Day 42 — Monday 4 May 2020
May the 4th be with you!
The main news from my walk with ‘Pip the Dog’ was that a dog walker ensured that he ran with his dog in order to get ahead of us on the fields. His dog’s name is Poppie! Wow never thought I would see that during COVID19. Never mind this period on planet earth is affecting everyone in different ways. The only leader in the world who I would vote for to become actually the leader of the whole world is Jacinda Ardern, the New Zealand Prime Minister, who called it right very early on and has proven that early action was necessary. Well done to her!
I visited New Zealand in April 2005 and it is in my humble opinion THE most beautiful country on earth. If I had the opportunity to live there, I would move in a heartbeat. Below is a picture I took whilst being on the south island. I was there on my own as a single man at the time, but never felt lonely and drove around 2,000 miles on the south and north islands.
The rest of Monday was spent on Taiko West, adjusting, amending and improving communications in the morning and then in the afternoon, one lesson and another one at 7pm. They both went quite well. This week, we’re teaching the monthly drummers how to play Taiko Online and next week, we’re going live with paid classes, I feel a sense of achievement, although it’s not even my business. I work on the project as if it is though!
Michael out…
