I'm sure, by now, most of you have been told to STAY AT HOME. Right now, I feel so thankful that I have a garden to spend time in. It must be awful for those who have no outside space that they can use. I thought I would just share a little photo of Benji, my little Cavapoo, having a good snuffle around outside....
Unfortunately. There are a lot of people who are still not taking this Corona Virus seriously. That is why so many Countries have had to take the action they have, and we find ourselves in a virtual lockdown situation.
The Virus does not move - It is people who are moving the Virus.
It was Mothering Sunday here a couple of days ago. Normally, people would be attending Church and the children would be handed little posies of flowers to give to their mums. Restaurants would be packed with families, large and small, celebrating this special day. This is my dear mum, who is still thought of each day, even though she passed away some 24 years ago.
This year, of course, it was completely different, as restaurants were closed and people were urged not to visit their mums, as most of them would be in the vulnerable category of being over 70. My friends and I feel we have aged ten years in the past couple of weeks, as we are so fed up with being labelled 'elderly'!! 🤣. I had a parcel delivered here a few days ago, and the delivery man asked for my date of birth. It was so funny to see him scrolling down for ages on his little machine until he reached 1947! We did smile - you have to keep your sense of humour, don't you?! Talking about sense of humour ....
Thank heavens for modern technology at this particular time! There are so many ways to keep in touch with family and friends. I particularly like the video chats via WhatsApp, Skype or Facebook Messenger. My daughters told me about Houseparty, and now all the family are on it, including the grandchildren. It really is fun! You can pop in whenever you want, and we have had the whole family on there together, which is great! Trouble is, you usually all end up talking at the same time!
To be honest, I'm having more social interaction some days than before, and I'm thinking ... 'I just want to read my book'!! It is so important to keep this contact going though , so that you do not feel so isolated from the outside world.
I hope you are finding things to do during these times. I'm doing plenty of reading, I'm writing in my Journal, spending time in the garden, I've found a really good jigsaw App, and I've decided to have a go at watercolour painting again.
We had such a terribly wet Autumn and Winter, but it seems that someone is now looking after us, because ever since we have been told to stay at home, the sun has been shining brightly with clear blue skies. Still a little chilly, but that's not a problem. So! I am so grateful for that.
I've just realised that I haven't even touched on the panic buying in the Supermarkets - for goodness sake!! 🙈🙈. But let's not go there!!
So then everyone, please take good care of yourselves and KEEP SAFE. Sending virtual hugs to you all.
This was me sat in the garden yesterday, reading my book. Notice the blue sky! Bye for now ❤️

You look so pretty and happy to see blue skies. This post was entertaining. I face time with my three great grandsons and it is a hoot as they all talk at once. Stay safe.
Hi Linda. Yes, we must all stay safe in these uncertain times. It's funny about all talking at the same time, isn't it?! Your three great grandsons are just so cute! 💙💙💙. It is rather lovely to have those blue skies! Thank you for popping over ❤️
Lovely photos
I am home alone as per usual coping the best I can
