Day 23–15 April 2020
Oh dear, I’m late with my journal entries. I have had a couple of busy days, so I’m two days behind!
My morning walk with ‘Pip the Dog’ was hassle free, although I have been wondering whether to report something to the Police or not. On our walk we walk through a small bit of wood to get to the fields that we then walk across. In the middle of this small wood, there has always been like a clay, shaped BMX bike track. It looks quite good, obviously someone over the years has developed it for kids or maybe adults. Recently I have noticed that there are new bits of mounds being created and saw the tools lying around the ground, a spade, a rake and an edger. Obviously someone is working on it and I am guessing is using it too. Are these kids, adults, what should I do? I left it!
Another day of work on the live online classes for Taiko West. We’re working our way through sending an email to all the weekly students, so they can join the classes from next week.
Things we had to do, draft the email, decided on class groupings, dependant on experience levels, explain the technology, create a landing page with instructions and a calendar of dates etc. It took many hours to complete and we haven’t yet done it. More work tomorrow, Thursday, but we want people to join us next Monday, won’t give them much time to get ready. Oh and some folks needed drum sticks too (Bachi), we had to get all that organised too with the Bachi maker.
I’m so looking forward to this going live and hopefully the students will enjoy the experience!
I was exhausted at the end of the day. In the evening we’d been watching the dramatised series called Quiz, this was about a couple and another person who allegedly managed to win £1 million on a game show called ‘Who wants to be a Millionaire’, but it was under very suspicious circumstances in where the contestant, the husband, really was very bad at it, but managed to get the questions correct after changing his mind and when his wife and another contestant coughed at exactly the right moment. It was a very bizarre series and not that well produced, but because it was a true story, it was half entertaining.
And that was my Wednesday!
