Somewhat frustrating start to the day… washing machine
wouldn’t work (blown fuse?); missed hot air balloons (albeit the wind was in
the wrong direction - they were apparently a fair distance away from
Southville); and missed our smiley face skywriter (despite being close
overhead, apparently… which I mistook for a drone… looked out of the back
bedroom window, but clearly obscured from view)!
Moira and I had morning coffee in the garden – beautiful,
blue sky morning.
Met up with Ana at Ashton Court – which was lovely. I’d been
worried about her after learning that they’d decided to cancel their holiday to
Spain (in the light of quarantine measures returning to the UK and fears that
the UK borders might be closed if Covid-19 worsened). She’d been looking forward
to seeing her 90 year-old grandmother (who she is very close to)… who, during
the past few weeks had been moved into a Care Home after suffering a heart
attack… Ana was clearly worried that perhaps she wouldn’t have the opportunity
of ever seeing her again.
I eventually managed to check the washing machine and it
appears to be something rather more serious than a blown fuse!
On a more positive note, I managed to book a date for Emmaus
to come and collect our pile of discarded books!
Read more of my Lemn Sissay’s memoir.
