Friday 5 March:

Despite the unpromising weather forecast (but, hey, only cloudy – NOT rain!), I decided to defer my daily weekday walk until the afternoon… partly so that I could watch some cricket and partly because I fancied getting outside to sketch again (when it would apparently be 5 degrees warmer than the morning!).
The first part of this cunning plan didn’t really work out well… despite a reasonable start by the England bowlers, India finished the day 89 runs ahead with 3 wickets left (Bess was hugely disappointing – no consistency in line or length etc).
Moira and I enjoyed our usual morning coffee – although a little later than usual (after Moira had breakfasted, bathed and collected stuff from Boots on North Street).
I ended up walking to Pooles Wharf to sketch immediately after lunch… wearing LOTS of layers, woolly hat, scarf and fingerless glove on my drawing hand and, fortunately, reasonably sheltered from the wind etc.
Evening telly: ‘Art Club’ (which I really do love).
