Wednesday 6 May:


Today marks seven weeks of self-isolation.
No walking today, but a busy day nevertheless…
It was the usual “Bloke’s Prayer” get together at 7am, which was good value. Much discussion about last night’s Resonate ‘meeting’.
This week’s Drawing Group theme was ‘Streetview’ (borrowing an idea from Urban Sketchers) and, as it happens, we have another Urban Sketchers meet-up this coming Saturday in Sintra, Portugal (courtesy of Marta)… there is SO much to draw there that I decided to cheat and produce an extra sketch of the location – which I spent part of the morning putting together.
Drilled holes and fixed new washing line (after battling through thick honeysuckle barrier!).
Zoom chat with Iris, Rosa and Ruth late afternoon – which is always good to do… and everyone seemed to be in pretty good spirits.
The evening produced TWO bookgroup sessions (StorySmith and Bloke’s Books) and both were really good. Hugely grateful that such things can continue during the pandemic.
Government talk about possible relaxing some of the ‘lockdown’ rules after this coming weekend? Don’t think it will actually affect us, as oldies!
