Today is my birthday. So far the sun is shining and it looks like it's gearing up to be another beautiful day.
Last night the government announced further restrictions. From midnight last night until Easter Sunday, we cannot travel further than 2kms from our homes. My son (26) is now planning to return to Dublin today rather than on Tuesday. He's hoping that given the suddenness of the announcement, the gardai will allow him through: he reckons by Tuesday their attitude will have hardened and he'll be trapped indefinitely.
I'm hoping for a picnic in the back garden with a take-away from 12 Tables restaurant in Douglas - within 2kms - and a Curly Wurly cake from Cinnamon Cottage - outside 2kms. I'll ring them when they open later this morning and check if they are still serving.
There's nothing to say, nothing to report. I'm well. We're all well in this house. My extended family are well. The world looks the same. It's just the rules are changing. Just when you think you're adjusting; the rules change again.
The boys will be getting up soon. They'll come looking for me. Then I'll have to get out of bed and from that moment on I will savour every second we are together.
It's a birthday I won't forget.
