As I've been reading over the past few days I've found myself forgetting that the characters in my book aren't on lockdown. I keep being surprised that they're free to leave the house and meet other people.

Last night we joined our neighbours in a round of applause for the NHS staff working tirelessly to keep us safe and well.
As 8PM approached the street was silent. We opened our door. A door opened across the road. Then another, and another. In the distance we could hear cheers and we started to clap. The sound grew. A chain reaction. There were fireworks in the distance.
This was a community joining together as a sign of solidarity.

Earlier this morning I was congratulating myself for keeping a handle on what day it is. I even remembered to put the bins out for collection yesterday.
Then I put today's day and date in my diary as Wednesday 27 March. Doh!

I woke up this morning, stretched and got out of bed. As I walked to the kitchen to make tea the usual narrative started running through my head.
What day is it?
What's for breakfast?
What have I got on today?
For a moment I'd forgotten life is different now. And it was bliss.
