Today sees the start of week 10 of Lockdown - can you even come close to believing that? In some ways the time seems to have flown, it barely seems possible that it was over 2 months ago that I was last in the office, for example. In others it now feels like this is just the way life is - with all the odd restrictions, shops being closed etc. A date for shops re-opening how now been set - 3 weeks away with strict regulations in place - so I think we’re heading towards beginning to step back to some form of normality again. At the moment nothing is being said about the general return to work for those who work in offices though - whether they are going to request that hose that can continue to work from home for a while longer remains to be seen. Certainly in the city, where MrEH works, it’s hard to see how they can suggest people return at the moment - the London transport system is largely at capacity during rush hour times in normal circumstances, with them limiting the numbers in stations and on trains, there is going to need to be a dramatic drop in numbers using the system for it to be practical as a means of transport at all. From a personal perspective the bought of him having to go back to using the tube at the moment really is very worrying, and I’d certainly prefer that a fair few weeks pass so any impact of public transport use in London can be seen in the infection rate before he returns to a regular commute.
Anyway - today has been “more of the same” really. Some more old photos processed - concentrating on Hebrides shots at the moment and have found some stunning sunsets to take a look at! Also some time outside with the camera and macro lens photographing the little chap just above. A walk this morning and a short run this afternoon, just a couple of miles. I was keen to do more but in spite of leaving it until late afternoon it was just too hot and I’m really not good at coping with running in the heat. Running loops round the woods was about the best option I could come up with for staying at least vaguely cool, but even under the trees it felt really warm!
We also picked elderflower heads this morning, and set them to steep for the day ready to make cordial this evening once MrEH had finished work.
Beautiful aren’t they - and they smell glorious too! We now have just over 2 litres of wonderfully fragrant cordial - I may need to treat myself to a bottle of Prosecco one weekend to make elderflower cocktails I think!
