Sunny Morning
Apr. 17th, 2020 10:02 amSo far a brighter morning and I hope it stays that way.
I have just completed the last of the three reports for the telephone mystery shops for the one company that is still doing work and have applied to do three more for them. All based on the same subject. So fingers crossed.
Up to season 3 of Spooks now. Terrific drama btw.

( Lyrics )
The Dream Syndicate is:

Helen Money - Midnight
Listen to "Midnight" and more from Helen Money's new album Atomic:
http://thrilljockey.com/products/atomic
Helen Money stands as one of the most unique and versatile cellists working today. Composer Alison Chesley uses the instrument to access and channel the extremities of human emotion, employing extensive sonic manipulation and an array of plucking and bowing techniques to summon an astonishing breadth and depth of sound. A prolific collaborator, Chesley is equally at home in both New Music and Metal circles. Past albums saw her collaborate with Jason Roeder (Sleep/Neurosis) and Rachel Grimes (Rachel’s), and she has toured extensively with Shellac, Russian Circles, Earth, Bob Mould and MONO. On her new album Atomic, Chesley pushes even further out towards the extremes of her output with a daring leap forward in her songwriting through minimalist arrangements that stand as her most intimate, direct, and emotionally bare work to date.

Only 9% of Britons want life to return to "normal" after the coronavirus outbreak is over, a survey suggests. People have noticed significant changes during the lockdown, including cleaner air, more wildlife and stronger communities.
More than half (54%) of 4,343 people who took part in the YouGov poll hope they will make some changes in their own lives and for the country as a whole to learn from the crisis. 42% of participants said they value food and other essentials more since the pandemic, with 38% cooking from scratch more (I would include myself on this aspect).
The survey found that 61% of people are spending less money (not particularly surprising as many have less to spend anyway), and 51% noticed cleaner air outdoors while 27% think there is more wildlife.
Two-fifths said there is a stronger sense of community in their area since the outbreak began and 39% say they are catching up with friends and family more.
The survey was commissioned by the Royal Society of Arts, alongside The Food Foundation, as part of its work to draw up an action plan for more sustainable food and farming, land use and the rural economy. The data shows that there is a real appetite for change and for the nation to learn from this crisis.
Alongside the emergency response it is important to keep track of these changes in what we are doing and our collective mood, to help shape the kind of country we want to be, including the way we want to feed ourselves when we recover from this pandemic.
This poll shows that the British people are increasingly aware that the health of people and planet are inseparable and it's time for radical environmental, social, political and economic change.
