Went on a
long dawn walk this morning… beside the Avon, up through Leigh Woods to the
suspension bridge and then back home via Ashton Court (through woodland).
Absolutely beautiful (in gorgeous weather)… and so pleased I did it (I’d undertaken
a somewhat similar walk at the beginning of lockdown). Home by 7.05am for coffee+breakfast.
Great start to the day.
Spent the
rest of the morning a) trying to get my head around the government’s latest
rules (some lockdown rules are being eased at the beginning of July) and b)
putting together a draft statement for issuing to the PCC alongside the
consultants’ report on the church re-ordering.
Then,
somewhat weirdly, I received a letter from the Health Secretary. It seems I’m
clinically regarded as ‘extremely vulnerable’ and, as such (unlike mere ‘vulnerables’),
our situation – Moira is in the ‘vulnerable’ category, but we’ve decided to
adopt a single lockdown strategy! – will remain more or less unchanged, even
from the start of August (when some people will be allowed to create ‘support
bubbles’ with one other household). Sadly, it means that we won’t have any
opportunity to hug family members, other than each other, for the foreseeable
future… which is very sad.
Ruth
called in to collect stuff for posting at the post office (so we had a brief
chat with her and the girls on the pavement).
Read a
bit of Wodehouse before watching the second episode of “The Art of Persia”.
