Zoom


It was nice to whatsapp Blogger Rachel this morning as I was cutting open avocados
We chatted about nothing for a little while and the mundane nature of the conversation was a pleasure enough after yesterday evening's passing sadness.
This evening the choir gets together via Zoom which will be an adventure in itself and moments ago Mrs Trellis left two Breakaway chocolate bars on the kitchen wall, both wrapped in kitchen paper.
Written in felt pen on the wrapping was one simple word " Trellis"
She's a legend in her her own lifetime

This morning I start painting the living room ceiling ivory.
Enjoy this little video, I was putting off the painting by making it.

  7. Such a sweet family. Painting is a great way for a fresh start. Stay safe, stay well. Facetime or Google hangouts video is you need to see a friendly face.

  21. A little piece of serenity in an otherwise chaotic world, thank you for sharing your beautiful home, garden and puppers.

  22. John, thank you for the lovely video. Good Lord, where you live is idyllic! Love the stone walls all over, and your dogs are just precious. Waiting and hoping for warmer weather (with no drama - here in Illinois changes in seasons tend to bring it!) not sure we could take it. Sheltering in place and doing some things around the house that needed the time - which we have now. Sending love to everyone!

  23. Such a comfort your three gals look, bless 'em.

    Glorious day here on the south coast too (pity about the shivery nights, though) and my lock-down necessary visit to Morrisons this morning much better than I expected, with most shelves fairly full. I expect the stockpilers have found they've got nowhere left to put any more food. Let's hope that it indicates a return to some level of sanity.
    Take care, JayGee - as though you wouldn't!

    Loved the video, your melodic narrative, Winnie, Mary, Dorothy, the beautiful shrubs, historic rock walls, and happy daffodils.

    Hope you don't get a crick in your neck or splattered glasses from painting the ceiling.

    Look after yourself, too, and take care!

    Hugs!

  25. Dotty looks like she doesn't know what to get into!!!

    Now, if we have a slumber party, could you just read a book to me all night? Hell, for the matter, the newspaper. That accent!

  26. How nice it was to pretend for a moment that the cats and I were hanging out in the garden with Winnie and family :)

  27. Stay well dear John - love to you and your 'kids' - I really enjoyed seeing your garden and the church.
    Take care if ladders are involved in the painting chores.

  28. I wonder if those lovely dogs have any idea how lucky they are? x

  29. Lovely video. Good luck with your decorating.

  30. Thank you for your video, John, it cheered me up :)

  31. You sounded so sad at the end of your little video. Sending you and the girls a hug. Heather

  32. It may be fanciful John but any little specks of ivory paint that possibly land on you whilst decorating your cosy cottage may be in fact angels telling you they are watching over you keeping you and your darlings safe x

  33. Love your little bit of paradise! The church brings back so many memories of my childhood in my own little village in Kent. It was indeed a glorious day and your beautiful fur babies out with Dad enjoying the sun. Such promise ... in such dark times. I hope your decorating is a success; painting ceilings is what I will be doing over the coming week. Plus walls, windows etc just to get a bedroom ready should we have to isolate from each other! Keep your head down one and all. Be safe, stay home.

    Love from Auckland.

  34. WhatsApp has been a lifesaver. Chatting while doing mundane chores is such a good break!
    Love the video! We’re still in the clutches of winter here. Not even daffodils.

  35. I see the furry ones are abiding by the social distancing requirements.

  36. We're using Zoom to keep in touch with all our students. Surely they're one of the few companies actually prospering as a result of this COVID craziness?

    It was so nice to see Winnie in that video. It was cute how she turned to you when you called her.

  37. Take care of yourself, too, John.

  38. I enjoyed the video so much! The dogs look wonderful and so does the sunshine. Good luck painting the ceiling - I see a sore neck in your future but I hope not too bad. Take care John.

  39. How lovely, it is certainly spring. The sunshine does us all good, the ceiling can wait.

  40. Ivory! What a wonderful color for the ceiling. I'm so freaking tired of white ceilings. My dining room ceiling is rose ivory. You have to look deep to see the touch of pink, but it's there.

    What a lovely video - so nice to see your garden and your little friends. I looked and then looked again, hoping to see Albert. He was probably out exploring by himself. You do live in the most beautiful spot on this troubled earth!

  44. Lovely little clip of the furries and your glorious garden, we are very blessed with this lovely sunshine just as we lock down aren't we. :-)
