Wednesday 29 April:

We’ve now been self-isolating for six weeks!

Started the day with our Bloke’s Prayer 7am gathering (‘attended’ by Ed, Robin, Dave, Dru, Jeff and Nick). Everyone seems to be coping well.

After breakfast, then coffee, Moira and I went on one of our regular harbourside walks – this time in the rain/drizzle – but still very good (and important for both of us).

I read more Bryson… then some of my cricket book (“The Glad Season”) – the writing style of which is truly awful (certainly on its time, 1956)!

General chores in the afternoon followed by another one of my DVDs (the excellent “Three Colours: White”).

The daily government briefing reported that a total of 26,097 people have died with coronavirus in the UK from 2 March to 28 April (for the first time, the UK-wide figure includes deaths in care homes and the community as well as hospitals).
Received a Zero Green home delivery, which was good and included flour (and rice)!!

Hannah and I ‘met up’ in the evening via zoom, which was lovely… we chatted for some 75 minutes and, for a brief time, made some rapid sketches of each other (see image!).

Then Moira and I watched another episode of the “Sewing Bee” on tv.
