Tuesday 30 November:

Up early, as usual… had a bath.
Collected my prescriptions ‘first thing’ (around 9.00am)… they’re clearly struggling staff-wise (should have opened at 8am). Once again, my statins weren’t included (“come and collect them in 5 days’ time”!).
I walked across town to the pharmacy on day#1 of mandatory face-masks… good to see that there were far more bus passengers wearing masks but, even though the buses were relatively empty, it seemed that there were always some 25% who weren’t complying (ok, an improvement on my recent on-bus experiences when the figure was nearer 95-97%, but…). Oh, and surprise surprise, these tended to be those ‘invincible’, ‘rules-don’t-apply-to-me’ twenty-something males.
A ‘busy’ day of zooming (Alice+Moira in the morning and Alan in the evening).
Alice explained that, in the light of Mima’s ongoing anxiety issues, they’ve decided to home school her from the start of the New Year. Brave decision, but sensible if it makes things better for M in the medium-/long-term.
Sketched some freasias in the house in the afternoon (and also read).
Good chat with Alan… still lots of frustrations with Lesley’s shoulder issues (getting someone to analyse the scans seems to be a big problem?). Talked about our respective Christmas plans (with fingers firmly crossed that things don’t have to be cancelled).
