Shopping day.

Tuesday. Now weekly our shopping day. My wife was again back from Tesco by breakfast time. Successful, albeit no flour. And when we three passed our local butcher’s late afternoon on our daily walk and it was empty..... our younger son went in; there’s a steak pie in the bag, and ham shank for lentil soup stock. They now allow only one customer in and do telephone etc orders. We walked up through the park; they’d cut the grass today. That’s good.

First Minister’s press conference announcement re recommending wearing of face protection in certain circumstances has set the media heather on fire bit.

Family FaceTime. Lovely conversation. Friends of our older son became parents this morning. A wee boy. Born in the local hospital. All well. So good.
