Thursday 4 March:

Had originally planned a dawn walk through Leigh Wood/along the Avon, but it was so grey and dull that I thought better of it… and ended up just doing my ‘usual’ harbourside circuit.
I’d watched a little cricket on the telly very first thing (and, once again, it was all a bit disastrous as far as England were concerned - 30-3 when I first tuned in… and ending up all out 205).
Noticed a mass of seagulls behaving rather strangely – and then saw the reason why (it was a drone!). I tried to take some rapid pics but, sadly, they all came out blurred!
Collected a book from StorySmith and some fruit+veg from Hugo’s… before taking in the Asda delivery just after lunch.
Ru worked in the studio from 11am to past 4pm.
Went to post office in afternoon to drop off Jeremy’s pre-paid parcel… it transpired that I was 17^th in the queue(!) and there was just a single cashier operating. Needless to say, it took an AWFUL long time to get served (if ONLY my package had been small enough to have posted in the postbox!!). Hey ho!
Spoke to Iris by phone towards the end of the afternoon – and she seemed fine… she’s very much looking forward to returning to school (her year go back next Wednesday for Covid testing), but has enjoyed meeting up with individual friends for occasional walks. I also managed to chat to Rosa a little later (again, she sounded in good form – but was ‘dreading’ going back to school… we chatted about this and, hopefully, she’s now feeling a little more positive).
Evening telly: ‘McDonald+Dodds’ (crime-solvers!).
