Day 30 - Friday 17th April
Today I have decided that I will begin to post photos from our adventures on the same day in the past, which will give me the opportunity to relive them. A problem immediately becomes apparent when I can't find the photos I took when stranded in Istanbul. This prompts a large scale search of removable memory of all types that takes most of the morning, but when I finish things are much better organised.
It's check in day for the charity and everybody seems to be doing well. There's also an exchange of emails with the climate change partnership; we've been working out what to do about the public consultation for the climate emergency strategy which was due to close at the end of next week. People have been understandably preoccupied with other matters so we'll be extending it but need to agree for how long. We arrange an online board meeting for the end of the month and I agree to make some online assets because the council's communications team is fully occupied with CV.
Another delivery today, from a wholefoods store. The most exciting thing in the box is some nutritional yeast, an ingredient I haven't cooked with before. We are having raclette for dinner and I spend an enjoyable hour making salads to go with the potatoes and cheese. After dinner we watch the final of MasterChef - it's hard to pick a winner from the final three who are all amazingly talented in different ways. It's poignant to think that the restaurant trade showcased so brilliantly in the series is currently not operating and may not be back to normal for months.
Today I am grateful for the efforts of 99-year-old Captain Tom whose sponsored walk with his walking frame around his garden has raised millions for NHS charities - and money is still pouring in.
