Coronavirus Lockdown Day 10

It really has been a wonderful Autumn to date, warm sunny days and cool clear nights.
It is a real tease considering our incarnation but lovely while it lasts.
More varnishing almost finished!
Thanks to Claudia Myatt forthis evocative scene

Coronavirus Lockdown Day 9

It must be “Groundhog Day” as I awaken to another glorious Autumn day..long my it continue.
Not much to report more of a domestic day, cooked up some chickpeas and made hummus and helped tidy the kitchen cupboards.
Cleaned up the boat squabs which now smell much better!
Number One Son gave me a No.3 razor cut sitting outside in the sun, it’s the small things that count towards normality.

Coronavirus Lockdown Day 8

Another sensational day has dawned, its such a tease as I had planned to be away sailing on Lake Rotoi and the weather has been perfect!
A 10km bike ride yesterday was my outside exercise and more varnishing was my quiet time.
I have started rereading Laurie Lee’s wonderful “As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning “ I’ve always enjoyed his descriptive prose first read as a schoolboy.
