After we’d pretty well emptied the social diary, the penny finally dropped that the hobby was a potential source of contagion. For one reason or another, we are both at somewhat higher than average risk should we get a dose of the lurgy, so, since I was due to retire anyway four months hence, it would be irresponsible to perpetuate any avoidable risk of bringing the infection home. I’ve brought the retirement schedule forward. To today.
So yet another excuse for non-gardening bites the dust. A lot of the seeds sown on Tuesday have already germinated, and I did some serious hacking down yesterday. Less gardening today. It has been drizzly, and I’ve had to spend the odd moment finding le mot juste to give effect to my decision.
It being the vernal equinox today, the weather should help to lift the spirits. The grass has had its spring treatment today, and we’re hoping it will soon be dry enough to get out there and garden other than from the paved surfaces. But if it’s the indoors programme, there are plenty of abandoned canvases that need a few coats of gesso and new ideas. Inspiration is another story, of course!
