I have been trying to keep my exercise routine going as well of course but its been very hard. Hopefully I should be getting bit of core strength back along the way, but it&#8217;s up hill at present. Maybe we might just get some better weather this week if we are really lucky? In the last few years we have had a very warm early spring. This year it&#8217;s been much wetter and cooler. That&#8217;s made it slightly harder work keeping going generally. Also I am weirdly disconnected with a lot of things. A minor incident that would normally have thrown me into a panic occurred recently and I just kept calm and carried on. Not like me at all.

What seems though very dark to me now is the sudden attacks on transgender rights and identify which seem to have gone hand in hand with nearly all the mainstream political parties jumping on populism, nationalism. My only hope is that young people will prevail in the end and bring about something better, though it may well not be in my lifetime or that of many of my friends.  Also I seem to have picked up a bug and I am not feeling too chipper with a bit of a temperate  to be honest either.
