Quiet summer burning heat slow down - Head pie update

Well its been a series a weeks of heat. Not a nice dry heat but a thick humid heat. Although not as severe as some previous years.

This has lead to hunkering down inside and not just due to the rampant Covid-19 in Tokyo and Japan.



One of my children is on summer holiday. Brief pool respites and then back inside to the sacred air conditioner. Trying to work up some motivation to do something useful.

Usually i read a book.



Numbers going up and up. Not good, not terrible…

I do wonder what the ceiling of this present wave of Delta variant is, when it will wane.

Raining the last few days, quite heavily. Perhaps that may keep people at home more. Although the Olympics did not keep enough people watching at home as the local covid numbers went up.



For a few days it has cooled down. Even needed a blanket last night…

Managed to brave the rain for a run this morning before i turned to jelly.

Still my running iem choice. Campfire Audio Mammoth. Just the right balance of everything as i trundle along. Tried a few, what works for quiet at home or commuting might not work for exercising. Paired with iBasso CF01 bt - mmcx and Hidizs AP80. Been mostly stuck inside due to extreme heat and then rare heavy rain for a few weeks.

Got a few reviews coming up, not many as i have pulled back from the endless flow of review units. Aim

is for ten reviews or so in 2021 - it is quite time consuming.

Most hospitals here are private and many do not want covid patients so most are being asked to recover (survive) at home. 

We are pretty much on our own here in Japan. The govt does not seem to have much of a plan.

Some ambulances phone around 100 hospitals trying to find a bed for people. Ridiculous.

Lots of cases in their 20s and 30s.

Vacfination numbers sre hoing up, but slowly. 

Many aged 20,30,40’and even 50s are still waiting for an appointment.

Pretty much no walk in places.

Its been a sad comedy of errors, half measures, govt wanting the Olympics and a general bullshit shitshow overall.

Most people i think still dont realize the main point of transmission is airborne still.

Time off means some catching up on other hobbies. Here is the classic view-master 3D.

Cataloguing reels so i do not double up. I wont try to complete as there are 1000s, not to mention variations from around the world.

Its a good way to travel around the world whilst in covid times - simpler times are depicted.

I usually pop on a few cds or connect a dap to the home system.

Ah corona lifestyle can be hell for some. I like staying at home, for the most part - but i am sure many want to go out more and many probably are still.

I would like to get my children to see their grandparents as we have behaved and followed directions, but its been so long and zoom just does not do it well enough.

A nice long meal in a decent restaurant would also be nice once a week…but closed spaces with random people…



November 1918.

History repeats.

Most know now its a airborne virus first and foremost.

- imagine cigarette smoke spreads around a room.

Droplets and surfaces are the least form of transmission.

Wear a mask to protect others more than yourself - one is infectious 3-15 days before symptoms even show up, so we could be spreading the virus with our loved ones without knowing we are sick.

I get my second pfizer this Thursday. It wont prevent me catching it, but it will be less severe and less chance of hospitalization and/or dying if i did not get vaccinated.



School of Lego for the youngest. Getting out the Lego sets that the oldest challenged on. We always had a big loose box - but something about following directions and a plan is good for brain growth as well as free play.



Life goes on

Not only running, but mixing it up with some biking.

Exploring the wider neighborhood has been fun on my new bicycle as one cant really travel or go out as you never know the risk.



Reviews - as mentioned several times on this site i have lessened the amount i do and am more at the enjoyable enthusiast stage again than a busy reviewer.

I like trying gear, but i also want a life and time for other activities.



Head pie memes have come back and as usual are painted with a wide brush. I do not agree with a lot of the memes i make, some i do  - i just randomly channel stuff without really putting in much thought. I laugh at myself when i read them, hopefully others can also have a laugh at themselves and our community.

Enjoy

And take care everyone

Its not all doom and gloom…hope…
