Wednesday 14th April.
Although predominantly cool, outside, the weather is dry, bright, and with little threat of a downpour. Yesterday I chose to walk to Pavilion Gardens for a “coffee appointment”. And although confined to taking refreshment outside, when the sun was not obscured, it did feel pleasantly warm. My attempt to walk home was more successful than the previous day and after a small lunch, for the first time this year, I had the roof of my car down; it wasn’t unpleasant driving out to Hurdlow for a further (but very brief) walk along the High Peak Trail.
Today was a “red-letter” day; my much needed haircut happened this morning, and this afternoon, despite turning up 40 minutes late (I had got the times mixed up) I received my second Covid inoculation. That’s a relief, but once again, I couldn’t face the long up-hill walk home, and availed myself of a taxi. I may well take a nocturnal stroll through a rapidly expanding Harpur Hill.
Thursday 15th April
I did go on that evening stroll last night, but today, after taking all morning to get up, I had no inclination to go out, although I did venture beyond the front door to summon up some enthusiasm for yet more fresh air. Although bright outside, it felt cold and I decided that it might be the mild effect of a second Covid inoculation which created the lethargy I was experiencing.
Thus today, apart from a little housework and cooking, I haven’t achieved a great deal today. Tomorrow, I do have a walk scheduled for after lunch. It’s now five minutes into Friday 16th. I will write more during the weekend.
Many thanks for reading, David, 16th April, 00.06hrs.
