Monday 29 June:


Went dawn walking around the harbourside (regular route)… on a pretty overcast and drizzly morning (brightened up a little later). Didn’t take a single photograph!
Have decided to get a DNA test from one of those heritage websites (using the same site as Gail+Ian)… apparently, it’s going to take a little time to do the test and to receive the results, but it’s something I’ve been fascinated by and, after our recent batch of family social history ‘investigations’ via ancestry.com, now seems an appropriate time to pursue it.
Immediately after breakfast, I set up Saturday’s next Urban Sketchers ‘virtual’ event (this time we’re off to Istanbul!).
We received fruit and veg boxes from Hugo – which was lovely.
I tried to contact Emmaus (regarding book collections) but, sadly, they’re not making any collections at the present time (due to virus restrictions etc) – so who knows how long the books will sit in our hallway!
I spent a fair amount of time today trying to complete a draft version of my Covid-19 Blurb book (I’m going to limit the ‘timeframe’ to four calendar months of ‘lockdown’ – ie. up until 18 July).
Did some sketching (while listening to Lorde on Glastonbury catch-up)… shame that the real event wasn’t able to go ahead).
