So, no flying, no climbing mountains, singing, dancing, playing clarinet (bye-bye grade 6 next month), or most other enjoyable activities.
I'm going to see the show tonight, and visit backstage. Everyone's been texting and calling to see how I am, which was really nice. I'll be back on tomorrow or the next day, just speaking my lines, no movement or vocals.
The rain we knew is a thing of the past -
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.
Derek Mahon
