Moira
and I went a wet (well drizzly) walk before streamed church. Frances led the
service – which I always find a little frustrating – and Richard gave the talk.
Slightly annoying that they chose to take the 2minutes silence at 10.50am
rather than at 11am like the rest of the country. Despite the streaming, the
timings could easily have been adjusted…
Spent
the rest of the morning and some of the afternoon digesting the newspapers
(Observer and Sunday Times) after the Biden victory. Trump was given pretty
short shrift by both newspapers.
Finished
my 'virtual' Salcombe sketch (via google streetview) in the afternoon, before watching a documentary on An San
Suchi (essentially about her downfall).
Had a lovely telephone chat with Alice (she seemed in very good form)... and also spent some time responding to Lee's re-ordering email.
Early
evening saw another BABEs get together – which ended up as a huge reflection on
the outcome of the US presidential election (lots of relief!)… and family
updates, of course.
Early
bedtime… to read.
Villa beat Arsenal away 3-0!

Diary of random thoughts and observations from the perspective of self-isolation/distancing... I don’t actually know what lies ahead of us… but it could get pretty awful over the coming days/weeks/months. ‘Old people’, like me, will be first group that the government asks to self-isolate. Obviously, as far as possible, we need to prepare – both practically and mentally. I’ve decided that I need this outlet for my reflections during the course of our days of isolation. March 2020
