In these days when we are staying home to keep each other safe I am doing a few things that I don’t normally do enough of. One of the things I did when I logged of my home office the other day was to go to find a coloring book that I bought on one of my travels. I was going to try coloring when I got this a few years ago, but I never got around to trying it. I used to love coloring in as a child and have now discovered that I still enjoy it. With this book I can travel even if we are not allowed to travel for a while.
Normally I eat lunch at my work and don’t need a big dinner when I get home. Now I have to make all the meals myself and as we are advised to not go to the shop to often, I have tried making a few different things. Today I had a few bananas that were about to turn brown, so I decided to make a few banana pancakes. I put in bananas, oatmeal, egg, a drop of honey and a splash of milk. They turned out quite nice if I must say so myself.
One of the things that we are encouraged to continue doing is to go outside and go for walks, as long as we don’t walk near others and keep at least one meter distance for the people you see. We have a lot of areas that we can walk and there is plenty of space for all of us. As the sun was shining today we went for a good long walk after work and enjoyed some fresh air.
Hope you are all staying safe too.

The thoughts and life of me 
Terrific idea – enjoy the outdoors and fresh air in places that offer you space – those pancakes looked great as well!
Thank you, I will make them again! Fresh air is essential to me to keep me semi-sane
I love coloring. It’s one of the things that calms me when I have flare ups.
It is very calming! I’m falling back in love with it again now.
Those pancakes look really delicious, M.
And enjoy your colouring – there’s something special about colour, very relaxing!
Thank you, I did enjoy them and the coloring!
I used to love coloring, too! My neighborhood’s not that good for walking. We don’t have sidewalks and there’s an obnoxious Johnny-Come-Lately dog that seems to think he owns it when you walk past his fence and is always running off at the face.
Happy solitude to you.
Hope you get the chance to get some air even if you don’t have a great neighbourhood for walking in. Stay safe
Yes, I walked by once when he was in the back yard, lol. And I can walk the other way, I guess. But it’s kind of a cul-de-sac so there’s only one way out.
You stay safe as well.
I have friends that color! They love it!
I quite enjoy it 🙂 Hope you are staying safe
Thank you, and so far yes. Be safe yourself 🙂
Doing my best to keep safe
❤️👼
The pancakes look yummy! I have no bananas and can’t go get any so I’ll have to make do with banana bread from the freezer. I have soooo much to keep me busy including garden work, blog reading and lots and lots of sewing. Walking outside is extra special now. I hate being trapped at home but at least I have my daughter working from home as well as most of her office mates. Hang in there and hope it’s all over before your coloring book is finished. 😉
Thank you Marlene and glad to hear you are keeping busy and safe!
It is fortunate to live near walkable outside beauty.
Yes, very much so!
If we weren’t quarantined, I’d say I’d be right over to sample your yummy looking banana pancakes! 🙂
When this is over you are welcome any time!
Those pancake looks delicious !! Stay safe !!! 🌹
Thank you they where! Stay safe ❤
