Chapter 145. Sedentary is just another word for slumped.

The scene takes place in the kitchen of a traditional country cottage. A door at the front of the room opens into an entrance porch, and the back door opens to a garden with more than adequate quantities of lavender. There is a table and chairs, a Cappuccino maker and the the front window overlooks a village green. There is evidence of cricket, but no match is currently taking place.

(sound of a front door bell being rung)

h: Who the bloody hell is that?

(incidental music wafts across the scene)

Ant: Morning h

h: Ah Anthony, how are we?

Ant: I'm really well, how are you?

h: Come on in...

Ant: I will do thank you.

(the incidental music gets a little more present, but quickly backs off again)

h: Did that sound staged?

Ant: Just a little, but it'll be fine.

h: It'll be fine, yes.

A short pause

Ant: I'm going to embrace the whole lounge pant thing next time, I'm going to put my University of New Hampshire lounge pants on.

h: You should indeed

The dialogue fades away to a pre-recorded VoiceOver and the scene is set for another chapter of TCD (sorry Lucy)

About the Podcast

The Corona Diaries
Steve Hogarth
Lead singer of Marillion, father, hippy, punk, soul singer, progressive rockstar (wtf!), defender of the faith, voice of reason in a world gone crazy...

...and now podcaster.

Join me as I talk about my life and what is rambling around in my head.

Along the way I will focus on some of the stories that have shaped my career and my life, as well as reading from my diaries and offering my take on the wider world.

Stay safe,

h

P.S I began this journey just as CoVid-19 took hold and changed our lives, possibly forever, so it seems apt to reference that in the naming of the podcast.

I have been tinkering with audio since my mid-teens, recording songs & producing content for friends.

Post university I embraced the world of retail, firstly in supermarkets and later in & around the music instrument industry.

After 20 years or so, I took a sideways step into podcasting and began a venture called ashortstories, which helps in the development & production of podcasts for anyone that has a story to tell.
