I am not feeling 100%. Lethargy, snotty nose and sneezing. These are not the symptoms of the Corona Virus (depending on what chart you look at) so there is only one conclusion to reach. The virus has mutated and become super Corona virus and I am about to die. I have made peace with this and the fact that my family are not going to be able to avoid it and are dead too. We had a good knock. Apart from my wife and two kids who are definitely much too young.
How many people are going to self-isolate with a cold and then come out thinking they’re immune and have to self-isolate again? And if all cultural events are cancelled now, isn’t there a danger that in a month’s time people will be bored and start going out again, just as the virus is doing its worst/best (depending whose side you are on - I am kinda rooting for the virus. It’s an underdog, like Trump, who is really going to shake things up).
I had my online meeting, which was definitely more confusing than doing it in person, but it was with the people from Twitch and if I can get my act together in time this might be an excellent way to continue to perform through the pandemic. In wartime entertainment becomes less sophisticated and by the end of all this self-playing snooker could become the most popular sport in the UK.And maybe the only sport in the UK. Betting companies might only survive if they get on board NOW. I am open to sponsorship. I will finally get to show my wife that I haven’t been wasting my time in the attic/basement. Or indeed doing what she assumes I am doing. Well not all the time.
Most of the time though.
It's a bad time to get ill with something else though. And this is just a reaction to my tough weekend where I pushed myself too far, proving it was the right decision to make this the last IWD marathon. I tried to self-medicate with a couple of old-fashioneds tonight, interspersed with Lemsip. I'll let you know if that turns out to be the cure.
RHLSTP with Bethany Black is now up
on audio We are going back to one podcast a week now in case the Coronavirus impacts on our recording schedule. So far nothing has been cancelled though. But check with my twitter/theatre before making the trip.
