In the time of the virus: mark 2 day 20 (Tuesday)
Today I mostly went for a long walk, to meet up with an older family member to have flasks of coffee together on a bench by the canal. A favourite walk, one I’ve done many times, and yet I saw … Continue reading
In the time of the virus: mark 2 day 12
Just to be clear, I wrote this yesterday (Tuesday). Today is Wednesday (day 13). Well hello! Clearly I went missing over the weekend (and yesterday). Not literally – I was here all along, just a mix of busy and lazy. … Continue reading

In the time of the virus: mark 2 days 8 and 9
OK, these days were Thursday and Friday last week. I missed Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Today is Tuesday (day 12 of lockdown mark 2). I’m hoping to post again today, but will have to see. Oops, missed a day. That … Continue reading

In the time of the virus: mark 2 day 7

In the time of the virus: mark 2 day 4
It’s the weekend, different rules apply. An enjoyable relaxed time, especially after that announcement yesterday afternoon. Not a moment too soon. Concerned about what happens next, but let’s allow ourselves some time to bask in the knowledge that one particular … Continue reading
In the time of the virus: mark 2 day 2
Today I have been: Feeling: well (not to be taken for granted), busy (lots to do today), happy that the sun is shining again, nervous (about that election, and what comes next), impatient (and trying not to be), glad we … Continue reading
In the time of the virus: day 96
And here we are again on the weekly merry-go-round back at Saturday. A very different day from last Saturday – from my perspective, enjoyably cooler and showery (so no need to water anything apart from the greenhouse plants). Sadly an … Continue reading
In the time of the virus: day 92
Another relaxing relaxed day. Starting off on the allotment (while Malcolm met a friend at an RSPB site). I walked down to the river to meet up with a friend for coffee out – something previously so ordinary now such … Continue reading

In the time of the virus: day 79
Today has been a really enjoyable, productive and satisfying day. I got several jobs done around the house, including a long-overdue tidy of the room where I go to sew. Though I still can’t find my pinking shears. Bright orange, … Continue reading

In the time of the virus: day 61
Another bad night, but a good day. A walk taking in woods and two country hamlets. An afternoon snuggled with R4, knitting, and possibly a snooze. And watching the blackbird eat his way through more of the mahonia berries. Not … Continue reading
