A pretty
full-on day (in these so-called ‘leisure’ times!)…
I went
for a dawn walk (via North Street, Ashton Avenue Bridge, harbourside, Gaol
Ferry Steps, home); beautiful, still morning and, as one would expect at
6.15am, hardly anyone about.
Returned
home, had breakfast and caught up with various ‘admin’ tasks.
Moira and
I had coffee in the garden and then I read until lunchtime.
I’d
organised (in conjunction with Jennifer) a virtual urban sketching meet-up in
Taipei (Jen’s home city) for early afternoon which, despite some initial technical
issues, went really well (13 of us connected at the concluding zoom get-together
– and there were others sketchers who didn’t ‘zoom’). Everyone seems keen to
repeat such events on a regular basis (an ‘English village’ has been suggested
for next time).

Taipei sketch.
At
5.30pm, Moira and I ‘got together’ with Merry Carol, Gerry, Gareth and Alan via
zoom – it was really good to catch up. It would be good to repeat it at
fairly regular intervals.
During
supper, Moira and I watched the last episode of ‘Portrait Artist of the Year’ –
where the winner was commissioned to paint the portrait of Nile Rogers (pop
icon). We’ve really enjoyed the series and now feel somewhat ‘in mourning’ (and
that it’s left a gap in our daily routines).
