Two weeks ago today, Alison ran her 250th parkrun, the last such event before it closed. One week ago we ran by ourselves in the middle of the day in Wendover Woods before the car park closed the following week.
Two weeks ago tomorrow I ran the Milton Keynes 10K and afterwards we went to a (fortunately deserted) Patisserie Valerie for lunch.
The following day I took a load of garden rubbish to the (again fortunately) deserted tip, only for that to close the very next day.
My last trip to the cinema was on the 10th March. I was very lucky to be able to attend my last theatre at the Oxford Playhouse just over two weeks ago when I went to see the brilliant Pride and Prejudice (sort of).
Obviously book club will not take place on Monday, perhaps we will discuss The God of Small Things online.
Sport has disappeared from our screens so there is nothing of that sort to watch on our new TV. The last sport we watched was the All England Badminton Championships before that finished on 14th March. That was all there was. We have started watching some old episodes of our favourite detective series: Poirot, Vera, New Tricks, Morse and Midsummer Murders. We have our DVD of Bleak House, and Saturday night will be film night. Sunday is the Antiques Roadshow. But we may give up on Belgravia. Although we are not watching half as much TV without the sport. I have ordered more novels.
There has been plenty to do in the garden although it is now pretty much up to date. So when the weather warms up, there is jet-washing the pavings and cleaning the conservatory. What joy!
