In Scotland (elsewhere in the UK and the rest of the world, it appears) the number of cornavirus cases being admitted to hospital is rising; the death rate is rising.
The following photographs give a flavour of the economic impact that is starting to become evident. This is the pedestrian precinct in Milngavie this week.
A low budget clothing store preparing to close.
A pub frequented by some of Milngavie's older worthies of the male species is boarded up this week. The word is that it is 'being mothballed'.
The one saving grace of having one's activities curtailed, from a music point of view, is that I am doubling my practice time as I prepare for my piano lessons (Skyped) each week. I am discovering the wonderful music, (well, I should say, more wonderful music) of Phil Cunningham. Such a fine musician; up there with Paul McCartney I reckon... Anyhow, when looking for one of his tunes to play along with using my iPad I found this video. It has a wonderful joke right at the beginning - 1 minute 15 seconds in. It is here [it is number 2 of 2 videos of Phil and Ally Bain playing at Biddulph Town Hall in 2010; Number 201003232318241]
