Well, the weather in the UK is just awesome, long may it last! I can’t remember such a long spell of dry weather in years. Could this because of the reduced pollution? I hope so, I hope they prove that this weather we’ve been having can be directly related to the reduced amount of flights, cars etc. on the roads.

A lot less dog walkers out this morning, I knew it, people decided on a Monday they need the early exercise but by Tuesday, they’ve given up. There was one walker we had to avoid, but otherwise quite still. The fields that we visit have about 10 Shetland Cows on it. They have been chosen because of their docile nature. The problem is they have free grazing access to a lot of the fields, which means you always have to be aware of where thy might be, so you an avoid them and also be alert for any ‘cow pats’!

My work was mainly focussed on Taiko West — Taiko drumming — work. I had to update the website, get hold of email addresses of the folks that attended the live online classes, so they could access the practice videos that James recorded and I produced. Add private users to the website, add them to Hubspot and send emails out with user login and passwords.

Late afternoon I had a catch up call with my friend Keith, who is the love man and we had a could catch up call. We had originally planned to go for a walk in a forest on Tuesday 24 March in a location away from people and then on Monday 23 March we had the lock down announcement, which meant I cancelled the walking meeting.
