Wishing you all a Happy Easter as you Isolate, which no one has ever done before, there might be a lot of First's from now on!!
In those Isolation Days it's good to keep busy and keep track like this fellow is
doing. (shared with us by Joop)
Day 1 – We Can Do This!! Got enough food and wine to last a month!
Day 2 – Opening our 8th bottle of Wine. We fear wine supplies might not last!
Day 3 – Strawberries: Some have 210 seeds, some have 235 seeds. Who Knew??
Day 4 – 8:00pm. Removed our Day Pajamas and put on our Night Pajamas.
Day 5 – Today, we tried to make Hand Sanitizer. It came out as Jello Shots!!
Day 6 – We get to take the Garbage out. I’m So excited, I can’t decide what to wear.
Day 7 – Laughing way too much at our own jokes!!
Day 8 – Went to a new restaurant called “The Kitchen”. You have to gather all the ingredients and make your own meal. We have No clue how this place is still in business.
Day 9 – We put liquor bottles in every room. Tonight, we're getting all dressed up and going Bar hopping.
Day 10 – Struck up a conversation with a Spider today. Seems nice. He’s a Web Designer.
Day 11 – Isolation is hard. I swear the fridge just said, “What the hell do you want now?”
Day 12 – I realized why dogs get so excited about something moving outside, going for walks or car rides. I think the wife just barked at a squirrel.
Day 13 – Turns out if you keep a glass of wine in each hand, you can’t accidentally touch your face.
Day 14 – Watched the birds fight over a worm. The Cardinals lead the Blue Jays 3 - 1
We are constantly bombarded with stuff and updates on the Corona Virus - HERE IS THE OPTIMISTIC VIEW!!
- Like the flu, the majority of people do recover
- Global air pollution and CO 2 levels have plummeted since the virus. Blue skies in China, India, US, UK, etc…
- Lives saved from reduced air pollution should easily exceed loss due to the virus
- Dramatic differences proves WE do contribute to climate change problems exponentially. If anything, this will prompt ALL people to do their part after all this is over
- We have an awareness of the positive attributes in slowing down in life
- Family time spent together (those who live together in one house)
- We still have access to food
- We live in an age we are still connected through technology and not in total isolation
- We can still spend time with neighbours outside within a safe distance of course
- We can still go for walks
- Work in the garden – Spring is here!
- Take a Sunday drive on Monday through Saturday
- We live in a world where most people do care
- The Government addresses the nation on a daily basis through this crisis to keep us informed
- Government has put in relief measures for people out of work, etc.
- We have medical staff on front line to nurse the sick and protect the people
- Finally, Spring is here – Nature is coming alive with new growth. Migratory birds have returned. If you go in the garden you will see there is lots of new growth, day-lilies, lilac bushes, peonies, hydrangeas, delphiniums…..and Yes even weeds!!
Zoom is here:
A virtual meeting will be set up for next Monday, April 13 at 12:15 via Zoom. As our first attempt to facilitate a full club meeting, it will be light and informal. We'll briefly report on board, committee and district activities since our last in-person meeting, back on March 9 and we'll ask our Rotary friends how they are doing and what they would like to see from our Club during this challenging time. Information on how to participate and an email invitation will come later.
Have a great warm Easter Weekend!!!
