Lockdown Love Notes - Day 4 - 27/3/20

Is it really only Day 4 ;-)

  • My landlady texting me to make sure I'm OK
  • Ballet Fit class by Zoom - www.instagram.com/balletfitexeter currently every week night at 6, and an extra Saturday morning at 10 (not sure I can do another class just over 12 hours later!!)
  • Having a wardrobe clear out (then having to find somewhere to store what got cleared out as there is nowhere taking donations at the moment!)

Lockdown Love Notes - Day 3 - 26/3/20

Today was a more productive day, a permitted trip out for a walk round the park in the sunshine, picking up some bits for my landlords and building a bed!
  • Hearing neighbours #clapforourcarers #clapforNHS
  • A great bunch of work colleagues keeping each other (virtually) amused
  • All the rainbows on the fence of the primary school round the corner from me

Lockdown Love Notes - Day 2 - 25/3/20

Today has not been a productive day - but as I said I'm not beating my self up about that! We're in this for the long haul so it's only right that I don't peak too soon!!


  • Belated Birthday and Christmas presents arriving
  • An afternoon nap
  • Home made marmalade (made by my landlady not me!)

Lockdown Love Notes - Day 1 - 24/3/20

I've decided to do an online gratitude journal to keep the positives alive in this weird time that we're all living through!!

I will (try) and do a post every day with three things that I'm grateful for that day. Let's be honest, there will probably be days where I struggle to find any and days when I forget but I'm going to give it a go. Hopefully doing it on here will keep accountable (but I'm not going to feel guilty if I miss some!)

If you fancy joining in feel free to post in the comments!!

Day 1

  • Chocolate bars from a special friend and her family
  • Hot water and cleaning products to blitz my kitchen
  • Trying a new recipe (Frittata) and knowing it'll something I make again
Come back for Day 2!!
