Bienvenidos! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17/6/20 I have managed to get on Songline twice this week. Monday was a mantra the world could use: It felt good to sing again. I haven't done much singing the past month, apart from the defiant belting a couple of weeks ago. I missed the uplifting short harmonies that the songline leaders teach. I miss singing in a group. Sometimes E will sing with me. He has an incredibly good ear for melody and harmony and I would love to nurture that. I went for a good long walk with one of my friends from my pre-lockdown singing group on Sunday: along the beach, round the marine lakes and back past the posh seafront mansions, just talking. Proper soul- baring conversation. She lost her dad recently, not to covid, and she lived with him too, so different circumstances, and just as painful. She asked a lot of questions as to why my default response to so many things was guilt, and suggested I look at trying meditation as a way to try and re-wire some of that. I have never tried meditation before. Always thought I was too busy and too fidgety to be able to do it, but I'm willing to drop my prejudices and have a go. The walk was so satisfying... just to get out of the house and spend some time with a real friend, in person, even if I couldn't hug her when we said goodbye! I can't wait till we are allowed to hug again. When we can finally go and visit my parents they had better be ready because I will not be letting go... 9:29 p.m. - 2020-06-17 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
