March 22nd 2020: Coronavirus Day 8

Sitting down to write this the day after, we're finding it difficult to remember what we did.  Days are already sliding into each other and there's no distinction between weekday and weekend.  I wonder how long we'll keep this blog up with nothing happening.

Our list of trivial pursuits was as follows:

1. Peter snuck into the office to collect his Chinese visa so that he could photocopy it in order to claim a refund from his Chinese colleagues.  He also collected the details of his hotel in Vienna, no longer needed, so that he can cancel the reservation.
2. I planted some courgette seeds, planted some helibore plants I'd grown from Gill's seedlings, did a bit of weeding and planted some coriander seeds from Nigel.  
3. We sat in the sun for a while on the bench in the back garden.
4. Peter made Welsh rarebit for lunch and we ate in the garden.  Sunny and just warm enough
5. I started knitting a jacket for Pearl for next winter
6. We read our books and finished the crossword.
7. We talked to Eliot and Rupert
8. I talked to Caroline and emailed various friends
9. Read and sometimes responded to What'sApp groups (Liss,Adler,Watkins/LissFamilyBusiness/Knitandnatter/Pottery

We watched the prime minister's press conference at 5.0pm.  People are not keeping their distance from each other out of doors.  I think we can expect some very stringent measures soon.
