Just a few posts ago, I was in a theatre with hundreds of others. Since then, I have been crammed on several planes and in airports in two different countries. I had a very nice time and, even as I was doing those things, I promise that I recognised my good fortune. That recognition is today in even sharper focus as we enter the ‘lock-down’ (or almost) phase of the UK’s response to Covid19.
Now we are not supposed to congregate anywhere and everything is cancelled. Theatres are dark, in many cases for the first time since the Second World War. Even the pubs have been ordered to close and there are no sporting events to watch on TV – the latter more important to others than myself, but it’s shocking nevertheless.
I have all the time in the world to write my blogs.
What on earth will I write about?
