From Nothing to Something!

There are days ‘on hold', and this is one

Lots of odd jobs now get done;

There’s a certain stillness and few cars;

This holiday* sees busy bars!

 

Friends get in touch; they too have time

I keep up to date on line

The sky looks iffy – but no rain

Or  bright sunshine – such a pain!

My terrace needs another sweep

I wield my brush to keep it neat

Small gusts of wind cause leaves to swirl

It must be done – so, Attagirl!

 

Not all shops are closed today

Supermarkets still make hay

I think a stroll will lift my mood

As I spend time choosing food!
