Outside
Friday 20th November 2020
Today marked the last day of Erika having to isolate (she was officially allowed to leave home as of 3:30pm) although she wasn't actually desperate to go outside - we just managed to coax her out to get an ice cream. I do worry amongst the many negative impacts of the crazy regulations this year if it's creating a generation of agoraphobics. Anyway, I seem to be developing the opposite issue and at the end of the working day today went for a short stroll to Hampstead Heath, and sat in the rain for a bit.

Bit grey and dreary today. Also raining a bit.

Still I had a broken umbrella and a raincoat to sit on so I plonked myself down on a bench regardless.

I quite enjoyed the cool damp air and the wide open space.

...and the peace and quiet when the heath is nearly deserted like this.

Increasingly I seem to be at my happiest when outdoors.

The skyline, such as I could see it in this light.

Met the girls on our local shopping street, and consider ordering takeaway from the Indian/Italian fusion pizza place for dinner, but it didn't seem a popular suggestion. So we just got ice cream and went home.
