ThatIsBeyond… Covid-19 finding my voice again

Having had somewhat more time in my hands than predicted, I seem to have developed a coping mechanism that sees me through the loop de loops and ups and downs of this COVID coaster. My life has changed exponentially since lockdown began. It is unrecognisable to me and I am most certainly a different man …

Thatisbeyond…Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them.
