Day 62 Wednesday 27th May 2020, blog started at 09.52 hrs
We are enjoying fine weather right now, and I foresee a hose pipe ban in the coming months on top of our existing lock-down woes.
On Sunday morning, I tuned into BBC 1 for their weekly church service which, on this occasion, came from Bangor Cathedral in North Wales. Thankfully, the hymns were all pre-20th century classics, recorded at a previous Songs of Praise, also from Bangor Cathedral, and spliced into the programme at the appropriate moments.
The fine weather continues. And the easing of the lock-down restrictions attracted an unprecedented number of visitors to those remote places where I like to walk which overlook where I live. Apart from my “mandatory” twenty-minute stroll around the houses, I did not leave the house; I felt as if I had walked enough last week.
I am becoming accustomed to the daily routine required by the lock-down restrictions and recommendations. The lack of noise and the opportunity to discern the sounds of nature are welcome. And it’s good that vapour trails are few and far between. But it’s amazing how any sounds carry in the early evening, as I take my nocturnal stroll. There were still people up by the quarry last night; I decided to stay within the sanctuary of the village.
It’s another fine day today, and I hope to avail myself of this glorious spring sunshine.
Thanks for reading, David 10.40hrs. Time for breakfast!
