Thursday 25 June:


Moira and I have been in ‘lockdown’ for 100 days!
Morning coffee in the garden (both in our jimjams!)… another VERY hot day!
I’d be up early continuing to sort out our books into boxes for passing to charity (and to update the database) – long, time-consuming task… and we’ve still got the downstairs and basement bookshelves to go through yet.
No early morning walk today as I was meeting up with Mike Levine at Royal Fort Gardens (or nearby at the top of Elton Road – in the shade) to enjoy the odd glass of wine and compare our respective lockdown experiences. Despite living on his own and not having internet connection(!), he seems to be coping well.
Read some of my Wodehouse towards the end of the afternoon – too hot for much ‘activity’!
Received another online supermarket delivery... which is always good.
Last night, Bloke’s Books selected David Olusoga’s book “Black and British: a Foreign History” for discussing ‘next time’. Thanks to StorySmith, Dan duly delivered a copy to me this afternoon… and so it also seemed a good idea to check out the TV programme that was a spin-off from the book (or vice versa). So we watched the first of four episodes this evening – and very good it was too.
