My first attempt at something like this so it should be an interesting ride. |

Tuesday (I think) 28th April 2020 I think it’s quite amusing that now we are all restricted to our homes and having to entertain ourselves, we start writing about our lives but the only thing going on is that we are locked up in our own homes with nothing going on. I have been off work since the 23rd March and it seems a lot longer than that. Going from a forty-hour work week to a week of trying to keep busy is a bit of a culture shock. This is the longest spell that I have ever had out of work in my adult life. (I’m 62) Luckily, I am healthy and fit enough to go on a daily bike ride. That usually eats up at least two hours of my day. Then I try to keep busy writing emails and playing Football Manager 2020. If anyone reading this plays FM20 please let me know. That game is so addictive. |
| Music often has the ability to remind us of old memories. In your entry today, be inspired by a specific piece of music or a musical instrument. What feelings/emotions does the music or instrument stir in you? Share a specific memory your chosen song or instrument reminds you of. Choose just one piece of music? That’s like asking a parent who is their favourite child! I think music memories for me break down into three different categories. There are a ton of songs that remind me of my family members. I can’t hear Nat King Cole without thinking of my dad. My grandad loved Jim Reeves but I don’t hear too many of those songs on the local classic rock channel! My kids sitting in the back of the car singing along to the currant pop song. They loved Last Christmas by Wham and Real Gone Kid by Deacon Blue. I can hear them singing now. Another category would be sporting memories inspired by certain songs. Eighties, English pop brings back loads of football memories for me. Gives me shivers down my back just thinking about them. Teenage years is probably my favourite category. You were going to be young forever and never complain about the music that the kids are listening to these days! I did stop myself once from shouting to my kids in their bedrooms to lower the music. That was a close one. |
