Memories, bittersweet

Oh, this gave me a bit of a heart pang. Such a lovely memory from last year. How things have changed.

A rant.

Why do some people (now unfriended) think it's ok to have their hair done for hours and hours, or go to pubs and mingle socially like they did before COVID-19, or think clubs should be open, or not wear masks in shops and then complain if challenged ?

When we are still in the middle of a pandemic ?

*edited to add for clarity, that I am NOT talking about a physically distanced drink in a pub garden, or a visit to the hairdresser for a relatively short period of time, or about those who cannot wear a mask. I'm referring to those who *choose* to flout the guidelines; say "its all a conspiracy"; behave in an anti social manner;

 and then boast about it, after.

Making and mending

Cotton Pajama bottoms for me shortened, double hemmed (and then  close sewn because I hate the rubbing feeling from the edge of turn ups)

And a child (or emergency backup adult) washable face mask made from the material I cut off, plus two hair bands.

(I'm 5'4", so why do I have to cut off 3", at least , from everything?)

Planting stuff! A little bit of normality

Today I spent 3 hours in my polytunnel planting tomato and pepper and cucumber plants. So good to be able to be doing stuff in there, after the horrible Post COVID-19 weakness stuff I've gone through. Felt really wonderful to be getting my hands dirty, again. Definitely an improvement in my recovery post COVID-19.

And 32 beans planted outside by Ian

All a bit later than normal, but we live in not normal times, and I've been very ill for 8 weeks, so stuff I normally get on and do just has not got done.

Frankly, I'm impressed we have collectively managed to get any vegetables in the soil, roughly around the time when they should be.

So very, very angry today

Absolutely livid now. Watched Cummings disrespectful delayed media announcement (wtf? Why does a spad get to do a press conference in the Downing Street Rose Garden, unprecedented )

He dissembles, confounds, just wtf.

Then Boris comes on and opens up everything.

So R is reducing because us plebs have done what we were told (driven by Dominic Cummings rules) but he breaks those rules with arrogance "because he felt it was ok"

So You, the toffs, do what you like. We, the plebs, have to do what you tell us.

Oh and car showrooms can open. Fossil fuel consuming car sales.

Climate change issues, anyone?
