Happy Easter

Good Friday.

Bit difficult under the circumstances to see what’s ‘good’ about it, but there you go…

Toasted hot cross buns for breakfast this morning (purchased, I’m afraid – firstly, I couldn’t be arsed making them and secondly, I’m saving my precious stock of flour for making bread) with homemade marmalade… bloody lovely – and the sun’s out, so it’s not all bad. 

Oh and Boris is out of ICU – well done, that man.

Looks like lockdown will go on for a while yet – the Govt clearly only came up with three weeks at the beginning because it sounded like a timeframe which wouldn’t frighten the horses. It was pretty obvious it would be extended to who knows when. 

I’m still not at all convinced that the Govt is taking the right line on the COVID-19 situation but the only thing to do is follow the rules, do as you’re told and it will all be over soon.

Like almost everyone else, we won’t be seeing the family this weekend, sadly. The Troops were meant to be coming for lunch tomorrow – gutted that won’t be happening now. We’ll Skype instead. Just to add insult to injury, it seems like the weather’s mocking us – it’s been so lovely the last few days but no-one is allowed out to enjoy it apart from their once daily exercise outing. I’d rather it was raining, to be honest.

Had a look at the sky last night before we went to bed – it was beautiful; cloudless and the stars were clearly visible. Looking south we found Sirius, Orion was south-westerly and Venus was giving it her all in the West – it was very grounding, really made me think how small we are. Whatever we’re doing they’re all still up there shining brightly.

Worth remembering...
