7:30am noticeably more cars on the road. Bit grey, drizzly and windy. Not too cold.
Jumped in the shower. Suddenly thought it smelt like a swimming pool. Then I remembered that I had put bleach in before going to bed.
Some cups of tea later - still more traffic than previous days. How very odd.
Read my digital subscription newspaper.
Again, I watch people getting their paper copy, oblivious to the risk of exposing themselves (and others). I mustn't judge, but I find myself disappointed, sad and wanting to help them all at the same time. A "Corona-evangelist" or something perhaps. No. It's so difficult when I see people multiplying the likelihood of them getting ill, spreading it, and then with the odds that they then face.
"Stay at Home". Is the newspaper to die for?
It's tough, it's so difficult. I see the lady whose husband has dementia, coming back with a newspaper (he used to get it) - it's a balanced risk for her, that's fair enough I understand that. It must be so much tougher for her. For them. Bless them.
"Smelly man" passes, going for his scratch cards. I hope he doesn't lose his life.
I managed to finish the "Codewords" puzzle in 3 minutes 33 seconds. Fastest for me yet. Pleased with that. Small pleasures.
The weather picks up, a bit of blue sky, no drizzle.
Really enjoyed our walk today. Spoke again with the lady we bump into, safely, from across the road to each other. We gave her a little puzzle to spot - "The lamp post under the bridge - what was unusual about it." She'll give us the answer tomorrow or the next time we see her. It's good that we've made a friend. It gives some continuity to the "journey" too. I suppose that's why I enjoyed our walk.
The day is punctuated with work too, but I won't' mention that.
Salad for tea. It's amazing how long radish survives in the fridge. Ours has started sprouting. Two eggs left. Four slices of bread.
We start planning a list of what foods we can get from where. Planning on using a local farm that delivers basic things.
We stood at the door applauding the heroes of this country again at 8pm. More people again!
Over to you. What excitement has your day brought?
