I also forgot to give the answer to my earlier question about the picture in the Herbie blog heading. Believe it or not that lovely clear water and lush surroundings is the dear old Slough Arm just west of High Line Yachting at Langley.
A to Sarah's list, I can only think about prison based songs at the moment, but that seems unfair as I don't feel as if I'm in jail. In fact isolation isn't going too badly so far. I have yet to get bored at any rate and my cultural education is growing even at my advanced age.

Things to keep culture vultures entertained.
Tonight we will be watching the National Theatre's Treasure Island (with a short break at 8pm to stand outside with our neighbours to applaud NHS and other workers braving the plague on our behalf). Last week's NT production of Jane Eyre was super and next week I'm looking forward to their production of Twelfth Night which is a real joy. This will be my third time watching it and I can't wait. Also tomorrow, courtesy of the Met Opera in USA we will be having a crack at Madam Butterfly. Never seen that so I'll be there with an open mind.
If you like a short but entertaining quiz, take a look at Jimmy Carr's daily Little Tiny Quiz of the Lockdown on you tube. It only takes 5 minutes each day, but the questions are interesting.
That's all for now, I'm off to stalk a dunnock with a telephoto lens.
Stay safe.
