Grey.

It's been a grey day with a pretty constant drizzle so I wouldn't have been able to stain the decking anyway. 

I haven't done very much at all today except the usual cleaning and exercises. 

The corona virus situation continues to worsen. All travel out of the country has been advised against. Schools in Wales and Scotland are closing and don't expect to open until summer at the earliest. No word yet on schools in England. Glastonbury has been cancelled and so too the Eurovision Song Contest. Nooo... mind you after all the fuss about Brexit I don't think the UK would get a single vote. (Never worked out how Australia and Israel get to be in the competition.) The govt. is frantically trying to work out ways of keeping people in work as after so many years of 'austerity' people have no savings or ways to pay their basic bills.
