Usual morning coffee – M+I reflecting on how bleak this time of year is for a lot of people and how Covid makes it so much worse.
Moira managed to speak to both Ru and Dave. Ru was working at the Southville Centre (but reckoned that the girls were in better form than of late, which is good)(they’ve apparently been very grumpy and bored by home school and not being able to see their friends). Dave reckoned he’d now recovered from Covid and that Jemima was more or less better (they’re pretty sure she’d tested positive, but STILL hadn’t received any formal confirmation – but she was obviously isolating anyway). J isn’t able to go to sleep without somebody being with her (this has been going on some time)… so she and Dave end up sleeping in the living room (poor old Dave!). Alice is still struggling (rapid heart rate – she’s being put on beata-blockers) and is very depressed. Dave wondered if Alice should come and stay in Bristol once she’s recovered from Covid (and once we’ve been vaccinated).
I spent a fair amount of the morning preparing for the forthcoming USk ‘Rio’ Event (will post something online tomorrow perhaps?) and also preparing some initial text for my Blurb book (difficult to know how much text should be included – but feel it needs more poltical context than last time perhaps?).
My new sketchbooks arrived in the post AND we received a John Lewis delivery (candles, salt+pepper grinders and tea-infuser)… which was good news.
I watched the 1949 version of ‘Whisky Galore’ in the afternoon – enjoyed it more than the more recent version (less ‘professional’ and black+white!).
Evening telly: another ‘Cornwall’ and our ‘Miss Marple’ boxset (again!).
