Went for
my regular harbourside dawn walk but, unlike the amazing weather we’ve enjoyed
for most of lockdown to date, this morning’s weather was miserably wet… and it
continued to rain throughout the day. Having said that, I really enjoyed my
walk; I was dressed in all my waterproofs and therefore remained perfectly dry.
Morning
coffee with Moira inside (obviously!).
The
Premier League football games re-started last night – teams playing in empty
stadiums. Villa fought out a goalless draw against Sheffield United (who had an
obvious goal disallowed, despite having crossed the goal-line; VAR failed to
spot it!). Although Villa probably should have won the game, the point might be
important at the end of the season.
Spent a
brief time checking out another ‘virtual’ urban sketching location for
Saturday’s session in the Alhambra and then wrote some more H+C notes in
advance of July’s PCC meeting (Lee and I also exchanged ideas at the end of the
afternoon).
Read some
more of my Will Dean book and then sketched out a grid for another possible
version of Megan/Adam’s Birmingham drawing (I’m still not convinced).
Had a
very nice email from Jeff (Bloke’s Prayer) and also one from David Shorey
(Sally hasn’t been at all well – ‘deep drain bleed’ which is effectively a
stroke). I responded to both.
Tried to
ring Iris, then Rosa (but got voicemails), but DID manage to get to speak to
Dan (in advance of ManU’s game on Saturday). Football seems to be the only
thing he’s really interested in/prepared to chat about!
Received
a lovely Father’s day card from Hannah (for this Sunday).
Watched the
first episode a rather lovely documentary “Art of Persia”.
