Ankle is taped
Slight swelling
I’ve lived in a static state. I’ve been scared for years. Anxiety doesn’t leave. You fight the fear. Every day. Love you all.

Drone
I stumbled across this drone footage within YouTube. There's no music or commentary. The imagery was collected on Easter Sunday 2019 by a drone user who is clearly experimenting with his new toy.
It caught my attention because the drone is looking down upon the very East Yorkshire village where I was born and raised.
Back in 1953, the village had less than four hundred inhabitants but its population nowadays is above 2500.
In the footage you see the church where I was christened and where the funeral services of my father, mother and brother Simon where held. You also see a tall house attached the village school. That is where I was born and spent the first sixteen years of my life. At the crossroads you seea white building with a large car park. That is "The Hare and Hounds" public house.
The drone fails to show the canal that connected the village to The River Hull and the outlying farms and lanes that were such a part of my childhood. As you may imagine, it is kind of strange to see my home place from the perspective of a slightly jittery bird in the sky.

Women
Hannah Churchill
Most of us know the vignettes that make up Little Women.
Amy’s pickled limes. Jo’s selling her hair. Meg’s love of the Ball and Beth’s piano.
The stories are almost as real as those in our own families, especially if you grew up with siblings.
Last night I went to see a one woman show in Theatre Clwyd where actress Hannah Churchill reenacted most of the novel as Jo, hiding away in the attic after Beth’s death. Here she writes her book in her head, playing each sister in turn, only supported by a quiet Laurie, who plays an accompaniment on Beth’s piano
Churchill’s jumping from one character from another works best when Amy and Jo are portrayed which is unsurprising given their powerful personalities. Meg, Beth and Marmie are slightly less successful , but only slightly, as at times the play becomes incredibly moving. (Beth’s illness) and even exciting ( Amy falling through the Ice)
It’s a hard gig really as we all know the story and bringing a fresh look at it must be hard.
So hats off to Hannah Churchill who did a very good job of carrying the story.
I’ve broken the back of my assignment and will finish that today. This afternoon I’m going to the hall to sort out the noticeboards for the open day on Saturday.

Rome
With Boris on the firing line today at Partygate, I’m amazed to hear that it’s three years since the first lockdown . Three years!!
I’m almost overwhelmed by the thought.
I’m looking at the art wall in the kitchen…..at the start of Lockdown there was only a couple of paintings there…..
The dogs and I had a serious chat this morning,
Over in the Churchyard, in the weak sun of the morning.
Well I did most of the talking to be fair and Mary and Dorothy hung on every word as they have a want to do.
Roger spied an early bee flying in disorientated circles near the flowers on Auntie Gladys’ grave and smiled to himself .
He never listens to anything more serious .
Albert limped over and head butted Roger who almost toppled over in shock
I left the boys to it.
I feel more energised than I have in a while.
I feel more in control and more hopeful with things
I think I’ve been a little depressed over lockdown and a smidgen beyond it
And I told the girls so this morning.
I’m sure they nodded carefully
I have them a big smile and told them that
I’ve just booked a trip to Rome
It’s in September and I’m going alone.
If a friend wants to join me ….then great.
If not, that’s cool too
Im going to Rome, and I will be able to fit in my best Walking Dead T shirt ….the Large one….
Not the extra large one when I do so.
I fly from London and hopefully see friends there before I go.
What do you think? I asked the gang
Dorothy blew a kiss and Mary pushed forward to be first
Roger was now watching crows in Well Street trees and hadn’t a clue
Io Vado a Roma…Bella
