And here she is! Welcome to my playroom/home office: a Yamaha P515 digital piano! The last time I had a piano was maybe..2002, when I left Tokyo. I acquired the instrument in the early 90s, when I first started piano lessons, something I begged my parents for. The cheapest one we could afford, and accompanied by parental threats of “you’ll never be allowed to quit this” and their unsubtle judgment that there was no way I deserved such a thing. I took lessons for 10 years as I switched gears to percussion in high school. Having not touched a piano since 2002, a couple weeks ago I had an urge to play. A bit of research pointed to this beauty - Yamaha’s most recent rendition of a real piano, digitised. So stoked. Thank you husband @benwmorgan for making my small dreams come true, unconditionally and with no judgment, everyday. #birthday #lockdownbirthday #lockdownleisure https://www.instagram.com/p/CIIs1tTna5pfeKA2IEudWLNo2mprGlYJJOLKho0/?igshid=np74crovlp3p

A 52km bike ride to and from Hampton Court Palace today and I can feel it in my legs. A lovely day out though, even if that last hill home was rather gruelling, hard work. Would like to go back and see Hampton Court properly when all this is over; it comes up in the Wolf Hall trilogy fairly regularly. #lockdownleisure (at Hampton Court Palace) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAljir_HfQH86Afukf_7Evdv7Aam281oz3Egf40/?igshid=10h33on44jq1z

A day of gardening (watch this space: a veg bucket!), a @kamadojoeuk steak dinner (thank you hubs @benwmorgan) and now vino and candlelight and a lovely book in the garden. Trying to make the most of this lockdown. #lockdownleisure #flattenthecurve https://www.instagram.com/p/B_8FFDvHLopH3DFdckU0nE1YEPuPvHd0uiVlBU0/?igshid=epxnk9rwk6bz

This week’s sourdough turned out ridiculously beautiful. Haven’t tasted it yet so will report back on that. Created a video feed for those interested in starting their own sourdough adventure ☝🏼 #lockdownleisure #flattenthecurve https://www.instagram.com/p/B_W9Tc5nKCw3y8kn3kfHEZ4i2V-v6br6bBLpD00/?igshid=1j0mrswtv5750

So @benwmorgan and I both ordered flowers for each other/the home from @bloomandwild and they arrived on the same day! So here’s the combo bouquet 💐 #lockdownleisure #flattenthecurve https://www.instagram.com/p/B_VZEb7Hmn7fpvoj1Ww_xTw1uC_cQUXODHjJgw0/?igshid=1bgcj7cu4ma93

The stages of sourdough bread making - to answer some questions I‘CW put up a slightly awkward Insta story of the process ☝🏼 for anyone interested 🍞 #lockdownleisure #flattenthecurve https://www.instagram.com/p/B_U-9uhHkAMhaUa0wj4w45dbCiRm9rJ0CuNPMY0/?igshid=388a0vfeg7me
