Felt very economically optimistic on the way out in the morning, with the fine (if cold at that hour) warm weather and prospect of an end to the shutdowns. If other people feel like that, it means house price inflation.

Walking back from the Tesco Express just after 7am and looking at a fine orange-yellow sunrise through Ac and As, I was reminded of much earlier in the winter when I realised that one benefit of all the changes I'm making in my life is seeing so many dawns.

Bloke came to do EPC for the house sale, very personable. He said everyone was pleased to see him because it was someone new to talk to.

Quite springlike today, a bit like that day in February 1985.

Sort of 'enjoy the silence' day today - fine weather and self-esteem.

Much sun
Warmer still

For trip to unit wore green summer coat instead of new grey one, the weather was so much milder.

Coming home had a feeling rather like Feb 1990, of being surprised by hints of spring because I'd got used to grimly surviving the winter, and had vaguely assumed it would always be winter now. Felt a bit like Abby when she sees the spring flowers in Corn Dolly.

Coming home for breakfast the weather was cold, but oddly pleasant with the sun shining through high grey cloud.

Work COVID test a bit of a trial - it was all set up for smartphones, and although I had one with me, I was annoyed that the website didn't mention this, so I pretended my Doro phone was my only one. So everything took longer and I got my result by text.

While waiting for the test result had Tesco picnic lunch outside. Crows have grown bolder than ever, I had to watch them the whole time to stop them coming too close.

Test was negative so went inside. Office much tidier than I remembered. My work diary was still open at March 16th. The world before the plague...

Packed everything I wanted. Left my work heels because if there is somehow a formal occasion and before we go back to work on site, I'll buy new ones, it'll be a pleasure.

Heard the For Sale board going up at 1215. Looked out to see it and was smiling for some time afterwards, and now, whenever I think of it. If I'd known it would make me this happy I'd've moved ten years ago.

So coming back under a grey stratus sky with dark grey Cu bits underneath, the rain having stopped, I felt calm.

An ice dam formed in the gutter outside the back window - cleared it with the houseplant watering can filled with hot water, by leaning out of the window.

While packing books at the storage unit, I found £100 in £20 notes I'd stashed in one of them. Checked whether the plastic £20 had come out yet, and found it was a year ago! With no-one using cash since then, no-one noticed.

Wonder if it's necessary to keep cash stashed about the house now. Neither Brexit or COVID has required it so far, indeed COVID has made cash much less useful.

Literally freezing in in the storage unit (I brought a thermometer) - thank goodness I put that fan heater in there.

Humidity has been very low this week, like 50% indoors. Consequently the snow and ice has been drying up without melting and making everything wet - they've been sublimating.

Coming up to 8pm and it seems to be a little warmer. Or to be strictly accurate it feels warmer and the outdoor probe says 0.7°C rather the -2 one might expect on recent form.

Walked through snow to the storage place. Got very cold while I was in there, because I wasn't moving about enough. Warmed up when I got home.

It's exactly 30 years since the great snow in 1991.

Snowed almost all day, particularly heavily around 10am. I'd pushed the snow off the car with a broom while idling it, and by the time I'd finished idling it 20 minutes later, more had built up.

The bright white snow-light always makes me feel sleepy, as if I should be hibernating.

Not in a good place today - mental fog and that feeling of wanting to cry when anything goes even slightly wrong. Cheered up a bit after 2pm when - after a bright sun-break from a yellow-grey Feb 1990 style sky - the clouds cleared rapidly.

House is now at least tidy enough for an agent to see it. Will make a call.
