Early in the morning about 7.10, walking up to the Tesco Express with the hazy early sunlight falling on the sign, reminded me of 1989 and early mornings full of possibility. If things go right, in a few months' time I could be seeing the early Wednesday morning sunlight anywhere.

Gave lawns their first mow of 2021. I suppose sooner or later I'll be mowing them for the last time.
Rain was due at 3pm but it arrived at 2.15, while I was still on the fourth and last lawn. Had to get partially inside the shed to clean and oil the mower afterwards. Quite cosy in there looking out at the rain falling on the garden.

By 12.20 everything was in storage, so I took the van back and walked home. Had very pleasant walking lunch, with BLT baguette across the fields and Co-op flapjack up Cheeseman Rd. Sky had clouded over by then but it was still very pleasant, I felt like I was making full use of a hunk of time. It reminded me a bit of being out and about playing on bikes on a Saturday.

It began to rain as I neared home, that really was perfect timing. Just had time for a cup of coffee, and to thank 7.30am me for doing the washing up.

Walking along Barrett Rd in the morning on my way to the units, appreciated the early morning, early spring sunshine.

Barrett Road, along which I walk home from the unit every morning, has narrow pavements on most of the E side, so when coming home I often have to cross to the W to avoid infection from people walking the other way. Reaching the other side after just such a crossing this morning, I saw I was under the canopy of a pink cherry tree, the blossom subtly bright against the grey sky. The sight filled me with hope, and made me think about what I'd read about spring 1945.

Very windy overnight and in the day - badly-timed for recycling day, the street was like a tornado of plastic. Mine stayed in place though because I wedged it in with the bags of cardboard. Thank goodness I had the chimneys done.
