The final day of the Easter bank Holiday weekend - colder today, but still plenty of sunshine. For us, more painting - the white metalwork now finished, and the blue paintwork needing just one more coat in a few places. It feels like a job well done, and realistically without the enforced down-time that the lockdown has given us it's also a job that would have been waiting for some time still to come. So still not a good thing, but at least some small positives.
A walk this afternoon took us round Netteswell Pond (above) - another spot that proves Harlow's "Concrete Jungle" reputation to be so much nonsense. We're so fortunate to have our green spaces - indeed contrary to reports from the town on the BBC news just tonight where a resident of temporary accommodation claimed that the local park has been closed, it very much hasn't.
I also made a start today on looking back at some old airshow photos - another of those jobs that has been sitting there forever but with no sense of urgency. I reckon just doing a few each night will keep my hand in with processing, and also give me some new material for instagram which is always a bonus.
In general news - the Prime Minister is now out of hospital and recuperating at Chequers - the conspiracy theorists are going to town with suggestions that he was never really ill at all - something which seems to show a remarkable lack of respect for the NHS which would, after all, have had to have gone along with such subterfuge had it occurred. We have now been under lockdown for three weeks - the original period finishing today - but we have already been told not to expect things to end any time soon - not though that has come as much of a surprise.
