Lockdown Diary - Wednesday 28th October 2020

My plan to be wakened by the light of the new day hasn't worked well this morning - the time I get up seems to be too early for the sun, but I will persevere.  Hopefully some light will have an effect on my brain, even if it's not enough to wake me.

Up for chanting at five to seven then the yoga breathing class (with some movement thrown in for good measure) for 45 minutes from seven.

I'm now well set up for the working day and so on we go!

Around lunchtime the community matron and a trainee nurse arrive to check my wife is responding to the antibiotics, which she is, and it does seem that another more serious chest infection has been averted, until the next time.  The worst thing now is the side-effects of the antibiotics which means there's extra work all round, but I guess that is life.

Back to work!

Son #1's gf arrives mid-afternoon - just after a torrential downpour - so she's glad to have arrived: having let her in, son #1 appears, fresh from the shower (en-suite, not rain!)

We watched another episode of 'Taskmaster' over dinner, then a programme about the fall of the Berlin wall, before teaming up to take the bins out.

Not a band I feel the need to listen to every day, but sometimes a bit of Les Rallizes Denudes is just what the doctor ordered.  This is 'The Night Collectors'.  To attribute any of their recordings to a specific album or even to suggest that there are, in any normal sense of the word, albums, is possibly a stretch, but their songs exist out there in many forms sometimes with different titles, sometimes only in Japanese script, so it has to be listened to as it is, without any other reference points!
