We video called her in the morning so the kids could talk and then later E had arranged for the three of us children (E, M and me) to talk to her together this evening. It was lovely to see her and chat together, but no substitute for being there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another busy work day although not too stressful, and it was really nice to do a regular call with a large group today which has been cancelled for the last two weeks because of the current situation &#8211; it felt like a return to &#8220;normal&#8221;! Hearing of other peoples schedules and work situations today has reinforced to me how lucky I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We didn&#8217;t get out today which was a shame &#8211; mainly down to me having a run of calls all afternoon without a proper time for a break, although the lack of sunshine didn&#8217;t encourage us to make time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We had virtual choir this evening, and I think it worked well. Really nice social sessions before and after where people can do a bit of chatting and see each others faces (in Zoom) with a YouTube streamed session in between led by Seb with some singing and watching some performances and looking at one of our songs in some detail &#8211; the wonderful <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/TZ0pXUb5jVU\">&#8220;For Good&#8221; from the musical Wicked<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Really enjoyed both choir and talking to Mum, M and E and feeling happy this evening, although somehow it is gone midnight again and I&#8217;m still awake&#8230; maybe I&#8217;ve not adjusted to the clock change yet \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tomorrow by some black magic D has managed to get a shopping delivery slot again, and I&#8217;ve just put some &#8220;poolish&#8221; (a flour, yeast and water mixture) in the fridge ready to make some more spelt bread tomorrow (I think today was the first day for 2 weeks we&#8217;ve not had bread in the house ready to eat)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_2311-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-332\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_2311-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_2311-300x300.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_2311-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_2311-768x768.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_2311-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_2311-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_2311-800x800.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Feeling:\u00a0OK Listening to: Bach&#8217;s Goldberg Variations played by Glenn Gould Watching: Performance videos with the choir Mum&#8217;s birthday today, the first of a run of April birthdays in my immediate family (including mine).
