Day 79

I’m confused. I suspect you are too? What can we do what can’t we do? I appreciate that what is now aloud to open has to conform to some form of social distancing. Went to a farm shop yesterday, which was very good and had a great selection of produce. They had all the signs and tape on the floor to indicate how to proceed. The cashiers were protected behind Perspex and you had to stand behind a line while they rang up your shopping. All well and good and well organised except for one tiny flaw. The people in the shop were taking no notice of the separation and there was no employees policing it. So basically a waste of time except for the staff (which is fine for them)
So these recommendations are required but appear to be completely impractical. I am not necessarily blaming the public (though they have  a responsibility) these shops big and small were not designed to cater for the current situation and they do not have the resource or inclination to alter their layouts.
I know this is new and early days but it is going to take some working out and I suspect quite quickly the guidance will be largely ignored as we go about out daily lives.

I want to write something happy and inspiring but I find a scan of the news gives me no pleasure or happiness. social media with the odd exception is a litany of bad vibes and criticism. Granted what I read is just a snap shot of a few users in a universe filled with all sorts of posts I will never see!

I’m not feeling to good this morning, had a poor nights sleep. Watched A Time to Kill yesterday made in 1995 but the racist story it tells still seems relevant today. Unfortunately my nasty brain plagued me with thoughts of the film , mixed with other stuff and gave an uncomfortable night.

This virus appears to be slowing down (hopefully) it will roll a coaster for some time but the trend seems to be downward. It won’t disappear, it will not go away but it will dampen down.

Stay well
