The fields were very wet from all the rain we had overnight and yesterday, so consequently, the cows who roam the fields and leave their deposits all over the place, we (‘Pip the Dog’ and I) discovered some of them and I stepped in one. When it’s dry, you can see them easier and avoid them, when they’re wet you can’t!
I spent pretty much most of the day, working on Taiko West Taiko drumming stuff. Produced 2 tutorial videos, that James recorded yesterday and uploaded them to YouTube and then uploaded them to the relevant page on the online resources section. The song is called ‘Lockdown’, especially composed by James for obviously ‘Lockdown’!
Below I am sharing the slides that are being presented daily at the UK Government news briefing, which shows that now the UK is number one in Europe and number two in the whole world, when it comes to the amount of people that have died from Covid19, a pretty sad situation.
I remember when I heard the stories coming out of Italy and Spain and we had not had anything as yet in the UK, I was astounded and very shocked about how many people were dyeing every day, but somehow over the weeks and months you get ‘immune’, sorry for the obvious connection, to the numbers, especially in your own country. We have no where near been as locked down as in Italy, Spain and France. My uncle and aunt in France have to take a form with them when they go out, with a note of the time they left home, as they are only allowed out for an hour and to go no further than 1 km from home. Really we’ve had it easy in the UK, but not many realise that!
James delivered a further two live online Taiko drumming classes, the afternoon session went really well, but the evening session was fraught with technical issues caused by several of the attendees. It was really, really hard work. Afterwards I felt like screaming because the success of these online classes is totally dependent on either the IT experience of the individuals or the set up of their equipment and how old it is. I felt totally drained afterwards. And for some reason folks will not listen to simple instructions and they like to test the system to see if it will break and of course it does!
Michael out…
