    With more free time and getting up at silly o’clock, I decided to look at photography more.

    Here are some pictures of the moon and I think I caught Jupiter in the second one.

    Claire doing well.

    Standing on the dining room roof, not a bad view for a built up area, don’t you think?

    Claire decided that our chairs were getting uncomfortable, so we took a trip to DFS after doing some research online, we had liked this model the Talbot.

    Of course I had to test it out, the sales assistant actually had to unwrap all the electric as it only been in the store three days, obviously no one else had test driven it.

    So went into full recline mode. Even has a USB socket for your phone.

    We decided to purchase, of course Covid19 will have it say, so watch this space, for the update.

    The bench that I had done my first DIY project, decided to break. We visited Polhill and ordered a new bench, we were told four to five weeks delivery, of course due to Covid19, so I was a bit shocked to be opening the door less than a week later, with a delivery driver asking where he could put the bench parts.

    After I took it through from the front drive to the garden and unpacking everything. I soon realise there was an issue, even with my new found DIY skills, the instructions were not great and there were no holes where the screws needed to go.  The bench wasn’t cheap, so I rang Polhill and said could I wait till tomorrow for someone to come out. I had no issue with that.

    The next day they turned up and said they love working with the supplier, but they are not really customer focused, even the two guys struggled putting it together, so that put my mind at rest and kept Claire quiet too. ?

    I could hear a lot of squawking going on, so I knew parakeets were around and captured this one in the tree.

    I thought that would be the best I would get.

    Can you see me?

    Then for the first and so far only time, I was lucky to get pictures of them in our bird area.

    Hope you like?
