One of those days with not much to say today. It was wet and miserable, so we decided against attempting a walk. I finished work about 4, watched a bit of TV, and cooked baked potatoes and chilli for dinner. This evening we had a Zoom band rehearsal and, that was the day pretty much gone!
The photo is from yesterday's walk. Rumour has it that this pub was built on the site of a lodging house used by the masons who built the church in the late 13th century. There isn't any real evidence for this, although it is plausible. The original building (assuming there was one) is long gone, as this one dates from the 17th or 18th century. Unusually, it is flying the flag of Bedfordshire, which isn't seen very often.
TG had a postcard through from school today congratulating her on her work in French (each subject department has their own cards they can send out to encourage students). We usually reward good reports or any other positive feedback with a small treat, so she went to Tesco Express with M and got chocolates and cheesecake. H ordered a sofa bed for her new house - the first major item they have bought. It was on offer and has a long delivery date, so it made sense to order now. If it arrives before the house is finished, we can store it in the garage for a while.
I checked the coronavirus stats for our area today and the figures have come down a bit over the last week. We are now down to under 100 weekly cases per 100,000 people, and in the bottom 10% of local authorities in England. This ought to put us into Tier 1 tomorrow, but there is speculation that very few areas (or possibly even none) will go into Tier 1 initially. Whatever happens, it is encouraging to know we are in a relatively low risk area.
