Eight days in, twenty or so to go. A lot of lockdown left. Wales have already come out of theirs having gone in earlier and for a shorter period. I dunno.
Was awake at 05.15 this morning and eventually got up at 05.45. No point in lying in bed when you have had enough kip. Fitbit has me as having had 5 hrs 46 minutes sleep with a score of only 71 (Fair). I wouldn’t have said this was particularly good but I’m fully awake so hey…
When I get up this early the tea is always delivered at 06.30. I guess I could make myself some toast but am not hungry yet. Body clock I guess. Might make two pots of tea! Couple of cop cars racing by outside, sirens blaring. That’ll get everyone up:) What crime makes them rush to a scene at this time of day. RTA possibly I guess. Now that the wail of the siren has faded into the distance I can hear birds in our front garden. Blackbirds live there and I have seen starlings in the guttering above.

Been a busy day. At 4.30 I’ve downed tools and am pumping out some ABBA. Popped to Fosters for a gammon joint and some breakfast gubbins and also came away with a pork pie for tomorrow’s lunch. Then nipped to Waitrose for a few more bits including some duck a l’orange patė a portion of which was consumed on a slice of my homemade sourdough toast at lunchtime. Not had paté since last Christmas.
Anne has gone out running and I need to gear my brain up to make dinner. We are having pan fried sea bass with spuds and green beans.
Last night I watched a John Wayne movie: She Wore a Yellow Ribbon. A classic western which they wouldn’t be able to make today as the “Indians” were very much portrayed as the baddies and the US Cavalry the goodies. History has revealed that it was the other way around 🙂 I’m running out of things to watch. Few TV programmes or films are of interest. I’ve ordered a batch of books but they are notionally birthday and Christmas presents. Most of them aren’t exactly light reading. More background stuff for an interest I have in social history in Carmarthenshire. Based around my family tree research in case you are wondering.
