Wednesday 25 March:


“Bloke’s Prayer” usually forms part of my early morning Wednesday routine (seven of us meet up a harbourside café). Obviously, in the present circumstances, this can no longer happen… so we ‘got together’ via Zoom this morning instead. And, despite it being a case of (mainly) old codgers struggling to come to terms with technology, we (Jeff, Ed, Dave, Robin, Nick, Dru and I) did succeed in our venture (see image)!
Walked along the Avon as far as the suspension bridge and back in the morning (another beautiful sunny day)… not many people out and about, apart from joggers and cyclists.
Walking past Aldi this morning, it felt that a) supermarkets had become more organised about dealing with queues of customers (‘distance’ queuing and restricting numbers of customers being allowed to enter and b) customers seemed to realise that there was food available (perhaps not exactly what people wanted) and so there was no need to panic-buy.
Sketched in the garden briefly after lunch and also read for a while… and then watched “An Education” on DVD (I’d forgotten how good it was).
Lovely Ruth managed to pick up my prescriptions.
Had an abortive attempt at trying to connect with Ruth+Stu and the girls via Zoom… looks like we’ll be trying via Whatsapp instead (maybe tomorrow?).
