These are truly unprecedented and uncertain times, which is why I decided to delete my last post re: my pooped mojo, what a twonk!!!
As the coronavirus surge gathers pace in the UK I want to scream ".... for goodness sake people, this is for real!", I just feel that some people can't see what is heading our way beyond the need to stockpile. What's with all the loo roll?
For Iris and Bertie school has now closed, which was heartbreaking to witness. How do you explain that there's no school, no swimming, no Rainbows and no dancing etc. etc. for a long long time? Tom and Laura will be taking over the childcare between them, leaving me to #StayHome and be safe. Thank goodness for video calls! As a result I will not be venturing out again unless absolutely necessary and at the moment I can't imagine what that would possibly be for, then if/when we go into lockdown, Lu (who is now working from home) is all packed and ready to come down to me the second it's announced.
Marc (and Rick), you'll be glad to know are safe at the Worcester Cottage, which is wonderfully isolated, the thought of Marc being in London terrified me. Our usual Eurovision weekend, when we also celebrate Marc's birthday is obviously cancelled but we will be in contact all the time.
So ....... I have no excuse not to post now, with at least 12 weeks in front of me, I need to keep my body and mind active and absorbed, goodness only knows what I will be posting, a bit of everything I expect ........ but I will be here ...... and so will The Monkeys on my other channel ......
It is the same here in the U.S. We are hunkered down at home, grandchildren are "tele-schooling" in their homes and their parents are working from home whenever possible. It's a crazy time that I'm sure we'll all talk about for years to come. I'm sure it will change a lot of things in our lives, but I'm glad it won't change our ability to post online. I'll be looking forward to your blog posts. They're always a highlight of my day--even more so now.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are being sensible.I've had a friend tell me this morning that she went away for a 'sneaky' weekend to friends but it was alright because they live in the country. She doesn't realise that she was putting them at risk because she lives in a town and could have introduced the virus to them.
ReplyDeleteI'm keeping busy inventing different ways of keeping in touch. My sister has Parkinson's and so I haven't been able to visit her for several weeks now but I send her a text and tell her to make a cup of tea and sit down and then I telephone her and we sit in our own homes, have a chat and drink tea together.
For all of us in the crafting community staying at home for 12 weeks won't faze us (just so long as we can get our delivery shopping slots!!). It's like having christmas on constant re run. It will be others that go stir crazy and forget/bend the rules that will end up spreading this virus further. Norm is busy setting The Docs Chess board up and pouring over a dummies guide to playing chess!!Hugs Mrs A.
