Thanks, My memories of my Kiwi singing friend are good. Sad but she had a good life, and many health issues and in a High Care Home. SHe went gently in sleep, her daughter could speak with her, tho covered in head to toe with all the gear. I am just glad she was alive and we met. SHe was feisty and old school in many ways, raised by single mum, 2 years teachers college in the 50s, when it was only 2 years here too. But music and swimming were her things and they have also been my things. I was her best friend in a way, as the other choristers were more about snobbery than music or compassion. Give them an inch and they took a mile, be it best cook, best address, best dress. So immature but bad religion seems to bring out the competitive guilt tripper. Nothing to do with the spirit.

I am back from my walk, gently, gently, but been thinking for a while now that my breathlessness is medication related. Combined with blood pressure rises equals, not good. I am going to talk about it with "professionals". Maybe I should get a pool membership as I try and push my meds down. I can swim and remember her and my dad. Could only keep it up for a few months. Summer maybe, Covid allowing.
