Day Off
Friday 18th December 2020
The whole company had been given the day off today, so rarely I had a day off while Erika was still at school. Of course options for things to do are a bit limited at the moment given all the restrictions, so I just did what I always do, and headed to Hampsted Heath.

I sat at the base of this tree for a while, here in the wooded bits I managed a greater sense of being away from other people than I had at the barrow given it was still the afternoon and there were as always plenty of people coming and going.

I read some of Three Men in a Boat while I was sitting there.
