Spent most
of the day trying to complete the potted family ‘history’ (hardly an academic
piece of work!) and also put together some accompanying images… almost there.
Pleased that I eventually worked a part of the family tree that had been tested
me over the past couple of days – it turned out that one of the individuals had
taken the ‘Bridgens’ name after the widowed
mother’s re-marriage (which is why I was confused)!
Moira and
I did our regular harbourside walk after lunch… beautiful sunny afternoon, but
too many people about for my liking (given the self-distancing needs).
Yesterday,
the Sunday Times published a damning report on the government’s handling of the
coronavirus crisis (Johnson missing five emergency Cobra meetings at an early,
but significant, stage of things… and the government generally ignoring pleas
from the experts). I’ve read the report in full and it is utterly devastating.
Ridiculously (and shamefully to me), the BBC has hardly made mention of the
issue on its website (I don't know about the TV or radio). I actually think it should be a resigning issue but, of
course, it’ll be brushed under the carpet and there’ll be an announcement about a future government inquiry when the dust has finally settled. Depressing.
Watched
the final of University Challenge, as you do!

you obviously can’t self-distance in a rowing eight!
