1. There is so much stress in these times

Many are not adjusting well to isolation . And yet there is always that chance for that lovely walk to clear one's head.
What I find amazing is that since the Covid-19 crisis, all sides of the family are more in touch with siblings, cousins and in laws across the planet.
It is a strange time to be old but our oldest sibling reminded us that mum survived the height of WW2 in England. Mum was young back then - an overseas student and her attitude to life and always being ready for a crisis was something we grew to understand. She always had a kitchen garden and a backyard full of fruit trees. She preserved everything. And she always saved for that rainy day.

So sorry to hear about your friend's death. We have two friends who are both on ventilators in New York.
We will all be touched by this one - and life will be different for those of us who aren't personally touched by the virus.

I saw this post earlier this afternoon - went to the laundry room and then I got distracted with the lunatic.
Thanks again my brother
