Tuesday 2 February:

Having wondered, last night (when I wasn’t feeling particularly well), whether or not I’d feel like going walking this morning… in fact, I was feeling fine (apart from my back) and so went dawn walking to the Avon Lock (actually the adjacent  flyover). I set out when the sky was pretty bleak but, happily, the sun came out by the time I arrived at the lock. Then walked back along the harbour to the Marina/Gaol Ferry Steps and then home. Glad I’d made the effort and felt duly rewarded.
When the internet was down last week, I resorted to checking out music on my laptop’s ‘Windows Media Player’ and was very pleasantly surprised by songs I hadn’t listened to for several years.
Ever since I discovered that my facebook a/c had been hacked (a fortnight or so ago?), I’d been trying to get facebook to sort things out… and, annoyingly, it proved to be VERY frustrating and unsuccessful task. I’d received SEVEN absolutely useless facebook responses (essentially involving a ‘going-round-in-circles’ exercise), but today I received an email from them that seemed more helpful saying this (and starting ‘Dear Steve’!): We’ve reviewed the profile that your friend reported and found that it isn't pretending to be you and doesn't go against our Community Standards. If you think we should take another look, please reply to  this message and let us know’. Well, at least this gave me the opportunity to ‘make my case’ in response. I look forward to receiving their reply!
I ended up deciding to colour in yesterday’s quick line sketch of tulips – it felt like playing with a colouring book (but strangely satisfying!).
Read a little more of my Clive James’ poetry book in the afternoon.
Started watching ‘Look Back In Anger’ (1959), but didn’t find quite suitable in lockdown, so gave up!
Had a worrying FB message from my friend Nikki in France (she’s got a dissection of the aorta – and they also found a large aneurism - and was rushed to hospital last Wednesday. It will almost certainly involve open heart surgery). Worrying.
Evening telly: another ‘Marple’ episode.
