I’ve just arrived home from a sunny walk with James around the local parks. There is not a trace of the snow from a few days ago. We have spent so much time in the main Cambuslang Park and Holmhills Park this past year. A side effect of the lockdown. There were quite a few other people out walking on this (comparatively) mild January day.
Our photo project has stalled a bit but we’re going to press on with it tomorrow. The restrictive feeling of being locked down is not great but by now we’re used to it, and are making the most of our quiet time. We are going out for walks, spending time with Ally and Cat, making meals, reading, watching films and television series. I’m having phone calls and Zoom calls with Jamie, Davie, Jennifer, school friends and book clubs. But even though we are gainfully occupying our time, there is a feeling of waiting for the next part of our lives, when hopefully we will be freed by the vaccines to enjoy the spring and summer.
The Covid news is still not good - more than 1500 deaths per day over the last week. But apparently the number of admissions to hospital is beginning to drop, probably thanks to the current stricter lockdown, so hopefully the tide is slowly beginning to turn.
