Sunday 26 April:

Another sunny day (and, as yesterday, I didn’t go out walking)…

Slightly strange day – with lots of different bits and pieces. Read another Bryson chapter and also continued with my Tom Sharpe book.

Logged on to church – and tuned in to the recorded service (which was fine but somehow felt rather remote – probably just me though).

Also experimented by checking the Portrait of the Artist’s facebook page. Alice had emailed me with the link and suggested I might like to be involved (SkyArts are setting up a weekly model over the next four weeks – and inviting ‘viewers’ to produce and contribute their own drawings/paintings. Somewhat disappointing in the event because the facebook site simply consisted on half a dozen photographs for people to copy - today it was Mayor Gord MacLeod(?). I duly had a ‘bash’ (but not very successful – looked nothing like him - see image); took me approx. 90 minutes.

Moira and I had lunch in the garden.

Hannah had organised a ‘zoomcrafting’ family get together (I can’t actually remember what she’d called it, but nevermind). I endeavoured to join in – sketching some kitchen odds and ends – but I think our router found it a little too difficult to achieve a consistent link from that end of the house, so I ended up opting out (which was a shame).

Ken had emailed Steve, Ian and me… and so I spent some time during the course of the afternoon responding (we are all clearly missing our BABE’s meet-ups!); great to catch up.

Music has been very important during this time and I've (this far) compiled three playlists - which I seem to be playing an awful lot of the time (but which I'm finding very nourishing).

Finished watching ‘Twelfth Night’ in the evening.
