March 20th 2020: Coronavirus Day 6

There's a change of theme and background for the blog to reflect our more 'at home' life.   The seascape background was reminding me too much of Southwold!

Another day of busy doing nothing.  The days are getting shorter, not longer!  By the time we got down to breakfast it was almost 10.00am.  I, of course, had been up since 6.30 reading the news on line, messing about with the appearance of the blog and setting up various Zoom conversations.

I had a trial run of the walking group Zoom meeting with Penny and Gill and it worked really well, apart from the fact that two invitees didn't see their email. 

Peter and I went out for a short circular walk through Chapelfield Park and on the way back, Peter went into the bakers for a baguette.  The people in the queue were keeping well apart.  I got three birthday cards from the frame shop and managed without touching anything suspect. 

After lunch I went and sat in Kate's garden for a while and had a cup of tea.  Roll on warmer weather!  We were both a little chilled by the end, but it's always good to see Kate and to chat. 

Peter and I turned out one of the upper cupboards in the kitchen and that concludes the kitchen spring clean!   Next the TV room and the downstairs loo.   And there's also a large pile of ironing waiting. Mañana!

At 5.00pm we watched the Prime Ministers briefing.  Many new measures to give financial support to workers  and businesses and the closing of restaurants, bars etc. All good but the Conservatives are recasting themselves as the party of compassion!
First day off school - busy cooking! 

Abe and Saul have been busy in the kitchen today.  Looks like guacamole Saul!  Abe is in PPE (Personal Protection Equipment) but we're assured that's onion related not coronavirus!

Etty is blissfully unaware and enjoying her new balls and Pearl has been out and about as usual.
