Positives:

Got a second 6V PSU for OT MK1 use in other parts of the house. I love the OT so much.

Walked 3 miles yesterday and saw a good friend. We kept a 20 foot buffer and sat in her courtyard and had an hour long chat. Some of her neighbors chimed in from their windows. The weather was great.

Another good friend who is a prepper dropped two N95 masks off for me, since I am high risk for infection. And he got half a bottle of high proof bourbon from me in appreciation.

My wife wants to use the Analog Keys for her online piano lessons since her cheap Yamaha has no velocity. #nerd

Spring is in the air.

Housemate triumphantly came home with toilet paper this morning! (crisis averted) She also picked up some sort of caramel latte icecream that was damn tasty.

Gonna watch the last episode of Picard after I take a nap.

Today is a good day.

A producer who teaches at the artist university close by is giving a 6 week webcam course for free. We meet up every Thursday, exchange a bit, and then he gets going with the course. Really cool.

After 5 months without, and starting really the first day of this quarantine,
the sun have been shinning here in Belgium every day on a blue sky with no clouds at all or neither any plane traceā€¦
So beautiful and magnificentā€¦:sunny:

I have just finished reading to my daughter the 6 books of Erin Hunterā€™s ā€œWarriors Catsā€ first cycle.
I had much fun doing the different voices: we laughed and cried together, such magnificent moments!

  • Dipped my toes into the world of podcasts.

  • Discovered that you can add folders to kindles after only having it for about 10 years. So itā€™s finally organised nicely and I can see Iā€™ve still got about 20 books to get through. Plus i think thereā€™s a new William Gibson out!

  • Apparently thereā€™s a mad rush for this yearā€™s flu vax but the pharmacy down the road had only just received their stock when I called and told me to come down. So thatā€™s one less thing to worry about.

  • Been restricting my news intake over the past week and itā€™s definitely helping with the anxiety levels

  • Discovered Bushmills 10yo single malt irish whiskey when it was on sale. Nothing special but still a decent drop, especially considering I just couldnā€™t get into the single malt scotches.

Neighbours clubbed together and left a big crate of food and drink on our doorstep with a card to say thanks for being healthcare workers.
Properly brought a tear to my eye :blush:

Conan Needs a Friend is my favorite right now. His Martin Short ones are the best.

After a dismal start to the league, my Dwarf team won their first match! 2 - 0 against the Lizardmen. Tough team to beat, but the Dwarves smashed em!

Donated a bunch of our kidsā€™ old clothes to our babysitter, whoā€™s seven months pregnant and moving back to Italy. She and her husband gave our kids a skateboard each (social distancing was observed). :slight_smile:

Ordered an ALM Mum M8 filter from London Modular, who I live walking distance from, in order to support a local small business despite them not being the cheapest place I could have ordered from (how could they be?). Added a noteā€¦ ā€stay safe London Modular crewā€. It arrived today with a hand written message: ā€œmay this filter bring you many a basslineā€.

Kids even got on with each otherā€¦ today was a good day.
