    I feel so bad. I know I'm driving Vince batty, I'm so bored. He has things he'd like to do and I'm always coming up with something else that should be done outside. I'm just afraid that it'll get hot really fast like it did last year and even tho he says it's OK, I know Vince looks for every reason in the book not to do things outside in the heat.

    Well, off to crochet.

    Oh Luci -prayers for the babies safety through this. Hopefully they got lucky haven’t caught it. So important to stay inside not come in contact with other family members as much as possible just have a small number circle. Babysitter y the ones inside the house only. This stuffs a nightmare.We were so lucky my dead Aunts test came back negative for that very reason she came in contact with others plus hospital staff.

    Activity Ideas

    Photography
    And here's another idea ... when I had more spare time, I used to participate in photography challenges on a couple websites, and one challenge theme that used to come up now and then was "5 minutes from home" or "in your neighbourhood" or things like that.

    The idea was to go for a walk in your area, really pay attention and look at things, and take photos. :)


    Languages
    Also, apparently Amazon and Rosetta Stone have a deal to help anyone interested to learn a new language. That might be an idea for those who are bored. Duolingo is free, but I've heard that Rosetta Stone is more comprehensive.
    https://www.pcworld.com/article/3534696/become-bilingual-on-a-budget-with-rosetta-stone-unlimited-for-just-85.html

    I'm not sure, but it might be possible to plug in and listen while walking.


    Science

    If you're into science or you have grandkids who are ... check out NASA's Space Place. You could spend several days just browsing through everything there.
    https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/

    I went to the Parents and Educators link and found there were several other links available:
    https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/menu/parents-and-educators/

    The JPL Education one looks good:
    https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/edu/

    But there are several others to explore.

    Book Nooks

    Here's another activity idea ... these are really cute and if I had the time, I'd be tempted to try to make one ...

    https://www.buzzfeed.com/christopherhudspeth/book-nooks-bookcases-shelves-creative-art-diy

    This is one example, but the link above shows quite a few of them.

    Masks -- Australian Government Advice

    https://www.health.gov.au/sites/default/files/documents/2020/03/coronavirus-covid-19-information-on-the-use-of-surgical-masks.pdf
    "General public
    Surgical masks in the community are only helpful in preventing people who have coronavirus
    disease from spreading it to others. If you are well, you do not need to wear a surgical mask as
    there is little evidence supporting the widespread use of surgical masks in healthy people to
    prevent transmission in public."

    We can only get them if we contact our GPs and they determine they are necessary.

    This is interesting ... might be worth further research if you're making your own masks.

    DST - has ended. :(

    Rhody doesn't understand the concept of time changes and wants it to remain on DST like I do!


    Veggie Gardens - since most of you live in the northern hemisphere, are you putting in a garden this spring?

    We're in harvest mode down here but have picked up a whole bunch of seeds which have recommendations that they be planted in the autumn/winter.

    But it wasn't easy finding seeds ... seems like everyone had the same idea.

    It's a good way to get your fresh fruit and veg without having to go to a farmer's market or fruit & veg shop. We're slowly building up our quantities from getting a couple meals' worth to being able to freeze several meals' worth.


    Weight - I'm down about 3.5 lbs to the lowest weight I've seen since January, I think. Here's hoping that trend continues through winter.

    Got new bike shoes! These have carbon soles and they were on sale, bonus!

    Well done!!

    I picked up these at Christmas and then went back and got the last pair on the shelves, so I've got 2 pair of them. They are very comfortable.
