This rock chick is currently out of commission, alas. There was I, so worried that my back wouldn’t be up to a whole 20 minutes a day learning and practising (10 in the morning, 10 in the afternoon), and now here I am with a strained neck, left shoulder, left elbow and a touch of tendinitis in the left wrist. No more strumming until Tuesday at the earliest. Other than a few ‘warning shots across the bows’, my back’s been fine. Ya couldn’t make it up!
The wait for my new green guitar grows ever longer, due to manufacturing delays. The people of Asia are suffering terribly from the pandemic. The original delivery day was today, but the expected delivery date has gone from early May to late May to mid-June.
I’m certainly not bitching (people are dying, for flip’s sake), just letting you know what’s going on.
So, plenty of time for reading, as it happens. Two thirds of the way through Memory of Blood: I hadn’t realised there were so many characters in the ‘Punch and Judy’ pantheon – Scaramouche is a particularly interesting ‘stock’ literary character . . .
