Day 31 - Easter Sunday

Apparently it’s Easter Sunday but, to be honest, it could really be any day of the week at this stage! I think it’s good to try to keep some sort of routine, and some sort of way of marking occasions, because otherwise all the days and weeks blend together. So, I made sure that I had ordered an Easter egg for me and Peter in our last online shop. It felt weird eating them on our own here, without much sense of occasion, but it was nice too!

It was raining quite heavily this morning, which I was delighted about because it meant that there wouldn’t be as many people out walking and getting in my way while doing my long run! So, hoping that there wouldn’t be too many people around, I ventured down to the river, for the first time since lockdown. It was lovely to be by the river again, but there were a lot of joggers around, so I’m not sure if I’ll go down that way again any time soon. It seems to be a popular enough spot, even in the rain!

I spent most of the rest of the day recording my part for the “lockdown quartet” that me, Fiona, Anna, Mum and Peter’s Mum, Margo are doing. The tune that we’ve picked to do is “A Thousand Years” and Margo was the first to record the violin one part. I added violin two to the recording, along with lots of other violin bits - I got a bit carried away! It was lovely, though, to lose all sense of time and get completely caught up in the creativity of putting the song together. In other circumstances you’d, no doubt, be fitting such an activity in before heading out to something else, and you’d be watching the clock. We’ve so much time now!もっと詳しく
