HAPPY NEW WEEK and HAPPY SOLSTICE!
Everyone have a wonderful, safe, healthy week!
There were lots and lots of new posts at the end of last week's thread, so check back.
Pat, I'm so seething about some of the recent events here, that I dare not write any of it down! I think I could come up with choice words about those who seem happy to condemn us to another 12 months of restrictions and lockdown, which will surely come as there would be lower case figures now if everyone was doing as they are told.
I agree that its best to listen to the medics and scientists - the politicians do as usual, have their own agenda. Of course they need to get the country up and running again on all cylinders as soon as possiible, but if only they had made better decisions earlier on, we would not be having such a bad outcome now. OG - Good that your toe is more comfortable now, glad you were able to get some help with it. My sis in law Sue has found that the dog she has, has "one leg not quite right". Her son went with her when she chose it and brought it home, and how I wish he had said that it was not a good idea. No way can she afford to spend some of her retirement money on X rays, anaesthetics and operations..... We have not seen it yet but have had several conversations on the phone. We hope to go and see it tomorrow but will not go unless we can all sit outside, so if tomorrow is much like today, then its off.
Gosh, did it again. Typed a post and then neglected to hit Reply to Thread. Duh.
Wouldn't it be smart if they started imposing massive fines on stupid people of all ages who refuse to take precautions? (Starting with The Orange Menace and his sidekick Pinocchio Pence).
Made an appointment for a haircut Tuesday. No shampooing or drying offered at this point and masks all round, which I prefer. A good thing I live within three minutes of the place.
Diane: I see the EU is on the point of nixing admittance of any Americans but I'm not sure where that leaves the UK, which has to abide by some EU rules until the end of this year. . I think the UK has imposed a two-week self-quarantine for visitors, but you're correct anyway: My sister has had multiple myeloma and although it's been well under control for some years now, it puts her right at the top of 'most vulnerable' so I have no plans at all to visit. Besides, I don't like flying at the best of times. My friend's daughter, who's been on assignment at the U.S. Embassy in London for 5 years, has finished her term there and is flying back on Monday with her husband and 8-year-old twins. Can you imagine wearing masks for that flight - and with two active little boys?! And the airlines are pretty much admitting that social distancing is almost impossible. Anyway, they're flying London to Dallas, spending the night there, then Dallas to Santa Barbara, then quarantining for two weeks.
Sun looks like it's trying to break through the overcast......
Take care all
