No dawn walk, but just a trip to fetch the Saturday newspaper and to pick up some fruit+veg from Hugo’s.
Morning coffee with Moira over the Guardian…
Started a quick ‘virtual’ sketch in Salcombe(!), but didn’t finish it…
Spent a fair amount of the afternoon reading my Fifty Fifty book…
BUT, frankly, I seemed to spend most of the day desperately checking various news channels for confirmation (or otherwise) of Biden’s victory in the US presidential election.
CNN eventually reported (towards the end of the afternoon GMT) that Biden had passed the 270 seat barrier and was to become the next president. Incredibly (and yet utterly predictably), Trump refused to accept the result and angrily resolved to make legal challenges first thing on Monday morning! He’s SUCH a bad loser! Meanwhile, there was a huge, tangible sense of relief in America (and, frankly, across the world) as people responded to the end of Trump’s narcissistic bigotry. The trouble is, of course, that Trump remains president for the next 76 days – so there’s still a sense of ‘anything can happen’!
Evening telly: ‘Pipers of the Trenches’ and ‘Being Frank’ (about BBC correspondent Frank Gardner) documentaries before more bedtime reading.
