Lockdown continues

We had a good school session yesterday and spent some time drawing the sound maps based on the walk we'd done the previous day. Both Maria and Joseph enjoyed the work and it got them thinking about the sounds themselves but also their local surroundings. Joseph was trying to figure out where his friend Charlie lived in the context of his map which was focused on travelling in the opposite direction.

Whilst they got on with their work, I was able to get into the kitchen and cook a sweet potato curry.

In the afternoon I took Maisy out before going for a run in the warm sunshine, 6.5 miles and not listening to anything this time. After a quick bite to eat for tea we got into the garden and I was cutting the hedge before we took off to the allotment where we spent the evening watering the plot. The water is accessed via the communal pump which is great fun to use. We were backwards and forwards and Maria got stuck in too. The rabbits have been busy and they in evidence in the small scrapes they have dug and disappearing seedlings.

I finished listening to 'A History of Britain in 21 Great Women' on Audible. Very informative and well worth the listen. I was also listening to the latest Hilary Mantel novel about Thomas Cromwell which is superb. I also listened to Enter Shikari's latest album again. Not too bad and going to be followed by the new Sleaford Mods release.

Beach walk

 We all seem to be ill. Maria's dance showcase on Saturday evening was great but since then it has been downhill. Alison has been in bed...
