Mrs
Darce is thankfully almost fully recovered from what we assume was a
dose of this dreaded virus. She was wiped out for three weeks and
says it was the most ill she has ever felt. She has managed a few
walks over the last few days, but is still pretty pooped afterwards.
As I mentioned here (twelve days ago now) I also wasn't feeling too
good. Fortunately my symptoms didn't develop and after four days I
was feeling OK again and have been since. I did manage to get a test
in the end, although by the time I took it (a week ago now) it was
six days after I had first shown symptoms and I was back to feeling
fine. I did test positive though. So I think we can safely assume Mrs
Darce was also positive, and I would appear to have got off very
lightly. I would like to think we now have some immunity, but you
just don't know.
The
cataloguing of my 12” singles collection is now complete (at least
until I buy another one!). 45 Worlds tells me I have 411 of them. I
finished this task a few days ago and I am missing it already. I
shouldn't need a reason to interact with the various nooks and
crannies of my record collection but somehow that was the way it was
with my 12s. Lots of memories were stirred and it was great to be
immersed in so much feel good music. It has always annoyed me that
bandwagon jumpers gave Disco a bad name. There was so much great
music that came out of the Disco era, tightly produced, beautifully
arranged. And it was uplifting, carefree, joyous, celebratory music -
and we could certainly do with some now in these strange times. Dance
your troubles away.
The
cataloguing exercise has confirmed something I already knew - I
bought a lot of 12” singles, particularly in 1979 and 1980. Here's one...
