The Lockdown Diary - DAY 31

Back to the day on which events happened, largely because events didn't happen. Nod to DS, FTE and WM, whose sharpshooting keeps the US racing winnings ticking over nicely. I got to follow most of it, as you'll now see.

The huge tea I had last night plotted and exercised a brutal but essentially superficial revenge on me to the point that I didn't get to sleep until around 6am.

but there are so many more you could choose. Won't be the last time I go to that well.

Aced some chemistry with my son - I could get that GCSE again even now - and my daughter was dealing with the Somme, so I could add a little bit of anecdotal context. We had a burger night. Some days you start awful (as the multiscurry along the hall will confirm) and turn it round with comforting acts of simplicity. Today was like that.

Stay well
