Update from the house of Self-Isolation (Day 98 of Year 2)

Pandemic life:

Got a text this morning (6.19am) to say that all of Year 10 would be at home today due to three positive cases (one confirmed by PCR, the other two pending) and that hopefully most of them could return tomorrow. The 15 y.o.’s response: ‘Wow don’t love that’

Anyway, by 9am she was at her desk in front of her computer in her Totoro onesie…

It’s funny, because I’ve been wondering when to stop doing daily posts, and this was a nice reminder that HEY THERE’S STILL A PANDEMIC HAPPENING. Such fun. ETA: I mean, of course the pandemic is still there - life is all masks and social distancing and hand sanitiser, but I guess it's just become the norm.

But wait - it gets better!

This afternoon we had a message through that the eldest (who was here Friday-Sunday and has had both jabs) has covid! She's done 3 tests and they're all positive, so even though she hasn't had a PCR test yet it seems pretty conclusive. However we will all need to isolate until next week, yay! Here's to hoping we avoid being plagued (all tests are negative so far). And we had actual plans this week for going places and doing things!

Daily Dimash: Mademoiselle Hyde

Yet another Lara Fabian original - Igor Krutoy wrote the music and Lara wrote the lyrics, which has now been adapted for Dimash. Yet another gorgeous tune and the staging is A+.

Dimash - Mademoiselle Hyde ~ New Wave 2019 Sochi (Aug 24-29)


Lara Fabian performing the song:

This is an earlier performance, having been uploaded on 24 March 2019. Much more intimate - a small stage surrounded by a select audience, with an orchestra in the background.



And then this performance from his Arnau Tour (11.03.20). Quite a dramatic set-up, with dancers to illustrate the story.



Also a reaction video, since The Charismatic Voice did one on both Lara & Dimash, comparing & contrasting:

ETA: Oooh, the fans made a music vid! Nicely edited, and damn I wish Dimash would do some actual acting. He's definitely got it.
