    Hi Karen.
    I think the more accurate versions are the per capita stats which allow for more equal footing and show a different picture of how each country is managing this pandemic. These statistics are also published by Johns Hopkins.

    I'm beginning to experience envy again and FOMO.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    What do you think you're missing out on?


    The one thing I wish is that I could quickly and successfully finish my course so that I could have a few days of relaxation. But that won't happen till June. So I'm hoping we're still in shut down till then.

    The last couple months have been so incredibly busy!!

    SuziQ - Sent that one to my daughter, with a kindergartener, a 4th grader and an infant at home. :) Not that I think she would, but Lord, that's funny.

    Bless her sweet heart! I hope she has support at home!

    Very early on with our new normal I kept saying over and over again....TG I am not a mother with youngish children at home.

    Machka - I love the look of the stone and wood bathrooms but get chilled thinking of how cold those bathrooms would be in the middle of winter!

    Did 600 words and feel much better. :D
    I was writing about the Mothering Sunday and Easter celebrations when I was a young teenager. I was very religious then - a Sunday School teacher and I wanted to be a missionary. I was also madly in love with the young deacon of the church I attended. Can you believe the whole Sunday School went out picking primroses to be blessed in church for Mothering Sunday? Nowadays picking wild flowers is very much frowned on. We must have gleaned thousands! :o
    I lost my faith sometime in the following year or so, but I can't remember exactly how.

    Now for lunch - walnut bread and blue cheese, lettuce, cucumber.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Same info, but more easily understood, I think, in the per capita version…can you show Canada & Australia, too? If not, I'll find them myself.

    I love your Mom comments. She sounds pretty wonderful…

    And the Kermit meme was hilarious. I snorted my tea.

    I dislike when links disappear from MFP convos......here it is again. But of course we have to remember testing ratios too, but then we are getting in to a whole other layer..... https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality

    Poor Kermit looking out the rainy day window. I laughed out loud when I came across it on FB.

    Mom was and still is special. I am so thankful our last conversation was filled with love and I expressed my gratitude to her. She had stated to me she did not know how I turned out the way that I did and I told her it was because I had a great mother. I am very fortunate to have put everything in balance well before the end of her life and was able to speak our truths. I realize many do not have the insight to be able to come to terms with the "grey".

    I am glad you are turning your day around. And, your lunch sounds like a little piece of heaven!

    Last day of strict confinement here in Paris France: (1 h out per day for exercise, 1x per day, 1 km radius maximum from home, most shops and businesses other than pharmacies, groceries and take away foods obligatorily closed.) It's been a rough couple of months. Bookshops and florists and clothes shops will open up Monday, with social distancing of course.

    Statistics: 86% of French in couples would prefer to be confined with same person.

    Statistics: 57% of French gained weight: an average of 2.5 kilos.

    Statistics: 29% lost weight

    Statistics: 42% spend more time on food prep

    Poll of 3000 people in late April from recognized polling institution.


    A friend posted on Facebook. "I had 5 kilos to lose at the beginning of confinement. Only 7 kilos left."

    It will be interesting to see what happens over the next 2-3 weeks with everyone easing the restrictions.

    I guess I've used cold bathrooms for the last 11 years, so that part doesn't really concern me. Better than a hot bathroom! The idea is to sink into a sizzling hot bath surrounded by chilly air. :)

    But if you wanted warmth you could install under floor heating or heat lamps or something. My current bathroom has a heater above the sink mirror to take the chill off on cold mornings. If it were our own place, I'd replace that with a light and see about installing heat lamps. But we rent, so it is what it is.
