. Sounds like yesterday and tomorrow! 

 

I love that song!!  Always makes me sing along while driving...(so no one can hear my awful singing voice!  😉 ).  

 

Oh no...now that song is stuck in my head!! 😵 Thanks Dave!!

Sorry Pat. When I'm playing my drums to a song no one can hear me singing either. That's a good thing as I can't even carry a tune in a bucket. 😎

Drats....just made the last of it for lunch today.  Have to make another batch then...yeah...bring those Margaritas!  Can do the straight shots too.  🥤

 

Now lets talk about all those beans...which gives us automatic "social distancing" excuse.  😄 😄
