Today is the first anniversay of the first national coronavirus lockdown. There's a minutes silence. At least there's no clapping.
Looks like pubs were already closed this day last year, I see from the blog that this day last year we were doing home schooling. The day before that, a Sunday, Clare had her pub plans cancelled, and on the Saturday I had my second cataracts operation, and then went to the Inn Doors.
Work is going well, but is busy. I like the sound of this, lockdown habits will continue, there will be a lot less commuting. I hope my employer is listening. I am ready to commute, but it will be a lot less convenient. I took this job knowing that I could do it and the pay compensated for the cost and the time of commuting, but when it comes to it, I could do without it. Will have to see how it goes. I'm under a bit less pressure now the mortgage is gone!
£5000 fine for going abroad is going to mess with the plans of people who have booked holidays isn't it? I know a few people who have holidays "rolled over" from last year, I think Clare's bro has about four that seem less likely to happen now. We have not booked anything yet, might do, UK only of course.
