Sunday 22 March:

No church services today (or anywhere in the CofE)… Saint Stephen’s did a streamed link (I only caught a bit of it, but Lee was good value, as always).

Wrote and sent a catch-up email to Ian, Ken+Steve… before writing it, I re-read my last email to them (29 February)… and the world has changed since then(!).
I also put together a Spotify playlist - cleverly entitled "steve's coronavirus playlist #1" - which includes such apt classics as "Don't Stand So Close To Me" (The Police) and "Inside Looking Out" (Mark Hollis)!

Beautiful sunny day, so Moira and I met up with Ruth+Iris+Rosa (as a distance!) at Ashton Court for a sit in the sunshine and a snack lunch (prepared separately)… SO lovely to see and talk to them ‘direct’ as it were (see photograph). They all seemed in good form (Stu was digging his Mum’s garden).

Somewhat hilariously, given our present circumstances, I later watched “Death in Venice” - and even had a very diluted whisky (I hadn’t had a glass of whisky for probably two years or more!).
