A Plus To The Virus....?

[rowanwitch]

Time, something we are so short of these days... Time to do things we enjoy either alone like lazy baths, good books, rubbish tv, whatever without thinking of all the other stuff you could be doing or with the family. Time to talk, to play silly games to share meals because no one has to go anywhere. Time to help someone who isn't as able to manage. Time to think, time to realise that we sometimes do best by not doing stuff. Make that phone call rather than send a text have proper conversations.
Learn a craft, sort the cupboard full of old memories..... You have time and time is a gift

What lovely thoughts - I totally agree with you.

[emmie]

i do agree, sadly many won't - those at risk..

[rowanwitch]

I am high risk myself but I will not live in fear....

Excellent Rowan!
That reminds me of Ecclesiastes (Turn Turn Turn)

Teen Smow has by sheer coincidence got 4 Days no.iday this week booked way way in advance so he has literally just left house in car with Mr Smow to gut one of our houses that we rent out. Hopefully when they get back there will be more news...#fingerscrossed

[anneasquith]

More news ? Like what ?

I have panic bought some flute music, just in case... could be grade 8 by the end of this!
We have already had two clients suspending calls for now (one social in a care home, and one with an upcoming operation, so his wife, who is very anxious about it, will have to try to manage herself).

Yes anne, I'm intrigued too.

[Smowball]

Anne I’m really not quite sure why you keep giving funny comments on all posts in last 24 hrs. Whether I’m wording myself correctly or not I’m as worried as everyone else, I have children, family, I may not word my posts perfectly but there is no need to keep being snide.

[Old_Geezer]

I don't see how that differs from prior to the virus at my age.

[pastafreak]

Lovely thoughts, Rowan.
But sharing meals will not be possible for many on their own...myself included.
I could say more, but I really dont know where to put my thoughts right now.

[Spicerack]

I don't think anne was being snide. What 'news' are you expecting/hoping to hear in the next few hours?

[pixie374]

News and advice is changing all the time, so, who knows?

A while back I bid on Ebay for 1,000 novels (mostly romances) and got them for £49. Had to pick them up myself and when I got to the house I got another 300 on top. Boxes full now in spare room and under beds and some passed on to friends. Got plenty of jigsaws, puzzle books and DVD boxed sets to get through so if I can just stockpile chocolate then I'm set up for months. Have got boxes of old photos which I keep planning on sorting out so no excuse now.

Pasta, I will be one of those alone, but for those who can it's a simple pleasure to cherish.
