Starting to read some blogs ....and reading some lovely posts..I must stop lurking and make a comment or two.
The house if full here with both students at home and their Dad (a teacher) working from home..well trying to... it's a work in progress.
Our city is in 'Hunker Down' mode and most stores and facilities are closed. But on the bright side there are stores in the grocery shops (at present) and we can enjoy the parks and trails if we keep quite the physical gap ...and people seem to be adapting well to that and are often more inclined to call a friendly greeting in these strange times. The dog must wonder why the holidays have come early this year.
The news ...is the news.... and I need to ration the time I spend looking at it ...otherwise it is infuriating/depressing/worrying all those adjectives and many more.
I also find too much news makes you start to feel unwell and a 'good walk' has the opposite effect so logic decrees exercise should win the day.
The ducks are happy that it's not so darn cold at night at the moment.. below freezing but not way below and the good quackers are laying nicely. Which in these times I truly appreciate.
Samuel West (son of Prunella Scales and Timothy West) is reading poems and uploading them to sound cloud for all to enjoy (which is both lovely and kind)
here's a link to one of his readings to start you off click HERE
This week I intend to sew face masks using one of these tutorials and I'd like to work a little on family history as a sanity saver (I just hope I don't send others round the twist)
so ending good thoughts and wishes I'm off to make a coffee and to gather up a tub of fire wood
you just take care xxxx
