12/13

Twelve cases now in the village and thirteen in quarantine. A rumour was circulating that don Roberto, the parish priest, had been struck down. The mayor, via WhatsApp, says it is not so.

I pressed on with coppicing after yesterday’s adventures. A glum, humid and surprisingly warm day. I was working in a t-shirt . I stayed late to shepherd the fire to calmness before plodding up to the house.
