It's early evening here - the weekend is almost half over, but time doesn't fly when you're not really enjoying yourself. The days are getting longer, but so far not much warmer.
Temperatures were forecast to rise to the dizzy heights of 20C (68F) in the south of England, and the government told us all to stay home and not flock to beaches and parks for fear of spreading the virus further. However, it only got to the dizzy depth of about 12C here (54-ishF?) so, on the correct assumption that I would be pretty much alone I took a long walk this afternoon. When I passed a friend's house, I found him watering the daffodils and tulips in tubs in his front garden. So it was nice to have a chat even at at a distance of about 10 feet.
I've been asked to help edit a journal for the local Civic Trust, so I might get some mental stimulation soon!
