Шестого мая BRIAN MAY опубликовал видео, как он на коляске передвигается по больнице и подписал это сообщение:

«Проверка реальности! Для меня... Нет, вирус меня пока не поймал — слава Богу. Надеюсь, что вы все в безопасности. Но решение ослабить контроль вовсе не означает, что опасность куда-то уходит. Но я??? Да, я молчал, а причины...

Так же, как и чрезмерное напряжение и беспокойство из-за слишком многих потребностей... Я умудрился порвать ягодичную мышцу в момент чрезмерного садоводческого энтузиазма. Так что внезапно я оказался в больнице, где меня просканировали, чтобы выяснить, насколько сильно я на самом деле повредил себя. Оказалось, что я проделал тщательную работу — это было пару дней назад — и я не смогу какое-то время ходить... Или спать без особой помощи, потому что боль не утихает.

Итак, ребята... Мне нужно немного уйти в сумрак, полностью отдохнуть дома.

Пожалуйста, пожалуйста, не посылайте мне слова сочувствия — мне просто нужно немного исцеляющей тишины на некоторое время. Я вернусь, но мне нужен полный перерыв. ХОРОШО?

Спасибо. Берегите себя там!» #Brian_May #BrianMay

Reality check ! For me. No - the Virus didn’t get me yet - thank God. Hope you’re all keeping extra-safe out there. A decision to relax controls doesn’t suddenly make the danger go away. But me ?? Yes, I’ve been quiet. Reason ? As well as getting over-stretched and harassed by too many demands ... I managed to rip my Gluteus Maximus to shreds in a moment of over-enthusiastic gardening. So suddenly I find myself in a hospital getting scanned to find out exactly how much I’ve actually damaged myself. Turns out I did a thorough job - this is a couple of days ago - and I won’t be able to walk for a while ... or sleep, without a lot of assistance, because the pain is relentless. So, folks ... I need to go dark for a while, getting some complete rest, at home. Please, please don’t send me sympathy - I just need some healing silence for a while. I’ll be back - but I need the complete break. OK ? Thanks. Take care out there. Bri

If you've only ever had refried beans from a can, this should be the next recipe you cook. Homemade refried beans are a game-changer. Use just the right amount of olive oil to cook well-minced onions along with the beans and plenty of their broth. Smoked paprika adds a hint of smoky depth you can't quite put a finger on, my secret ingredient is a finishing splash of freshly squeezed lemon juice. I think it's the element that helps keep the beans from seeming too heavy, and the acidity counters the starchiness of the beans.

My first job out of college was teaching biology, chemistry, physics, and vocational agriculture at Triway High School in rural Wooster, Ohio. I lasted for six weeks. The school environment was such a downer, from the smoke-filled teachers’ lounge to my young co-workers who were teaching mainly, it seemed to me, to avoid service in Vietnam. So when a reporting job became available, I jumped on it, leaving Ohio forever. Years later I returned to teaching, this time at Stanford University, where I worked for six years. Now, 37 years after Stanford, I’m teaching my kids at home thanks to COVID-19. You may be teaching your kids, too. This column is my attempt to make your job easier. It’s not that I’m God’s gift to […]
