Well, my other half is feeling rubbish (tiredness, headache), so we are currently waiting for the result of a lateral flow test... :( He is due to have his booster on Saturday! ETA: Hurrah, it's negative (for now at least). Blessed be the lateral flow tests for giving peace of mind.
Which was not at all what I meant to post.
There is so much covid stuff and politics and... *waves hands* And I am too tired to write about it, but on the plus side tomorrow is my last day at work! (Presuming Darcy's not plagued, in which case I will be working from home, yay. /sarcasm) Generally I like working from home, but it'd be nice to be in tomorrow to tie everything up properly.)
Anyway, thanks to following Dimash I know that today is the 30th anniversary of Kazakhstan’s independence day! 🇰🇿 Here is a photo of Dimash's parents from earlier today, clearly part taking in some kind of celebration - they look like a painting, it's amazing. Kazakh culture & history is fascinating, it's one the real joys of this whole rabbit hole I have fallen into.
Daily Dimash: Ómir Óter
Anyway, for the occasion there is a gorgeous new song, Ómir Óter. You can read about it (explanations of how the song came to be and the imagery used in the music video) here: “Omir Oter”: Ode to Life. It is beautiful and deep and unusual and gorgeous.
Reflections on the transience of life, its meaning, and the eternal question of how to walk your way with dignity and how to leave a trace...
