When Dr Anne first started writing these pages she had in her mind 12 weeks. It would take her to June. Here she is entering week 12.
She has walked miles all around Portsoy. How many times has she been able to get out the braes? The weather has been fantastic. She has done regular pilates classes with Wendy and is really happy to be back enjoying her three/four times a week classes. She has taught dancing virtually with Eloise, Niamh and Lucy. They are there when Dr Anne buzzes them and are keen to progress. She has played the piano, regularly and is still waiting to send off her recording of grade 8 pieces to Trinity. Will she, will she not keep recording the pieces or should she abandon it now. The garden is well established with the roses in bloom and the ericaceous plants giving a delightful display. Dr Anne continues to enjoy her Sunday Service at St Columba's, Pont Street, London.
Day 78:
Dr Anne had pilates then music. The weather was cool so she headed for the piano and spent some hours practising. One day she will be competent. Dr Anne went for a short walk around the links and the harbour - 2897 steps and 1.8K. The weather was cool and windy and she met nobody.
Day 79:
This is a busy dancing day. After pilates there was Eloise, Niamh, Ruby, Fia and Lucy. The girls are all working so hard. It took most of the day. For a rest there was the binging of series of Spanish programmes set in Morocco in the early 1920s. Dr Anne just appreciates the weather in March, April and May as this Artic rain and wind would have been so depressing.
Day 80:
The weather turn for the worse, rain, wind, cold. It wasn't a day to go out. Dr Anne had a sore back from overdoing the pilates. Wendy Pilates soon sorted that with stretches. Dr Anne tackled the cleaning out of her filing cabinet. This took most of the day. Dr Anne's friends phoned for a chat on this dreich day.
Day 81:
The sun was out. Dr Anne did her teaching with Eloise and Niamh then set out for a walk around the circuit 5339 steps and 3.1k. When she came in the rain came on and there was another stormy night. Luckily JSS what's appd so the wind and rain were forgotten for a while and Wendy Pilates zoomed for a chat.
Day 82:
The weather is still stormy so another day in the house was forecast. The service at St Columba's was its usual thought provoking. My message was put your things in order and live in peace.
Day 83:
Dr Anne went off to Huntly to Tesco for the second time in lockdown. The aisles are wide, the stock is good and the ambiance is friendly. The sun came out so she headed for the garden to get the grass cut and the edges trimmed. The Zoom dancing is becoming more successful. A walk round the circuit took her to 6368 steps and 3.7K.
Day 84:
It was 8184 steps and 5K today. Dr Anne had an early Skype with her dancer Steph then it was pilates and teaching until lunch time. The gardener came and one job is now complete and the garden looks the better of it.

Was watching Andrew Marr just now on Good Morning Britain. He said he saw spring this year. You know, he is right. Out the braes, there has been a change every other day and Dr Anne has been aware. In the beginning, Dr Anne took pictures but now she just stands and stares at the sea, the fields the trees, the birds. The other thing, she had was the best Easter ever from Palm Sunday right to Pentecost. There was nothing new but the significance has been more prominent as life is quieter. Andrew Marr said he missed the galleries. He picked Monet’s lilies as his favourite picture. Dr Anne loves art exhibitions. She was at the Money exhibition in 2016 with SS when two of the paintings of the lilies were on show.
