Day 31

Monday 30 April

A new working week in lockdown (the second period) starts and I feel I am starting to find my stride with this blog thing.

An amazing photo (thanks Bro) of a Montagues Harrier in the fields near Acaya, Southern Italy.

Italy are starting to lift restrictions and my brother and sister-in-law were able to venture out a little which made me realise how fortunate we have been in the UK; however, Japan and Singapore relaxed there lockdown’s recently and they have seen a resurgence of the virus.

My Dad (who is 90 years old next year) has always prided himself on his ability to walk between 2 to 3 miles every day around his village and the fields that border it but the lockdown has made him a little more reluctant to go out.

His solution is to measure the distance from his front door to the kitchen and repeat this relay a ridiculous number of times each day to ensure he is getting the necessary steps in to equal his walk.

Adora (Mabel came too) and I did a run this morning and she hit me with another classic line – “Dad, honey is basically bee wee isn’t it?” Good grief.
