Too hot today really, really it is. So I am watching a whole lot of YouTube again. And writing lyrics and tunes or at least trying to.I am writing about living vicariously through YouTube blogs among other subjects I am working on songwise.
\nThe heat is not going anywhere for a day or two either. <\/p>\n

 I have done one or two  useful things today. I have sorted out a 15 track web album for Amazon\/Apple spotify YouTube and so on.It should  be released by August 6th. 
\nPlus a bit of minor DIY. So not a bad day. Also recording a bit of a new tune may well be an instrumental featuring violin if its not a song. I havent made up its mind yet.<\/p>\n

Looking back two years my world is very different and like many others now much smaller too.  Absent friends are not forgotten at all but the memories of them exist in a parallel universe that can only be visited at quiet times and also with caution advised.
\nI have adapted and much I had hoped for is unlikely now to happen so a certain amount of acceptance of the limits I find myself bound by is required. I don’t feel at home though yet. <\/p>\n

This week I did my first covid test. A lateral flow  at home.   As I expected it was negative. It wasn’t  difficult to do,  though the self swabbing is a bit  tricky to get right.
\nYou can see if  the test is working before you get the your result and its very quick. Hopefully its accurate. Also you get a covid pass in your phone app that lasts 48 hours if its negative. <\/p>\n

The heat is really wearing me out. At the time of writing its expected to cool by  down tomorrow morning. I do hope so.   <\/p>\n
