By the way, I'm going to be tagging posts which mention The Situation with 'covid-19', so if you are trying to avoid an overload, that should help.

I'm trying to do a bit in the garden, after our home yoga sessions. So I'm doing small, manageable pieces. In my two sessions so far I have weeded, dug and added compost to three of the cold frames. I suppose the next project might be the odd-shaped potato patch. I'm not really a gardener, but I can do a bit of grunt work, and it adds to the exercise regimen. I don't think FIL can manage it any more, and if I want there to be fresh veg this summer—which I do—I'm going to have to put in some forkwork. In truth, I'm not sure how much of a contribution it will be to FIL's wellbeing and activities, as he is able to do less and less. And apparently does not have the sense to take off his jacket when he is too hot, but that's another matter.

Are you getting dressed, these days? I've been reading things by people who stay in their pyjamas all day, even for work meetings, or are not wearing anything but underwear on their bottom half, or whatever… I'm sticking to my usual routine of putting on fresh and reasonably respectable clothes—not even going with the elasticated waist yoga pants, at least not very often. Like the discipline of exercising at ten in the morning, it's good for me. I'm fortunate to have a Beast about the place, because without him it would be so very easy to lapse into a loafish state.

This site appears to be Good News About Covid-19 That You May Not Have Seen. So, yay?

I've been embroidering on a rather exciting piece of textured felt that I bought quite a while back. It's basically done, and I want to mount it against a rich dark orange sari which I have had for years (it used to be a window embellishment). But I can't find the sari.
So your question for today is, where did I put that sari material? Suggestions welcome!

the sari material is in a box (or bag) at the bag of a closet or under a bed

I'm guessing...in a box so it won't get dirty or dusty and put away on a shelf or in a closet for safekeeping.

I have looked through all the boxes of craft fabric that I can find, alas to no avail. And I checked the attic but found only chorus costumes.

I love having fresh homegrown veggies, but man, you put the effort in for them.
As for the sari, I suspect your kitties are using it on a night when they go out on the tiles. They share it, and argue who looks the best wrapped in the rich fabric.

Your answer is the best answer! I like this answer! Sable and Princess Fluffykins sport themselves through the night wrapped in sari orange!

If I want to have veggies this summer, I need to get some seeds in! And weed those beds so I've a place to put them. Oh, the neverendings. . .
I vote the sari is in the bottom drawer of your desk. Why? Why not. *g*
no subject
I looked in the bottom drawer and all the other drawers too, as it must be *somewhere*, but no. *woe*

I am getting dressed, though I'm allowing myself to wear more casual clothes than I would have worn into the office. But taking a shower and putting on clothes that I could be seen in in public are key to starting the day off well, for me.
no subject
I kinda feel I need to dress respectably atm, even though on my usual not-going-out days I would wear the oldest and ratties T-shirts!

Good luck with the garden work! And with finding that sari! Have you checked all cupboards and wardrobes in the spare bedrooms?
no subject
We have surprisingly few cupboards in this house, but there doesn't seem to be any sign of the sari - nor the elusive blue duvet set - in any of them. I don't understaaaaand!

(I admire you for not giving in to the yoga pants, however. You've got a will of iron.)
