Lockdown Diary - Friday 18th September 2020
Started the day by taking son #3 food shopping ahead of moving in to his uni flat at lunchtime. Apart from kitting him out with lots of essentials for cheap meals, I also bought him three ready meals for the first few days, on the assumption that he'd ease himself into uni living but also saying he wouldn't be able to afford to eat like that the rest of the time. He also went armed with beer and chocolate biscuits as a good way of getting to know his flatmates. When we returned from shopping it was time for him to finish packing then see if it all fitted in to the car. After doing the bulk of the packing and realising we would have room for son #2 to come along and help, it was time to give my wife her cards and presents to celebrate our 27th anniversary. It was especially good this year as when I reminded her of things from the day and also events leading up to the wedding, such as when she was getting fitted for her dress, she smiled and seemed really happy to recall...
