I’m one of those...

blooming awful people that always looks on the flaming bright side... well to be 100% accurate most times!?!
Don’t they just get on your t*t ends?
It was brought home to me when the 2004 tsunami hit.  I know for a fact that I would have said
‘Relax, it’s only water!’
Whereas husband was a diver and knew the power of water.  Me a not exactly confident swimmer has self confidence inflated water wings. So I ask you what do I know?
The idea of self isolation is for me, a latent bag lady i.e. tramp, a  chance to hibernate, distance myself from folk, apart from my germ-free blog obv!?!  The garden, the books, the hunkering down, the walking on the wild side in the woods, the reemergence of a moth so stout it is unable to fly is an experience to be well...
experienced!

Don’t you just always hate these always look on the bright-side people?  I know I do!

  1. I too could happily hibernate and stay away from people however... I fear my family are going to bring this dreaded lurgy to our door. I have been deluding myself until tonight that we are sensible people, we wash our hands often, we clean the doornobs, we don't kiss people willy nilly, we'll be ok, but... my daughter works in a supermarket, I watch her daughter three days a week after school and her dog 5 days so she's constantly in our house then tonight our son has contacted us to say his girlfriends boss is now confirmed positive for the virus and of course she's been in the same room as him this week (quite unusual as she works all over the place) She's currently in Bristol and has been told to self isolate. She's in a hotel paid for by her company till tomorrow. SO, what now? Does she travel home and isolate there which means she's in contact with who knows how many people on the way home. My son is currently staying in a hotel in Edinburgh as he is training on a new job, should he be going home to her at the weekend? Her brother has ALS so no-one in her family will be able to help her! The tenticles of this monster are drawing ever nearer and I'm terrified! I'd love to stay home and close the shutters but it's not entirely possible unfortunately. :( Stay safe. x

  2. You look so happy and cheery, I would like to come over and share a glass of bubbly with you. To choose between gloom and doom or chipper, I would choose the latter.

    1. A daft tart as Hubs is often heard to call me! Am I bothered? Not a bit of it!

      You would be very welcome... Chin, chin!

  4. We need positive as well as all the negative, to stay balanced.
    On another thought, people have forgotten their history, when getting sick was common,when you had lots of babies because a lot died, when losing your elders happened...

    1. We all need a wake up call, yes I couldn’t agree more. So many of us take all things as a divine right. Best we wake up and take charge.

A year has gone by...

and the sourdough saga continues, nothing much changes, apart maybe my level of frustration at my tarnished bread making skills of a ferment...
