Friday 15 May:


Moira and I went walking after (Moira‘s) breakfast. Another sunny morning … and our usual harbourside walk, followed by coffee in the garden.
Spent a little time vaguely preparing for a brief zoom ‘interview’ with Emily Gould in connection with a Resonate poetry podcast. I feel way out of my depth, but I think there aren’t a lot of people from church who are prepared to contribute.
Spent the remainder of the morning, scribbling out a few notes in connection with my Blurb book.
Two very nice surprises in the post: first, an excellent cricket book from Alan (I know!) and, second, a book on commercial artist Tom Purvis (1888-1959)(I’d seen a television documentary featuring some of his work). Looking forward to reading them both!
As a bonus(!?), there was a wine voucher enclosed with the Book Depository’s package for a wine deal with Naked Wines… which I duly decided to take advantage of.
Moira had something of a frustrating morning trying to adjust things on our online Asda order – her laptop and/or Asda’s technology meant that what should have taken 10 minutes took well over an hour! Anyway, the Asda delivery is due first thing tomorrow (fingers crossed!).
Read my ‘Radio’ for part of the afternoon.
Later, took part in a ‘poetry’ interview with Emily Gould via zoom for a forthcoming ‘Resonate’ podcast. Felt all rather strange (what do I know about poetry?), but Emily was ‘gentle’ with me!
Tried to watch the final episode of ‘Wolf Hall’ on catch-up… only to discover that it was “no longer available”. Somewhat frustrating (to put it mildly)!
