Woke up this morning to a blue sky, which is a nice change. Far too much heavy greyness. Still very cold, though. Thin layer of frost on windscreens: of course it’s a week since we’ve been out in the car. Listened to the latest Rolf in bed. Scheduled to lead Zoom service this evening.

Last Wednesday was calm and not too cold. Dot had a DSSO meeting, then baked a chocolate cake  – terrific. Walked alone over both bridges and back along King Street, Rouen Road and down by the Julian cell. Quite tired. Later we watched two very good films: Election and The Wife. Also started watching The Investigation, a Danish police procedural based on a real life crime involving a submarine and a beheading, and you can’t say that very often; so I’ve used it in the heading. We finished watching it (six episodes in all) the next day – really very well done.

It was a lot milder on Thursday. Dot did a walk, but I did 4000 steps indoors. I fInished off my poetry book, though I keep changing the title. I’m thinking about whether I need an isbn number and bar code. Did another Paston letter. 

Friday was a nicer day. Cleared up. Felt a bit ill during the night – dodgy stomach, lot of itching. Did Diabolical sudoku; so can’t be too bad. Also some clearing up. We walked up Bishop Bridge Road and round the cathedral, then back on to BBR and home. Had a nice long FaceTime with Oliver, Amy and Canada, then watched an Endeavour rerun.

Yesterday was damp and much colder. After Norwich drew 0-0 with Middlesbrough in a dull lunchtime game ,we went for a walk and found there was a bitter wind. Nevertheless persevered round by the railway cottages and back after posting a letter. Later we had an hour’s Zoom with Kristine, then watched Shadowlands, which was excellent. Dot has worked out a daily schedule, which is a bit frightening. At least it’s for her and not for me.
