Well I have my first Zoom party hangover so that is a thing now. It was a fun evening though and I enjoyed my role as facilitator with all the power 🙂 We talked nonsense – people went ‘out’ for a smoke (and switched to 1-2-1 Messenger convos), we did shots and I left early…so the usual really. Except friends who now live in Bromsgrove, Dumfries and Auckland were on the call – which was brilliant. We will try it again at Easter.

It was a weird birthday but it could have been a lot worse. I mean I doubt 47 was going to be a thriller whatever (though someone did say they thought it was my 50th – the last few weeks have clearly been hard on me!)

This massively cheered me up though – from Sahai (and Sara and Al)

Today I haven’t done much at all. I had chilli for the third day in a row….I’m having the last of my wine…and there is no beer. I’ll have to pop to the shop tomorrow and hope the little Tesco Metro is still avoiding the locusts.

The news remains scary and anxiety inducing so I’m mainly avoiding it today as I’m already fragile.

I kind of feel like I should be doing *something* but to be honest I think I’m just going to sit here and try to distract myself.
