Hello my friends. Love you all.
Went for my 5k, though it had clouded over by then. DH had to wait in for an Amazon delivery so I went on my own and listened to the Soul Music podcasts. Send In The Clowns & New York, New York. I've heard them several times, but they are still wonderful. The last bit of the NY one always brings a happy tear to my eye.
Fewer people on the seafront and no ice cream queue. Jogging back past the butcher I noticed they are considering going to delivery only soon to avoid infection. It would be awful if we lost that amazing shop through isolation. I will certainly order stuff from them. In the meantime they are opening later one evening a week.
DDIL has had to postpone 40th birthday celebrations and she obviously thinks we will soon have to isolate from them. I would like to see them soonish at a social distance, maybe on the seafront.
I tried to buy her the Sweaty Betty leggings she wants, but they are out of stock.
My thoughts on the logic of it all.I think we could have adopted an alternative protocol for this crisis. Instead of ruining everyone's economy with long term shut downs, we should have self isolated all the old and infirm straight away (including me) and allowed the young and fit to mingle, catch it, and get it over with and provide herd immunity. That way businesses could pick up again sooner and the vulnerable would be shielded.
Oh well. We are pottering along. Mushroom risotto tonight with broccoli. I think a couple of glasses of white wine. One for the risotto and one for me.

Mama was right again! “Take your cod liver oil every day.” Covid-19
If you do Facebook, I found this video commonsense and reassuring.
Lighter, lovelies!

Now their talking about senior citizens only shopping hours like they did with community swimming pools back in the day
Weird idea 💡.
Poor younger generations getting blamed for spreading this. Yet it started with our generations not there’s so who knows. Blame them the ask for their help . Not a loving way to do it .Everyones spreading it not just 1 generation age group.

HEATHER ~ Your thoughts about the crisis were very insightful! Would never have thought of that. It should also include the less elderly who have a compromised immunity.

One more positive note, our school's snack packs expanded into food bags and ready for delivery/pickup.
Lighter, Lovelies!

A quiet day here. I might have to start my taxes. Or look into a refund for my dude ranch trip. I haven't cancelled yet, but I can't see flying and coming home to my parents. My sister was supposed to visit from Tennessee but she cancelled. I ought to start a knitting project. That actually releases dopamine. And it beats boredom eating. This is going to be a long two weeks in my head.

Daughter said O blood types have a significant lower risk for the virus 🦠 than others. A blood types may have a higher risk.

My best Portsmouth friend thinks she may have C19. She is up in her York flat at the moment and is not feeling too bad. She would like to know if she has it.
She is going to let my difficult friend know. They were together last week for the theatre trip that I had to cancel. My difficult friend has co-morbidity.
I envy my friend if she does have it mildly. I am going to ring her tomorrow afternoon for a chat. She lives alone.

Heather- Big hugs prayers for them their families.Hope they didn’t come in contact with any pregnant family members to older ones. Stay safe my friend you got a 2nd chance twice now. Cruise y this.
Daughter said Navy told her she’s O+ I know we are the same blood type .JR I’m not sure but think hubby also O type so he is probably also an O type. My parents I remember one is O the other wasn’t but which one? So asked Moms cousin seems their the AB types. So Dads the O+. His pastor is quarantined 2weeks after his trip abroad that got cancelled (his sons wedding 🎩 👰). So Dad is taking over still luckily church is in the country side only 10-20 people on an Easter Sunday usually only 10 or less show up (older group y military). Mother-in-law an O - type.
Stay strong Gals were the front line for our families. Got to weight every option for us all. As for family weddings time to mention Courthouse or private ceremony like their doing funerals at the moment just Skype it..2 -

My stay at home project for today8 -
Happy St. Patrick's Day! Still dry and sunny so got my gazebo area mowed. We also tried to burn our burn pile but it was still too wet. DD worked on getting the blueberries weeded. Horses are out in the backyard munching grass and goats are munching on the apple branches that were pruned from the tree.
Luci - Happy Anniversary!
Amber - Saline or salt pools have chlorine in them. The salt water is run through a unit to separate it into chloride and sodium. The chloride combines with hydrogen in the water to form chlorine. It is just an easier and safer way to chlorinate a pool as you do not have to store chlorine on the premises.
Kim - yay for being an agricultural person and yay for great neighbors.
Everyone take care, Sue in WA5 -
Did another section of Rockin Body DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to do Jillian Michael’s Killer Cardio DVD.
Well, one of the gyms I go to has closed down until the end of next week. So there goes my water class. I was hoping they’d at least be open, but no luck.
Well, Newcomers cancelled all activities for March and April. I had just gone to the store to get vegetables to take with me, but they were out. Decided to get these cheese cubes and some Triscuit crackers. Now I can just take them back.
Then went to one gal’s house to see if she can decipher this crochet pattern I had. Try as she might, she could not get the count to come out right. So in the end I’ll just look for another pattern for a blanket to make. I like to have one in case I need a gift for someone.
Luci – happy anniversary. Be still my heart!
SuziQ – thanks for asking about PJ. Yes, he’s OK. You know babies are made of steel with a rubber coating. He just got a few rug burns but that’s all. Thank goodness I’m in NC because pete would really be hearing from me. Maybe this will make them think about how the place they got really isn’t good for a baby. But I know that Maria wanted them to have a new place (because that’s what she wanted) and the father wanted them out of the house so they got the first thing that came along. If it had been me I would have gone out and bought a gate that I could use even if it was temporary. Depending if I already had the gate (and I think they do) I would have hired a handyman and had it installed.
I’ve decided that I’m going to continue to serve at the soup kitchen. Yes, I’ll be exposing myself to all those people and potential virus. But they need to be fed.
Took Loki and he got his butt shaved.
Lisa – I agree with you that online sales won’t be the same as impulse buys. Like Vince got something like 8 boxes but only because they were there. I honestly don’t think he’d order them online.
Carol GA – when you got your online order, did they have a minimum that you must purchase? How much was it? The one time I ordered online for pickup at WalMart I didn’t know to mark that I didn’t want substitutions so they gave me a different size alcohol bottle than what I asked for. I called them to ask if I could return it and they told me to just keep it and they’d take it off my credit card. That I was shocked at – WalMart giving away something???
Barbie – oh, I’m so sorry you won’t have your class. I know how much you love it. Hopefully, you’ll have it back real soon
Amber – oh, salt pools DO have chlorine in them. What happens is you put pool salt in the pool, the salt goes into the salt water generator where it is broken down into sodium and chloride, then the chlorine goes back into the pool. There usually isn’t as much chlorine as there is in a community pool. Really, there is no such thing as a pool that doesn’t have chlorine in it. Otherwise you’d have all sorts of bacteria growing. Sue gave a much better explanation. There is no way we could use shampoo in our washing machine. It has to be HE (which doesn’t have as much suds). I do wish I could find a mahjongg game for free that I can play online with others. American mahjongg. Thanks for posting that song. We need a little smile
Rita – that park looks like it fits into the alien theme
Later girlfriends.

My daughter's college graduation is pretty much cancelled. They are trying to think of a way to do it online, but I can't see how it would be worth the trip to Virginia in these conditions. I guess I can only hope that she is healthy and happy. She still won't answer my texts.
