Hello! Well Easter is with us and there\u2019s so much to look forward to over the coming days at weeks at QVC.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve had the last week or so off work and was spoilt with some glorious weather which we enjoyed whilst walking the dogs and spending time in the garden. Lots of jobs had to be done as well – including a spot of painting in the hallway and the treating of the fence panels and sheds in the garden. It ALWAYS takes longer than I anticipate! The preparation seems to take an age and then the painting was painfully slow! But, with Spotify to hand, reminiscing with old-school dance music and then a selection of today\u2019s new releases – it wasn\u2019t all bad! I do enjoy the DIY. I find it\u2019s a great distraction from everything that\u2019s going on around us.<\/p>\n
Also, since watching the BRILLIANT Queens Gambit on Netflix, we\u2019ve suddenly discovered a love of chess! It\u2019s one of those games which I liken a bit to Badminton. Pretty easy initially, to play, pick up, and understand. But, equally, one of the most challenging games too, to be really good at. We love it. I don\u2019t know about you but I\u2019m lucky if I can plan two or three moves ahead. It\u2019s a fantastic way to unwind and relax… what do you think of the current state of play in this game?<\/p>\n
