Work. Work three times harder than usual. I am so jealous you all have so much time on your hands. I only just got off my laptop after typing up all my notes, knowing I already have more emails than I can handle waiting to greet me tomorrow.

I work from home generally one or two days per week. I thought five days a week would be a breeze. I was wrong. I'm hoping it's just because the rest of the world is getting used to remote working and finding their feet, and that it will settle down eventually. I really hope so

Ive just lifted the lid on my piano I've had for years and tinkled with a few keys and made a promise I'll try and play something.

There are a few useful online courses out there, depending on your level (and the type of piano you have)
