Hello Fresh.

 We are halfway through our 2 week isolation period, keeping busy hasn't been easy as it's not our house but there is a large garden with a huge overhanging sycamore tree which is shedding its leaves at a black bag full a day. Chasing these windswept, shrivelled, red and golden parchments plus weeding in the borders has given us a little exercise.    

Still, a few more bags full to fall.

When not outside we have watched loads of films on Film4, last nights The BookThief and Hidden Figures being stand out favourites so far.

Family and friends offer to shop for our needs, but trying to be as self-sufficient as possible we joined the Hello Fresh recipe suppliers, we received a box of ingredients for five meals today, the first of which we are having Friday night.

The isolation police called me Tuesday from outside our house but of course, we weren't in. I expect they thought they had caught us flouting the restrictions, turned out he hadn't read our landing form correctly. He did, however, offer to bring a parcel over that had been left on our doorstep....good lad.

There had been an airbridge between IOM and Guernsey but today the Chief Minister informed us via Manx Radio that this had now been shut down as 4 residents have tested positive on Guernsey.
