This Wednesday saw our first experience of a Lockdown quiz, with Lizzie and James and Chris and Alice. It was lovely to ‘see’ everyone. Our questions, jotted down on a sheet of paper, were on General Knowledge. The Butterworths and Ward-Smith were far more slick with their PowerPoints. They had rounds on Ancient civilisations, Food and Etymolgy plus some observations on film clips. We were fairly evenly matched and we all found out how much we didn’t know! Looking forward to the next one, two weeks later.
On Saturday we decided to take the Citroen for a run, just along Dereham Road, opposite the cemetery. It was a sunny day and we had an enjoyable walk through the cemetery, taking photographs and without coming across too many other people.
Then we wandered into the city to take more photographs. We had an added bonus: a capuccino from Costas ( the machine in Tescos).
Sunday is another fine but cool day. We have ordered our first Lockdown takeaway: Giant Yorkie from Ginger Lily.

Alice and Chris paid us a social distancing visit to pick up a couple of things & seemed in good spirits. Friday was work a.m. then Peter and I went for an enjoyable circular walk to Queens Hill. Saturday was a very wet day so a good opportunity for some housework and tidying. An early visit to Sainsburys was fruitful; no queue and yielded 2 bags of flour! I made a victoria sandwich cake. Sunday was much brighter and sunnier. We re-walked the circular Queens Hill walk & made it 5 miles this time. The house, and particularly the garden have been increasingly delightful. We have particularly enjoyed the sunshine on the back of the house in the afternoon and the seamlees transition from lounge to patio. This reached new heights yesterday when I was able to sunbathe in the lounge! The...

 Friday 4th June. Overcast and a little cooler. 9 a.m Off for a pre-booked appointment to get 2 new rear tyres fitted. All done by 9.22. Good service! Aldi then home. Made tomato sauce and garlic mushrooms for tomorrow. Peter added some more to the irrigation system. New TV delivered by John Lewis. Peter was busy setting it up. Old TV collected 30 mins later, en route to Romania! Made sourdough for the pizzas. (Peter made the starter). My first encounter with sourdough (apart from eating it!). Rain started but we had a quick walk round the block. Home made spicy bean and tomato soup with sourdough. Watched the new TV!
