March 31st 2020: Coronavirus Day 16

A slow and lazy morning with nothing much done, lunch in the garden - one of Peter's growing range of speciality dishes!

And then a trip to the loft to have a tidy up.  This is a long awaited event, much talked of and put off continually.   When the boys are here we can never get them to go upstairs and sanction getting rid of their stuff, mainly school books and long forgotten interests.  So we made a tentative start in one corner (mostly our stuff) and identified three piles:  charity shop, dump, keep

Stuff

It's a slow job because we have to consult with each other (and argue) and pause to read and reminisce.   

After a restoring cup of tea and a piece of fruit cake (more likely to ruin than restore!) we watched the afternoon briefing from No. 10 from which we learned nothing new.  We had a quick walk round Gill's garden and chatted to her from a safe distance as we passed her working in her vegetable plot. 

We met two couples on our way to Gill's and they were very careful about space.
