A quiet day… no dawn walk (as usual on Saturdays).
Spent part of the morning reading the newspaper… and getting depressed by the government’s ‘apparent’ inability to cope (on SO many levels). Also incredibly frustrated that the ‘Party Conference’ season will mean that parliament is in recess for 3 weeks at an absolutely critical time (ie. Covid-19 and Brexit in particular) – which effectively means that parliament is unable to challenge the government’s actions (and inactions). Hugely depressing.
Spent a little time drawing a quick ‘scary’ selfie (after reading an article about conceptual artist Gillian Wearing in last week’s Guardian)… I can’t compete, but at least the ‘sitter’ does move about!
Watched some Rugby League(!) on telly briefly in the afternoon (while doing some of Moira’s ironing!)(she was aching after standing for so long).
Read some more of my ‘Wise Children’ in the afternoon too.
Coronavirus cases (and deaths) continue to rise again… and there’s a sense that we’re facing a second national lockdown. A local lockdown in the Bolton area has apparently been traced to a man who returned from holiday, failed to quarantine for 14 days and went out on a pub crawl with his mates. *no words*.
Watched another ‘Repair Shop’ and a documentary about archaeology in connection with the HS2 route out of London.
