While the situation seems horrendous and our hearts go out to those having sad, bad times ..
We can see an upside.
Being both in the " At risk " category,
We can take some comfort In a situation that we haven't chosen and can't influence.
We've been in lockdown for 8 weeks , since my Pneumonia .
We've evolved a different pace of life .
We go shopping only when absolutely necessary, about every 15 days, to the " big "town.. about the size of Henley in Arden.
We get there early doors, when nobody's around.
Then down to the village, early again, mid week, meeting few people on the way. Not one a stranger.. We pick up Fresh fruit, eggs and veg. And back home.
We are online and phone loved ones and cronies.
We're busy in the garden .
Not having TV, we're free from the media frenzy.
We get one newspaper on line, . But treat most of the opinions and predictions with a big pinch of salt.
It's rather comforting that nobody will come and bother us, tempt us or cause us any problems.
Eventually, we'll need to buy shoes and clothing, to match our new slimmer shapes. Light bulbs, etc, that Lidl doesn't sell.
Tonight there wasn't much in the radio, so I tapped on Jango radio streaming.
Asked Management to suggest an artist/band/ genre..
She came up with..Eartha Kitt.
Oh !.. It's been a wonderful night .
Anybody suggest another theme for next Saturday.. ?
