Piranesi by Susanna Clarke

October 2, 2020October 2, 2020 · Leave a comment ·

(in which I go off on an imitative flight of fancy) When a full moon rose in the one and only eastern bedroom, I went to the great dining roomENTRY FOR THE SEVENTH DAY OF THE FIFTH MONTH IN THE YEAR THE VIRUS CAME INTO … Continue reading Piranesi by Susanna Clarke

To Michelle Paver

July 23, 2020 · Leave a comment ·

July 23rd, 2020 In the time of The Virus Hampshire Dear Ms Paver I hope you never go near the Goodreads website, for there you will find readers reviewing the Daughters of Eden trilogy thus: ‘characters weren’t too deep,’  ‘an easy read,’  ‘rambling boring tale,’  … Continue reading To Michelle Paver

Animal Crossing Adventures cont.

June 1, 2020 · 4 Comments ·

Blog.  The Covid diaries are no more.  After all, lockdown is easing (not for me it isn’t, no chance, I’m staying in until The Virus has buggered off) and I can’t forever name every post a Covid post. Son no.2’s birthday came and went during … Continue reading Animal Crossing Adventures cont.

Covid-19 Diaries – May 11th

May 11, 2020 · Leave a comment ·

I am guilty of prejudice; of making snap judgements based on a momentary acquaintance. Last week Clay, the chubby hamster, was milling around the entrance to Blather’s museum. I am used to my fellow island residents wandering around in a peculiarly aimless fashion, but this … Continue reading Covid-19 Diaries – May 11th

Covid-19 Diaries – May 7th

May 7, 2020 · 2 Comments ·

Should a scientist’s private life be a matter for public concern?  Owen Jones of the leftist Guardian whinges (and he's not the only one.)  The photograph of Ferguson’s married lover looms large against the tabloid pic of Ferguson himself, Jones continues to whinge. This is … Continue reading Covid-19 Diaries – May 7th

Covid-19 Diaries – May 1st

May 1, 2020 · Leave a comment ·

I nearly forgot to clap for the NHS last night, so far gone was I in my digitally generated new world of Animal Crossing. I was midway through catching a porker of a fish (turned out to be the gigantic oarfish) when I heard the … Continue reading Covid-19 Diaries – May 1st

Covid-19 Diaries – April 27th

April 27, 2020April 27, 2020 · 1 Comment ·

Blog. To begin with, here is my vocal tribute to Captain Tom Moore. This is so I never forget that once there was a 99-year-old bloke (soon to be 100) living quietly in Bedfordshire, who achieved global fame, via tottering around a bit in his … Continue reading Covid-19 Diaries – April 27th

Covid-19 Diaries – April 20th

April 20, 2020 · Leave a comment ·

The Nook Cranny shop has finally landed on my Animal Crossing island. Like a Judas, the price I paid for building the shop was thirty pieces each of wood, hardwood, softwood and iron nuggets. The various woods were easy. The iron nuggets flummoxed me, since … Continue reading Covid-19 Diaries – April 20th

Covid-19 Diaries – April 14th

April 14, 2020 · Leave a comment ·

Blog.  We’ve been larking about making a quarantine video for the sister. A big part of me felt b-a-d that here was I, all singing and all dancing (along with the husband and sons nos 2 and 3) to the tune of Sweet Caroline (which … Continue reading Covid-19 Diaries – April 14th

Covid-19 Diaries – April 5th

April 5, 2020 · 4 Comments ·

Blog, I now know why my GP was so dismissive of The Virus. Writing in The Guardian (seems to be my go-to paper these days, probably because it’s one of the few that you can read for free) a GP catalogued his experience with Covid-19, … Continue reading Covid-19 Diaries – April 5th
