As I type a thunderstorm has just past over, which is unusual for this time of year, as is the temperature too. I am still very much preoccupied with recent events, and perhaps  not thinking too clearly at present. Toady I have spent time rehearsing parts for one of the bands I am in. Sorting out boring admin stuff and very little else. I need to get back gently into a regular exercise routine again, as I have due to events let it slip and I am seizing up somewhat. I am still a bit on edge about my health as well which I shall try to manage as best I can.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default wp-duotone-rgb2511-rgb1729393-1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"604\" height=\"805\" data-attachment-id=\"176083\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/2023\/10\/02\/take-a-deep-breath-and-hope-for-the-best\/20230928_192913\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20230928_192913-scaled.jpg?fit=1920%2C2560&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1920,2560\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.7&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;SM-G950F&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1695929353&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.2&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.03030303030303&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"20230928_192913\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20230928_192913-scaled.jpg?fit=604%2C805&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20230928_192913-768x1024.jpg?resize=604%2C805&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-176083\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20230928_192913-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20230928_192913-scaled.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20230928_192913-scaled.jpg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20230928_192913-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20230928_192913-scaled.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20230928_192913-scaled.jpg?w=1208 1208w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20230928_192913-scaled.jpg?w=1812 1812w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Diana Stones Glasscage \u00b7 Just A LIttle Hope Left Here&#8217;s a tune I recorded over the weekend before posting this.
