One of those days where time disappears before you've had a chance to do half the things you wanted to do! That's how it seemed, at least.

No stripping of wallpaper, but I did make a big pot of lentil soup, most of which is in the freezer for future consumption.

Somewhat unexpected, as the infection rates in Northumberland are much lower than elsewhere. I wouldn't mind so much if the measures were rather more logical and aimed at reducing virus transmission effectively. I can't sit in a friend's garden for a socially distanced chat, or socialise with anyone from another household, but I could go to the pub where people from other households could be sitting at the next table. I can still go on holiday - abroad even - with members of my household, and tourists are still encouraged to come to Northumberland. In fact I could do quite a lot, as long as it involves exchange of money...
