February has got off to a slightly wonky start it has to be said. I have now been doing my extended daily exercise routine for about 3 weeks and I have had to row back slightly due to problems that I suspect are linked to over enthusiasm. Currently I am doing most of my typing standing up. This seems to be mostly an improvement in on area. Some gain but this week a little too much pain sadly has put the kibosh on it a tad. Also anxiety is still a major issue.
In the world outside this room there is some better news at least including the possibility of an early relaxation of some Covid restrictions. This due to evidence mounting that vaccination is reducing the the R rate and also natural immunity having a similar effect. There is still plenty of fake pandemic ant-vax news flowing far and wide sadly. Especially on Facebook where everyone is a virologist of course. But some good news along the way.
And of course the last Trump has well and truly sounded….
So musically I continue to boldly go, but sadly only via the internet at present of course which is sometimes a difficult thing to do in terms of motivation. Often though it is simply a matter of starting and stuff happens. Occasionally on a day of zero inspiration just going though a practice routine may awaken an idea or two that starts in a fairly uninspired way but finds its own life in the process of simply doing stuff. The molding of the clay suggests something random and so it is with sounds too. The result may be far removed from the starting point or original direction at inception.
Technically I have plenty of resources which almost leads to having too much choice, which leads to dithering and time wasting. The main point is of course the result, and of course results and your millage may vary 🙂 The dulcima looks at me sort of funny from the corner daring me to do something with it. I have tried and continue to do so but so far I have not managed to hit my stride with it. It remains a little aloof it seems.
In Delta Ladies news the last remaining festival we are booked on has now moved to July 2022 as I expected it would. That seems a very long way off at the moment but there is talk of a virtual appearance of some sort this year as a place older and moral booster hinting at better times.
Our building works nearby are in the final phase so soon we should have our public open space open. By April though sooner would I hope if possible. That will make a huge difference as we approach the start of our 4th year in Great Denham. So much has changed since moving here of course and most of my expectations have been swept away on the wind. And find I have very little left to say about anything now.
