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 21 (Wednesday)
Thought I hit publish on this yesterday, but evidently not. Over the past few days I’ve realised that I’m struggling more with this lockdown than I did the first. Obviously because we’ve been in this for so long now, and … Continue reading

In the time of the virus: mark 2 day 14 (and 13)
Middle of the week, end of week 2 of the second lockdown in England. Will it have made enough difference by the end? I doubt it, but I do hope it will have prevented some people from getting ill (and … 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: we went away!
We were fortunate enough to go away on holiday twice this summer. Neither were the trips we’d planned; both provided a refreshing and much appreciated lift to the spirits. Each time we were uncertain whether the trip would be possible … Continue reading

In the time of the virus: week 2 of self-isolation – am I in a time warp?
Here we are at the start of our second week of self-isolation, and I’m feeling like I’ve inadvertently entered a personal time warp and am back in 2016. There were some really good bits to 2016 (our trip to Denmark, … Continue reading

In the time of the virus: day 44
Another day, another walk. Not the second leg of a circular walk around Arran, but a second circular exploration of another part of where we live. Actually a rather spectacular walk with some great views across the city. First we … Continue reading
In the time of the virus: day 33
Garden/allotment – today was the perfect day for working on the allotment and in the garden, and that’s what I spent much of the day doing (apart from the early afternoon, when it was really too hot for me to … Continue reading
In the time of the virus: day 2
