Saturday 18 April:


It rained for much of the day… which must make it all the more difficult for families living in small homes. Neither of us actually ventured out of the house all day!
As part of my project to throw more light on our ‘family history’, I spent much of the day going round in circles trying to unravel all sorts of family secrets (it’s an utterly absorbing and frustrating process). Needless to say, I failed miserably – so a bit like Friday’s experiences!
My Urban Sketching group had a virtual ‘meet-up’ via various live-cams (all based within game reserves, hides or zoos)… not my subject matter of choice (understatement!), but I did manage to produce some quick felt-tip images as a rather half-hearted gesture.
Went to bed relatively early and, of course, woke up just after 1am and couldn’t get back to sleep (it happens an awful lot these days – and nothing to do with the virus!).
Ruth ‘delivered’ some tinned tomatoes, coffee and more of her special hearts (she’s given us one for every day of our self-isolation… so lovely to see her – even at a distance.
