Day 35 - Editing music

The sun is shining and it is making me feel one hundred times better! Who could be upset about lockdown when you’re sunbathing in your garden, feeling the lovely warmth of the sun on your face?! I went for a gorgeous walk along the river again, on my newly found flat, quite road. It was a little bit busier because the weather was nice, but this new route is mostly quite empty, with lots of space to pass each other. I listened to the radio foe an hour of the walk and then phoned mum for the last ten minutes or so. One of the things we chatted about was how things would have been if Granny and Grandad were around for this pandemic. It would have been so stressful trying to keep them safe and well. Mum may have had to cancel their carers, that used to call in to them, and move in to Crannagh to care for them herself. I also think it’s strange that they never knew about the pandemic that was coming. I’m sure Grandad would have come up with all sorts of plans to help end the crisis. A key part of his plans would, no doubt, have somehow involved me, Peter and a science laboratory! I’d love to have heard his thoughts on it all!

I spent most of today editing the music and the music video for our lockdown quartet. The project is really coming together. I listened to the tune, in its current state, and I was in tears by the end of it! It’s quite an emotive piece and it got me thinking of the day when I’ll finally be able to hug my family again, and how that will feel. I’m so proud of what we’ve created so far and I can’t wait to show off the finished product!

It’s Peters niece, Sarah’s, 19th birthday tomorrow so, at Margo’s suggestion, I have put together a little video of the family singing happy birthday to her, while each in their own home. I’ll send it to her in the morning. Again, I have a feeling that it may invoke some emotions in people! So many occasions have passed already where we would normally be with our families.Okumaya devam et
