No dawn walk – as is now the Saturday tradition. I went our early to get a newspaper and also some eggs (+nectarines) from Hugo’s. It’s a pretty small shop and, with all its boxes of loose fruit and veg, it’s sometimes quite tricky to manoeuvre around other shoppers… so with Covid-safety guidelines in place, it’s been quite nice that they only allow two customers in the shop at a time. This also has its downsides too, of course… today, I was fourth in the queue and the first two shoppers seemed to take ‘some time’ in putting together their diverse collection of goodies. But, hey, they say that patience is a virtue!
The newspapers and media are all reporting about Trump’s positive coronavirus test and speculating on what effect this might have on the forthcoming election (in 31 days’ time, I think).
I was due to be meeting up at College Green today for some ‘live’ drawing with some urban sketching friends but, given the grim weather forecast, it’s been decided to ‘keep things virtual’ instead. In the event, not many ‘turned up’ (perhaps 8?)… but it was good fun (and it DID rain, so it was a sensible decision to keep it ‘virtual’).
Afternoon/evening telly: ‘The Cruel Sea’ and a bit of an old ‘Midsomer Murders’.
