Well here we are,
In lockdown once more!
As I arise each day
I am grateful for that,
As I realise I am still here.
Downstairs I go
And switch things on.
The music always comes first,
Then the computer,
Reading poems from my friends.
I then write something.
By this time it is nearly seven,
So breakfast is eaten,
Tea is made,
Drink some tea.
Change into outdoor clothes
Down to My River I go,
Walk beside it in glory
And wonder.
Pick up Newspaper on the way home.
Indoors.
Finish cup of tea,
Upstairs to do ablutions.
Clean and dressed
Ready for the adventures of the day.
The plan has been made.
Make some coffee,
Sit down and listen to music
In my ever busy day.
Stop for lunch.
Sit down once more with a cup of tea
And music playing as ever.
And then it is near dinner time,
So dinner is prepared
And eaten with a glass of wine.
Put crockery in the dishwasher
Pour out another cup of tea,
Sit down, exhausted.
The music plays,
Then the end comes to my day,
My oh so busy day,
So off to bed I go
Ready to enjoy the next day,
The next day tomorrow.
Such an exciting life,
In this lockdown.

Good write Gold.
I'm not nipping to the River much this season.
Thanks Orchi, I am trying to go every day.

Brrrr! Some days anyway. I wouldn't enjoy it those days I wouldn't see much, as I would be galloping on the walk, to get home quicker. Am I on a horse then? Did we ramble in 1066?
What a perfect day Andy, perfectly timed, perfectly balanced, well planned, well paced - It's hard to believe you would wish for more.... What could that possibly be?
Dave
Thank you Dave - more coffee.
Andy
thank you for this fascinating insight into your daily rituals and routine Andy .... I am glad on your behalf sir ... stay safe n well now ya hear ... N
There are probably many who are living like this at the moment but I do have other things that I am grateful to be able to do as well.
Andy
All that tea and no mention of prostate.
You are far more organised than me sir.
No, no mention of prostate as I use Kenyan Tea.

A fine and well-planned day that lightens the lock-down by being so grateful for small mercies dear friend. - - thank you for sharing it with us.
Thank you Fay. I actually do a lot more than that but music is always playing in the house.
Andy
thank you for sharing these priceless nuggets of a simple life's: majesty,
only available to those who have taken time to cultivate that endless source of solace: mined from within...
that mine is very deep now but there is still a long way to go.

Ahhh humanity's Deja Vu of life haha.. What must be repeated everyday with a touch of wine added (especially red wine). to the end of day to complete it's day of art ha ha..
Well painted Gold it's a lovely routine as appreciating what bring to our day and enjoying the dimple things in life even if it's doing over and over again n. That's what I feel is the beauty of life. I myself live my life the same with my little girl and all she wants lol
Thanks for sharing and keep inspiring 🤗
Thank you for your Kindwords Nancy. We must keep sane in these times and all we can do is the best we can. Even in these times life is still wonderful and you are right the occasional glass of red wine helps.
May you and your little girl keep safe and happy.
Andy
