It’s five a.m. Woken by the sun shouting through the curtains. Hooray for the sun. Boo for the hour. Catnapped a bit, read for a bit. Put some washing out while the sun shone. Felt quite the housewife, to have it out so early. Zoom dance workshop at ten a.m. Something new, worth a try. It was interesting, having to discover and create movement, to narrate four verses of a psalm. I was challenged by having to go straight into movement, without exploring the words first. I guess that’s because I am a words person first, before anything else. Oops, disaster. Lost internet connection. But I bravely found my way back into the workshop, covered in confusion. A newcomer in so many ways! In the afternoon we went to Horsforth for a birthday barbecue. Husband John’s first drive out – other than for medical appointments – for three months, so that was exciting. It was a great “bubble gathering”. Probably too big: there were fourteen of us, all close family. But hey, we were in the fresh air – and we were together, at last. We took photos to send to siblings in Israel, Germany and France, so that they were with us too. What a good day.
