Spent most of the morning and the first part of the afternoon putting together some images in connection with the prospective application to “Grayson’s Art Club”. Think I’ve done as much as I can for the time being.
Had intended to watch a 1941 Cary Grant film (directed by Hitchcock), but gave up after 5 minutes – couldn’t stand the macho male representation!
Read more of my Bryson travel book for the rest of the afternoon instead.
Mr Johnson duly made his Covid roadmap statement to MPs - setting out what’s been described as a “cautious approach to ensure this is the last lockdown”. First stage of his four-part plan (thank goodness they haven’t gone for ‘tiers’ again!):
1. From 8 March: All schools will open with outdoor after-school sports and activities allowed. Recreation in a public space - such as a park - will be allowed between two people, meaning they would be allowed to sit down for a coffee, drink or picnic.
2. From 29 March: Outdoor gatherings of either six people or two households will be allowed. It is understood this will include gatherings in private gardens. Outdoor sports facilities such as tennis or basketball courts will reopen and organised adult and children's sport will also return.
3. No earlier than 18 May: Most restrictions outdoors will be lifted, subject to a limit of 30 people. This is the point where people will be allowed to see their friends and family indoors subject to the meeting of two households. Pubs and restaurants, plus cinemas, theatres, sports stadiums and some other venues will re-open.
4. No earlier than 21 June: Easing of restrictions will happen, when all legal limits on social contact including weddings will be removed. Government hopes to lift restrictions on large events and performances "potentially using testing to reduce the risk of infection".
Evening telly: same old ‘Only Connect’ and ‘University Challenge’.
