Shopping day

We will go out early to shop today. Just a couple of quick trips every ten days or so keeps us stocked up. My husband has been feeling less than well the last week or so but yesterday he was feeling a little better. He likes to get out and it is good for him to do so.

He misses the hustle and bustle of his life before illness befell him. Now that the garden centres are open we will go there one of these days to get our bedding plants. He likes to look them all over before buying.

We need to replace our lavender plants; winter was hard on them. The weather was too cold before the snow cover and that often happens here. We used to grow roses but finally stopped as they were just constantly having to be replaced. A wild rose known as the Loyalist Rose does quite well though.

Another day in the sequel of COVID-19 and it is with us for quite a while I suspect. Perhaps not in control of our lives as it is at the moment; but still with us. China has another spate of cases just to show us what is ahead even after opening up. Patient 0 really does need to be found and then Patient 1, 2, 3, 4 and perhaps as high as Patient 50 to give us a clearer picture of this virus. That is really the fair way to look at any catastrophe like this.
