Restrictions will be lifted slowly. Yes, likely to be upsurge of cases as around 80% will get this. However for the overwhelming majority it will be quite mild. Several of my daughters teams have already had this (key workers = tested and confirmed), only needed a short while of work, and not terribly ill.
As the curve has been flattened there should be hospital and even Intensive Care facilities for those who are unfortunate enough to require them..
I am not willing to stay locked away - so I will take my chance.
My sister in law phoned me and we had a lovely long chat - I even managed to make her laugh out loud with telling her about my daughter giving her daughter a 'detention!
All her immediate family are now in Wales with her ready for the cremation next week. Then they will all go home and she and her husband will return to their house in Suffolk,
I have told her I will definitely be making arrangements to visit her there for a few days within the next three months - a promise I intend to keep. She will need that = the first few weeks everybody keeps in touch and gathers around, then people continue with their own lives, and you are left feeling very desolate and alone. It was about three months after my sons death, that finally had a total breakdown one days and jumped up and down and screamed and shouted and pummelled a table.
I have been down to the Promenade again today and to the park. My daughter and two g.children were in the park when I got there and it was so lovely just having a chat with them.
I had a bad night past night - no particular reason, at 5.30 this morning I stepped out on the balcony, everything was so fresh and peaceful;
Making scones (english ones - not aussie ones) tomorrow morning
Many years ago I had some jigsaw puzzles and found them very addictive. At the time I was doing two jobs, and found that sitting up late into the night just to do another two or three pieces was not really a good idea. I packed them all away and when I moved I gave them all to charity shops, thinking that if I ever got back into them I could easily go to local charity shops. Really feel like doing these, will take some of my spare time - but no charity shops open. I put in appeal on my local neighbourhood fb site, and people have offered these to me and even offered to drop them off. So many people are so kind.
