In the darkness you played
Each note passed me through
In the darkness I laid
Bound by the sound of you.
It is getting late here and Smallsteps is coughing her little lungs out - so I will stay up a bit longer and hopefully she calms a bit. It looks like she will be home from daycare another few days, as she had been the last few. With Covid restrictions, she has to have a clear day of no symptoms in order to go.
So with a little time to spare, I continued testing the new camera and wanted to see how it would go in darker conditions and chose the inside of the piano to see if anything interesting would arrive.
There was low lamp light from the other side of the room, but nothing direct except for the fifth shot. These are handheld with a range of settings.
I think they are pretty cool in black and white and I think at some point I might try to get a couple nice ones that could go up on the wall. I like having original art on the walls and since I can't afford to buy, my own will have to do.
The piano itself is no Steinway, but it is in good condition and has been loved a long time. Smallsteps has been playing it a lot today and singing along to her "tunes". It is pretty cute.
What isn't cute, is not having slept for a few nights well and then working throughout the days and night. Though, I burned 2000+ calories taking down a wall and doing some work in the garden. My head is more tired than my body.
My body isn't in prime condition though and I have been eating far too many autumn pies of late, so any calories burned probably still won't be enough. Once we are all healthy (wife is ill and I am on the way), I will start exercising more. There is a new gym at work that is free to use, so I might be able to squeeze in a short session there and a longer session at my local own gym. I haven't been for ages and it shows.
Well, one bit of good news is that while I have been writing and editing the images, Smallsteps has settled and hopefully she will sleep through. She has been getting up at five in the morning lately and since it is almost two now, there hasn't been a huge amount of unbroken sleep. So... Bedtime.
That wasn't too dark. :)
