DVT DAY 91

Another day in paradise, well almost except it’s raining, the German football is dire, and its and effort to do anything. Apart from eating good food and not feeling the urge to do anything today has been unremarkable, which for me is a bonus. I just take my drugs and get on with it. There was one highlight and that was when Amazon delivered my new shed chair. I go so fed up with my arse ending up with the slat marks of the folding chair that I had been using that I decided to get myself a decent office chair. As my partner is likely to be using the office for evermore in the “new normal” I thought I needed to make my shed work environment as comfortable as possible. So tomorrow I shall move it into the shed and settle down to work and complete one of my projects.

The other highlight was an e-letter from an old colleague and friend. It was a lovely letter as it detailed what the person is up to now and how COVID is affecting their household. I was very tempted to sit down at my laptop and to respond. I always think that if I lettered this way I would produce long and detailed letters like the ones I admire in some of the collection of letters that I have, but, and it is a big but, I am addicted to the process of sitting down and writing letters by hand. For me I seem to ramble into more interesting places on paper than I do on screen. I think there is something about the process of siting at a desk with paper and pen and making marks of ink that are never the same and are often not ordered in time. I lose time when I write by hand but not when I write on screen.

Tonight, I shall bath, watch the TV series based on Alfred the Great and get myself ready for tomorrows Enabling Environment team meeting, and of course write the blog.
