Crows v Magpies
Lots of work this morning, recording a double episode of SYTV. Chats with Anton, and a good chat with Robin this afternoon on WhatsApp's version of YouTube. Looking at people while you talk to them is increasingly expected these days. Sent a couple of notifications about the job starting next week, which was reassuring. Otherwise life at Kenny Towers in its new normal. Lorraine still working with governors and parents on what the new opening of schools will look like. Meanwhile the government is suddenly saying that the June the first date for a return to school was advisory only. Looked over some communications before Lorraine sent them out.
Up on Hollingbury Hill late this afternoon. Quite a few people enjoying the sun. A second spike, little threat to the teenage friend groups there. The Isle of Wight again clearly visible. Ploughing on with the Silmarillion. My bad ears have led to the necessity of me improvising balancing the earphones on their sides, rather than having them flat, next to each ear. With this technique, although it gives me round Mickey Mouse ears, works well enough to listen to an audiobook. Saw a crow and a magpie having an aerial battle on my travels, the crow flying inches from the magpie for about fifty yards.
The hottest day of the year today. Forced, almost unwillingly, to drink a cold beer on my return at 6:30. Beth cooked a vegetable flan, which was tasty. Beth has an online personal trainer, who was guiding her through exhausting exercises this morning.
Below... Meanwhile in Guernsey Jane is enjoying attention in the Guernsey Evening Press about Barking Mad! And an iPhone camera can't do justice to the clarity of the day. But a glimpse of the I of W in the distance, and Brighton and its wind farm.
