No music today because we’ve been in the garden a lot and we didn’t want to annoy the neighbours.
It was nice to be joined by the Darkins and Mr Clark for this weeks quiz, last night. Great to see everybody. Although, where is Garry?
Three weeks ago we were angry at the selfish people frantically panic buying.
Now our ire is directed at the stupid people who abuse the privilege of being allowed out for a walk.
We didn’t particularly think about the NHS workers and now we applaud them.
This isn’t really funny, is it?
Three weeks ago we were worried about creating a schedule to keep busy. Now we effortlessly glide through the days. The warm sunny weather helps. Thankfully I have been training for long periods like this by being a teacher!
We have been reading. I finished Alone in Berlin by Hans Fallada. A very sad book about the futility of individual small acts of resistance in Berlin during World War 2. But brilliantly written. We also completed our exercises.
Time in the garden. And it did rain last night. Look at the lovely puddles in the lupin leaves.
And nothing shows the rebirth of Spring quite as wonderfully as new growth of the ferns as they unwind like springs.
Planted some seeds. Various veg and strawberries.
Oh, I almost forgot – it’s the Easter holiday! 🐣

‘Alone on Berlin’ is fantastic! I read it last year and was really impressed, if saddened by it. It shows a really grubby side of human nature doesn’t it? Have you looked up the film now?

As I said it was so sad that it showed the futility of this kind of resistance when up against a nasty regime like Hitler’s Nazis. The really sad thing is that it makes one wonder what the German people could have done and makes one question whether they should have this collective guilt. Or whether we should keep having a go at Germans because of what happened in WW2. clearly what the Quangells did was stupid and pointless but there we are. I thought the best thing was how well the book was written. I love the way the narratives glided and overlapped, particularly in the first two parts. One of the best books I’ve read for a while.
