A second wave of infections could hit us much harder, and I am already noticing people getting more careless; mandatory face masks in shops and on public transport seem to create a false sense of security for some.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-79547545530295562512020-05-17T20:44:52.083-07:002020-05-17T20:44:52.083-07:00I believe there have been several films with exact...I believe there have been several films with exactly the current theme; none of them ended well.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-77858073941408024162020-05-17T20:20:53.045-07:002020-05-17T20:20:53.045-07:00Friendships and family connections make all the di...Friendships and family connections make all the different at this time. -Jenncoffeeontheporchwithmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17618627688821849806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-11478846647036578612020-05-17T18:31:29.406-07:002020-05-17T18:31:29.406-07:00Busy, busy, busy.

It doesn't take long before a new routine is drawn up. I get chats through the window with my son and his wife, and have had a distanced cuppa in the garden with my daughter, and of course lengthy phone calls. However, I do like a hug with them and look forward to it being possible once more.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-10585588653774587262020-05-17T13:15:08.703-07:002020-05-17T13:15:08.703-07:00My chariot has been known to set off on its own in...My chariot has been known to set off on its own in the wind.
