We cleaned the sitting room and the study, so that completes our leisurely tour of downstairs. We had lunch in the garden again soaking up the sun and topping up our vitamin D. We talked to Eliot. They are getting into a routine with a morning run/cycle and a home schooling session. Nancy is on standby to go into school to look after key workers' children, but hasn't been called yet. Instead on the days she is supposed to work she is putting maths puzzles online for the children at home.
In the afternoon I had a zoom session with Tania and Pearl and Laura and Etty which we have called Story Time. I read them a story and did some really bad singing! Etty waved her spoon and Pearl looked thoughtful. There were a few technical hitches, but we'll get better at it. It was lovely to see them both. Pearl asked where Grandpa was, which delighted him, and he hurried to the kitchen to put in an appearance! Tania did a screen shot for us!
We walked round Gill's garden again at about 5.00. Three laps and one jogging lap! In the evening I watched a couple of episodes on Netflix of a show called 'Unorthodox' about a girl who escapes from an orthodox family in New York and goes to Berlin. Not sure if I liked it.
At last I've finished the book I'm reading, 'The Sparsholt Affair' by Alan Hollingsworth. It's the book club book and I'm rather sorry I recommended it. I don't expect there'll be a very positive reaction. Apart from the subject matter (rather promiscuous gay, male relationships and the artistic scene of the 30s onwards) which some people may not enjoy, the story line is rather disappointing and doesn't really get anywhere. Rather too many characters and not much happening!
