Remembrance Day in The View from the Terrace

I was watching the Remembrance Day service at the Cenotaph yesterday morning and it seemed so strange with everyone socially distancing and, of course, the parade of the veterans cancelled. In the evening Louise and I watched They Shall not Grow Old, such a moving film. When they showed the parades of young men marching off to the war I remembered my mother telling me that she watched them as a child of 7 marching past her house and how everyone believed they would be home for Christmas.

We spent the afternoon in the garden. Something, I suspect a mouse, or even a rat has been burrowing into our plant pots and digging up some of the bulbs. We planted a few more bulbs that we had left over and put a covering of gravel. Hopefully that will deter the little bastard.

I have just been round to the shops and it was good to see everything open again. Two were putting up Christmas decorations.

Not much more to report. We are still waiting on Chris to get a letter from his work to complete the guarantor form for the flat.
