What will we be like after this? All back to normal? or changed for the better? or worse. Apparently China very much business as usual now. I would like to hang on to people knowing and appreciating the home at the centre of their lives, family, community, slowing down a bit, appreciating others. There are plenty of positives in our situation. And that's not to say that I don't think that the 16,000 death in the UK in unimportant because that's 16,000 grieving families.
Also masks! So we shouldn't use masks because it gives us a false sense of security, so we might get closer to someone than we should, unless they are surgical masks and we should leave those for medical people. But when we come out of lockdown then we might need to wear them. Some countries have it compulsory and some forbidden. As far as i can see they don't stop you catching the virus but they might stop you passing it on. So i think I might see if i can find some sensible online instructions. I assume the actual fabric does little and i shall need someway of inserting filters or...something.
And Kim @outmywindow I am still reading regularly but I cant comment anymore :(. So just wanted to say hi xx
Today Fahed is giving my bike a bit of a service, hopefully today. If there are no cars on the road then I might as well take advantage.
Lastly one of my favourite things at the moment is TV folk making programmes at home on their mobile phone or generally working from home. I missed this today but Martin CLunes forgetting he had an interview and rocking up in PJs and with his puppy for his interview is excellent!
Hello Lizzie. It's Cathy from Still Waters here.
ReplyDeleteI think there are gremlins in lots of blogs at the moment. I've been reading yours for a very long time (when finance and saving for retirement was your main topic) but haven't been able to comment for what seems like years.
It's hard to imagine life in the near future, guess we'll just have to take it slowly and see what is in store for us all
Take care - we've been told not to bother with masks down here in Australia......unless you are unwell
Ah how lovely to hear form you. I always read your blog but same problem, cant comment. And when i get comments on here then they no longer email to tell me. It must be something I am doing wrong. I write comment and then instead of loading it just disappears. We were told yesterday social distancing to end of year, so i feel masks will be in use at that point.
DeleteYeah - it actually went through :)
ReplyDeleteI wonder why you can't comment. I miss you. I just have to be thankful every day for my home and my safety. I worry about you and the people around you.
ReplyDeleteYes, its weird. Although i do have extra time on my hands now so will try a few things like changing my browser. Miss you too! And just read about your new grand daughters, Many congratulations xxx
DeleteTake care and stay safe xx
