Thursday 9 April:


Have decided to undertake more ‘dawn walks’ in future (to avoid people etc)… clearly, given Moira’s dislike of early mornings, she doesn’t want to join me! This morning’s dawn walk involved the harbourside (adjacent M-shed/cranes)(see image), across Prince Street Bridge, past Severnshed, then circling back past The Ostrich pub, Bathurst Basin and then home via Gaol Ferry Bridge. Beautiful, still morning (and, obviously, hardly anyone about). Saw what was left of the ‘Pink Moon’ as I left the house.
Spoke to Spanish friend Ana via zoom, which was good… but essentially just ‘bumbled around’ wasting time ‘catching up’ on stuff on the internet(!). Somewhat bewildered (not to say, staggered and annoyed) to discover that MPs are able to claim £10,000 for having work from home due to the coronavirus business… and that Greater Manchester Police had had to shut down 660 parties (166 street parties and 494 house parties) last weekend… don’t get me started!
Watched the National Theatre’s live-streaming of “Jane Eyre” in the evening (featuring, of course, ‘our’ Felix)… it really was a pretty amazing production.
