Year 2 of Lockdown, Day 74

Today just vanished... had a very late & lazy morning, then went round to in-laws in the afternoon (older sister-in-law & family had come down from Scotland, so we got to see them for the first time 18 months!) where we hung out in the garden all afternoon (beautiful sunshine and all adults had at least one shot!) and then came home & watched the 2nd half of the first LotR movie (we are introducing the 15 year old). And now it's late. Anyway, very nice day. ♥

Daily Dimash 6: Adagio



(It's late, so I will probably come back & add more links in the morning... For now, all I'll do is link you to a performance of Adagio by Lara Fabian, whose song it is. She is amazing, and I am thrilled to have discovered her.) ETA: Dimash was (is) a huge Lara Fabian fan, and when she saw this performance of Adagio she wrote to him to congratulate him, and they have since performed together several times, which was a literal dream come true for him. One more 'Adagio' now added under the cut. :)

Tomaso Albinoni - Adagio (best live version - instrumental)


ETA: Delightful reaction video:

Although everyone should absolutely also watch Lara Fabian performing the song - the music video they check out in the reaction above is... not representative.
