26 March 2025 (Wednesday)

A rather early start, as I am helping a fellow plotter today - he runs workshops for schools and group, making a frame structure out of newspapers.  I did it last year and though it was tiring, I did enjoy my day, so…

Up at 5pm to leave the house at 5.45pm and walk down to my fellow plotter’s house.  I’m driving his car as his wrist is in a splint, and of course that means we’ve had to arrange extra insurance which I did through Cuvva.  It took me back to my days in the Sharing Economy with Rent My Items Limited (sadly, now dissolved) and the need for short-term and micro-insurance on items.  That was a very different time of my life!

Anyway, we make good headway to a school south of Richmond, arriving pretty early and having plenty of time to set-up for the workshops.  Each went well, though I do wonder how teachers teach nowadays… kids seem to be far more disruptive than in my days, though Richard assures me he was extremely disruptive, so maybe I was just a goody two-shoes!

The drive back went well, despite me taking a wrong turning in Richmond Park - I wasn’t using my usual satnav, and some things looked very different!

I was delighted when Richard said he'd do supper, as after I changed and he was doing halloumi salad wraps, I watched a little bit more of that episode of Endeavour!


Weather:  Feels milder, and once the sun came out it felt rather warm, around 16°.

Breakfast:  Bran sticks, yogurt, sultanas
Lunch:  Peanut Butter, Marmite & Cucumber Baguette (made at home and taken as a packed lunch)
Supper:  Halloumi Salad Wraps, a la Richard
