Well, I didn’t get to go out for the birthday lunch I wanted, but I had
lots of nice presents and four unexpected treats today! We decided to break lockdown 24 hours early and my lovely foursome arrived!! I was ecstatic. We sat in the
garden, socially-distanced, drinking tea and eating cake.
For lunch, after they'd gone, the two of us had dainty sandwiches (I even cut the crusts off) and scones
with jam and clotted cream. A glass of Prosecco may also have been
involved…
It’s been a lovely day.
Tomorrow the lockdown officially eases and people can start to
slowly take steps forward to some sort of normality, although politicians are
still giving the doom and gloom narrative. It’s starting to look like this is the beginning of the end –
we can’t stay locked up forever “just in case”. New cases and deaths are on a steady
downward trend now and other countries have relaxed their lockdowns with no
spike in deaths. Everything in life carries risk – you can’t eliminate it all.
Counsellors and therapists in this country are going to have
their work cut out for them to deal with all the mental health issues that this
has thrown up; when they can finally get back to work, they’ll be working 24/7,
poor devils, just to keep people from jumping off tall buildings. I feel so
sorry for anyone who was already suffering anxiety or depression before all
this started – this won’t have made their lives any easier.
I really think it's time the Govt stopped the daily “Coronavirus Briefings” aka the litany of gloom they serve up in the guise of ‘keeping us
informed’. It’s not information, it’s just a way to reiterate that they’re
the ones in control.
Politicians for the first time in living memory have the
entire country in fear and under control… unsurprisingly they’d like to hold
onto that control.
Well, who’da thunk it...?
