Lockdown Day 18: What did you say?

We’ve finished our annual garden house, complete with rugs, coffee tables and fairy lights. Garden tidied although would benefit from some tarting up around the edges. The Dizzle and Mystic Em have made themselves at home and we sat out playing cards, eating pizza and enjoying the balmy early summer weather. 23 degrees today. 

The longest and strangest of good Fridays. But Pants Monster was better behaved and I had more energy. I did nod off late afternoon and dreamt that I went back in a time machine and met EM Forster and HG Wells who were both charming. Although Forster had forgotten to order lunch and Wells looked like Christopher Eccleston. 

Lockdown notwithstanding, good day. But nearly a thousand more deaths in the UK in the last 24 hours and still huge ongoing rows about the lack of protective equipment and the general state of the NHS. We’re lucky and doing very well but you feel a deep rooted sadness for the people affected - personally, economically, and emotionally.
