Yoga, telly, cleaning – how I’m staying sane during these crazy times

I can handle the coronavirus crisis, Jenny Eclair tells herself, if I take it one day at a time, and don’t look beyond tonight’s telly

Odd what makes you cry, isn’t it? Things that have thrown me off balance this week have included a clip of the recently-departed Kenny Rogers singing a duet with Dolly Parton in 1985.

In this clip, Dolly makes a “surprise” appearance at one of Kenny’s concerts, walking through a huge, delighted audience with a phalanx of minders to join her delighted pal onstage to belt out “We Got Tonight” – sob.

More oddly, because I’ve never been a fan of people playing the piano, I lost it over a tweet posted a couple of days ago by a self-isolating Andrew Lloyd Webber. There was Andrew on his Joanna, thrashing out “All I Ask of You” from Phantom of the Opera. This left me crying almost as hard as the sight of a completely empty red London bus trundling past my house.
