I had the day off work today; I spent probably too much of it playing Paper Mario, but I did do some sorting out of mess in my flat, and got a chapter or so of my book written (I edit as I write because I spot plot holes and continuity errors forming ( Read more... )

Okay, so despite the worry that Boris would make us all cancel our holidays, it seems that we can still go; the big thing now is that if you're walking around in a restaurant, you have to wear a mask, so I'll have to make sure I do so, or face a £200 fine ( Read more... )

Boris has laid down some changes to the rules tonight; so we're going back to not being able to meet up in groups of no more than six, but apparently sports teams/clubs are exempt, so presumably there will be no affect on taekwon-do classes, but we will presumably need to cut down the number going on Stag Walkers rambles again ( Read more... )

I'm going to have to post about my dreams this morning ( Read more... )

I was supposed to be on a call with some colleagues tonight, just to have a catch up; one of the guys wasn't feeling up to it, so we've postponed until next week.

I took a morning walk, because I wanted to explore the field I mentioned last week; this one:

Shopping today was a hassle; I also could hardly believe that a member of staff in the shop, who looked like a floor manager, of all people, didn't know that when you wear a mask to stop yourself spreading Coronavirus, it's supposed to go over, not under, your nose. So many people don't realise how they breathe ( Read more... )

Definitely hugging is something I miss, because of not being able to do it now because of Coronavirus fears ( Read more... )
