Bright
but breezy. Morning coffee in the house this morning (a bit too nippy for
basking outside!). Finished my Billy Bragg ‘extended essay’ and then tuned into
the Saint Stephen’s/Holy Trinity church community live stream (interesting
seeing the names of other participants appearing at the side of the screen).
Lee Barnes is very good at this sort of thing.
Caught up
on various emails (Tom Tippetts plus Steve/Age/John+John) and also took a
catch-up phone call from Mike Levene (one of my ‘Tory friends!). Mike is a
little older than me (a retired professor living in North Bristol), but he
relies entirely on meeting up with people (difficult/impossible at present) and
his landline telephone; he doesn’t have a mobile or access
to the internet… so I think he must be rather struggling at present. I’ve
agreed to phone him in due course to see how he’s faring.
Moira+I
walked a circuit past Bathurst Basin, The Ostrich, St Mary Redcliffe and then
back down Guinea Street before re-joining Gaol Ferry Bridge. Pleasant, but a
biting wind. Some people (or maybe it’s just children?) are taking the idea of
daily fitness pretty seriously (see image).
Sketched
at the end of the afternoon (I’ve been set a challenge by Urban Sketching
co-ordinators to produce stuff in the style of Stephen Quiller (never come
across him!) and Paul Nash… so it should be interesting (and/or painful!).
Watched “I’ve
Loved You So Long” DVD later.
