Day Eighty-one

Feest Isolation Days – 3 June

The scenes on the local news last night were truly disgusting.  People were not social distancing, packing into beauty spots and leaving behind their mess and with no public toilets open they left their personal waste as well.  Do they think the pandemic is past?  Go Home!  That was the message they received from people who live in these small towns and villages that have been overrun.

Schools began again on Monday, but many children were still kept home by their worried parents. Presumably these are not the same people that were visiting all those beauty spots!

This stage of the virus – we are told by the scientists – is a worrying one.  In America the man masquerading as the President is creating havoc! Uneasy times!

As yesterday was the last day of summer for a bit as the highs over the country turn to lows, it was time to go on a little holiday.  At least from the news and the terrible images of the American mess.

It turned into a day for celebration.  We visited the garden of friends who have been shielding for all this time and raised a glass of champagne with them – our glasses, at a safe social distance.  A wonderful moment and a careful one too.  There is no point in going backwards so going forward slowly and easing into a few more nice things must be the plan. It is in our household anyway! There may not be hugs but there are big smiles and the air was filled with kisses …and smiles!  As we sat outside, a pilot drew a smiley face in the sky to cheer everyone up. It worked!

So a few more fun and or lovely things to view and enjoy while we are busy trying to process all the mess. 

Sport!

Ingenuity!

Art! History! Italy! (A full hour of gorgeousness)

Hope something in all of that made you smile or helped you connect once more with a feel-good factor that you may have forgotten. 

The dunnocks graced us with their presence during our last outdoor breakfast for a bit.  Life isn’t all bad.  Promise.

With love
