Hold hard, me handsome hearties!
He yells above the storm
Together we’ll get through this
if our duties we perform.
Through stormy days and stormy nights
our trusty craft will sail
So have a care and to your posts
and we’ll survive this gale.
Through life’s uncertainties we’ll steer
a course that’s not foretold
We’ll overcome the challenges
with the fortitude of old.
So join me now and have good cheer
cast all your doubts away
with hope and strength and kindness
we’ll survive another day.

This was an ‘early lockdown’ response. It still holds true unfortunately. Pleased to hear it’s nothing worse than seasonal stuff, but draining nevertheless.
Keep safe, all of you. C xxx
