Lockdown 3: goodbye January!
Never has January had so many days. It seemed endless. But here we are, now it’s behind us. Signs of spring are with us, and the days are noticeably longer. We can get through this. The good things (for me) … Continue reading
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 23 (Sunday)
Foggy foggy day. We took our flasks and buns for a walk to the top of a hill to see the view. There was no view (of course), though it gradually revealed itself to us as we sat and chatted … 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: 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 19 (Monday)
Lots of pottering around catching up with household jobs, and cooking. A local walk down to the river and back, this time together. Best of all, another baby (7th grandchild for our friends in Denmark, and their first boy). While … 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
So – end of week 1 of our second lockdown. For the likes of me, not so bad. The restrictions are relatively minor, compared to the potential good. But. For many many others, really really hard. Imagine being at home … Continue reading
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
