Tis a beeootiful day in Glockamorra. And Lincoln. The sun verily shineth and all that jazz. If you are ever going to be full of the joys of spring today is the day. Early to the shed looking for early worms. Sounds of life all around. Some building work somewhere within earshot, traffic on the road outside, birdsong and the Cathedral bells heralding the bottom of the hour.
In the days before people wore watches the cathedral bells would have been quite handy. Time was not so important as to be worrying about accuracy of less than 15 minutes. I like this and will see how practical it is to introduce the concept into my life.
How about removing clocks altogether? I’ll meet you at sundown. Or I’ll swing by your house when I’m ready to go for a walk or when I’m hungry. How did people order their lives without clocks?
Funny how the slow lane becomes increasingly attractive as you get older.

Over 848,000 people received covid jabs yesterday. That’s a lot of people. It’s a lot of needles. Amazing logistics. Fair play. The news today is all about speculation surrounding whether the EU will block exports of vaccines. Apaz they export to 31 countries. That’s one big diplomatic problem staring them in the face. That’s all.
A more important question of the day relates to this diary. It is a diary of Lockdown 2. Some refer to this as the third lockdown but I go by the number of times the pubs have shut. So in theory Lockdown 2 finishes on April 12th when the pubs reopen, at least for drinks in beer gardens. However golf is allowed from 31st March so is that the date I should use? Like I said. Important questions of the day.
