Delicate planning – the Christmas edition
Now we’re out of lockdown and formally into Tier 2, not a lot has changed, for us at any rate. We will still minimise our contact with others, especially indoors. We will continue to think carefully about any plans. We … Continue reading
In the time of the virus: mark 2 day 22 (Friday)
Foggy and cold here, with the sun just starting to break through by 10am. I thought I had booked on to to a webinar about one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), but it seems I hadn’t. A shame. … Continue reading

In the time of the virus: making the most of self isolation
I’m thinking maybe we should make this week of self-isolation a regular thing: as a tool for getting through the ancient jobs list, it seems to be unbeatable. Of course, the way things are going it may become a regular … Continue reading

A quick post today, as I’ve been busy all day and didn’t get anything written along the way. Today was an ordinary day, which is to say that as we’re still self-isolating we must of necessity keep ourselves to ourselves. … Continue reading
In the time of the virus: 5th day of self-isolation
I’m not sure how this happened – I thought I hit the publish button on this two days ago. But clearly I didn’t. So I’ve updated it, and it really was Day 5 today (not day 3, 2h3n I first … Continue reading
In the time of the virus: the birthday weekend
What a weekend it was. It began on Friday evening and continued to Sunday evening. 48 hours of family togetherness. The sons and partners and I spent several weeks planning our first get together since Christmas, to celebrate Malcolm’s birthday. … Continue reading
In the time of the virus: birthday time

In the time of the virus: day 100
