A to Z Challenge

In The Lockdown - Masks and Making the best of working at home

Making the best of working at home.

My dining table has now become my work table.

Grateful I have a job and the ability to work from home. 

Should we wear masks?  So many different opinions on whether masks should be worn or not.

By and large the view is that if you have any symptoms then you should wear a mask as it prevents the spread to others, but that if you are healthy and symptom free then masks don't really protect.

I was impressed by the message given by the Czech Republic on wearing masks. Their message of I protect you, you protect me is quite powerful. (video link).

My view is that if you have a mask or have the ability to make one, wear one. I wore one when I picked up my medicines from the pharmacy and I will wear one again when I pick up my mother's medicines from the pharmacy next week.

Better safe than sorry.

Today's song reminds us of how much we take life for granted until something like this pandemic hits us or when we enter our twilight years.

Yesterday, when I was young

The taste of life was sweet as ran upon my tongue

I teased at life as if it were a foolish game

The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame 

I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out

I never stopped to think what life was all about ...

There are so many who will not live to see tomorrow. 

Please stay home, wear a mask if you can 

And save lives.

Music Monday - Yesterday When I Was Young

 
   Having just celebrated a birthday, I sat back and thought about
   my life so far - all the ups and downs, the happy times and sad
   ones and then as I thought about a song for Music Monday,
   this one came to mind - "Yesterday When I Was Young" by
   Shirley Bassey.


Shirley Bassey is an amazing singer and I think amongst all my favourite female singers, she is my most favourite. I just love her voice. She also sang some amazing songs.

"Yesterday When I Was Young" reminds me that there are still many many years of living to do and many songs still left to sing.

So here it is:



Hope you enjoyed this song and wish you all a fabulous day.

Lyrics:
Yesterday when I was young
The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
The way the evening breeze may tease the candle flame 

A thousand dreams I dreamed
The splendid things I planned
I always built alas on weak and shifting sand
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day
And only now I see how the years ran away

Yesterday when I was young
So many lovely songs were waiting to be sung
So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see 

I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
I never stopped to think what life was all about
And every conversation I can now recall
Concerned itself with me and nothing else at all

Yesterday the moon was blue
And every crazy day brought something new to do
I used my magic age as if it were a wand
That never saw the waste and emptiness beyond 

The game of love I played with arrogance and pride
And every flame I lit too quickly quickly died
The friends I made all seemed somehow drift away
And only I am left on stage to end the play 

There are so many songs in me that won't be sung
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
The time has come for me to pay
For yesterday....
when I was young.....
