Monday 27 April:


Returned to my dawn walking routine this morning. A three mile walk around the harbourside (via Vauxhall Bridge/Pump House/Perro’s Bridge/Gaol Ferry Steps/home) before breakfast – back home by 6.45am. A rather grey+gloomy morning and no sun (and even a hint of rain)… but, somewhat ironically, the sun appeared as I approached our front door at the end of my walk! I later discovered that I had apparently missed the opportunity to see a seal at Cumberland Basin this morning (presumably on the Avon side of the lockgates as no river traffic has been moving over recent weeks).
Mr Johnson returned to work today (amid lots of ongoing criticism of the government about it failing to act at appropriate times/lives could have been saved etc); there’s much speculation about a possible phased easing of lockdown rules… although, to be fair to me, he seems to be emphasising ‘continuation’  and that we’re in ‘moment of maximum risk’.
Completed a quick sketch in the kitchen and also finished my Tom Sharpe book (and started ‘The Virgin Suicides’).
Watched “Annie Hall” before supper with the wonderful Diane Keaton.
During the evening, we tried to watch the first episode of “Wolf Hall” (Moira had watched the series, but I hadn’t)… but there was some sort of technology issue and we had to give up (for now)!
