Locked down with my Ukulele 49

These are strange times and “The times they are a-changing”!

It’s been a while but I’ve been busy and really not had the “head space” to be able to think. I’m sure that I’m not the only one.

Changes seem to keep happening and most of them are beyond our individual control.

I started this blog a while ago and not much has changed. The vaccine program seems to have done well and people are thinking about things returning to “the new normal”. What ever that looks like.

I reflect on the last couple of years and realise that I am not the same person that I was. In many ways I am. But in many ways I cannot be. I’ve locked down with my ukulele and played the same tunes (a few but not as many as I might have). I have realised that I am not designed to be alone.

“The times they are a-changin’ (Bob Dylan)

I have this tune in my DNA. It was written about the time of my birth and was released the year after. So it has been around all my life. The thing that intrigues me is that I can’t recite any other lyrics than those in the title. I must have heard it thousands of times but it’s those phrases “for the times they are a-changin”

It does take on a different meaning now.

Stay safe  

PS It’s been two or three years since I last wrote. It was the above that I wrote at the time. The pandemic was slowly releasing it’s grip on the world but things were still not back to “normal”.

For me there were dramatic events that lead to some shocking changes, which were thrust upon me. I will document those as a lot has occurred in the interim. I died!
