On Becoming a Hermit, Sort of ... Day 32

Day 32
(Friday, 17th April 2020)

Another routine day, really. I continue to attempt to wash anything the current incumbent of the White House says from my mind. He is quite frankly so full of mind sewage, principally because, despite his pathological narcissism, he must know his credibility and reputation around the World is very poor; he is a joke and it would be a joke if it weren't for the fact he is the President of the United States and is therefore a threat to us all. So I'm not even going to report anything except that, in the extreme, he is clearly trying to divert attention away from his inadequacies by creating external 'enemies' of America.
Bloody stupid man!


As every day she does, B spent more constructive time in the garden, which its getting to look better and better. For the small part I play in that, I did a bit more work on paths and steps down towards the bottom of the garden. The dry weather continues to help these causes and sources of much needed salve and therapy for us both.
Today's choice of music from Clemency Burton-Hill's "Year of Wonder", is "Ellis Island" by Meredith Monk. Monk is described by Burton-Hill as a "multi-talented American composer, choreographer, director and filmmaker". Monk was invited to make a film about Ellis Island, "which had been the iconic point of entry for millions of immigrants to the USA". This track is, Clemency says, ""like a distillation of Monk's work in microcosm". It is a rather dreamy, mesmerising and lovely piece of music.
