All this warm weather may not be a good thing. The way many people have always looked at it is that cold winters are necessary to kill off germs and bacteria that could harm us. The whole coming week is forecast to be warm. It may be welcome, but more cold weather could be important for good health.

slept well last night.. makes a pleasant change... when I first woke it was blue skies and bright sunshine.. now the clouds are puthering up and its getting dull am doing well in getting up and down stairs. but am not doing well at sitting...its really making my back hurt.. but must continue or I will be stuck in a semiprone position for ever and that wouldn't do at all...daughter said she saw no signs of panic buying yesterday.. it seems to be a sort of certain areas inner city thing.... bit like when we had a water shortage some years ago.. and every one was limmitted to a few containers each..... and the cameras just panned out and you saw a couple in the line who had been in the line before... they got their containers filled and the cameras followed them.. they opened the doors of a van.. and it was cramed to the top will filled containers ...whaen challenged they couldn't see that their behaviour was wrong... that their greed made some one else thirsty....

Did somebody say, when it rains it pours? I believe it. Last night, I didn't want to wear my muddy shoes into the house so I took them off and put them in the car trunk to clean up today. Somewhere between the driveway and the house I stepped on a little tiny sharp stone or piece of gravel and it went into my foot.
My wife and I both tried to get it out but it's pretty deep and hurts like hell. When wife gets home from church, we'll be going to Urgent Care to get it out. I dread it. It's gonna be sore for a day or two I know but they'll probably numb my foot.
That's my tale of woe. Except for that, it's a day with solid blue skies and temperatures in the 60s. Also the day to turn the clocks up for spring and summer.

not even a pretence of sunshine this morning.. grey and gloomy..but I noticed that the buds on the forsythia are visible.. that's always a sign of spring approaching daughter was doing her shop this morning and behind her was a man with rather two lots of bottled water.. a woman turned to him and said its people like you who deprived the rest of us....the man tried to say he had no more than he usually bought because he didn't drink tap water.....at least he looked very embarrassed... other than that daughter said she saw no signs of alarm or big buying managed to sit for longer yesterday...by pilling cushions and then leaning back on them.. quite comfortable..and today I shall do better.. and yes I will indeed be very carefull...the moment I feel strain I stop... don't want to spend any longer longer up than I need.....or even indoors than I need.. well its been to long already will google chairs...good idea

it's been a little slow here today, eh?
My job hours have changed, so for about 2 weeks I'll be here less til I get adjusted to the difference.
it's getting colder. Looks like the short spring is over for a few days.

We aren't lock-down but everybody 60 and older are being told not to be out and about if they have any kind of medical condition. Tomorrow was my turn to take my mom for her regular Dr. visit. She is almost 70 with a heart condition. I'm going to call her Doctor today and get his opinion. He's a doctor who does not like missed appointments so we'll have to see what he says. I like Pancakes for breakfast! Light maple syrup, please.

Be cautious, Dex. My husband and I are both over 60 and pushed our Dr. appointments ahead a month.
Our Dr. was very nice about it.
The weather is changing. Dark clouds are rolling in and the temperatures are going down. We need that for another week or two.

They don't like the idea it will tighten up their schedules right at Spring Break time My thought is, blame the virus, not the patients.

cloudy with some sunshine.. looking more grey to the north.. which usually means more rain.... we keep hearing that the virus should reach its peak here in about two weeks....of course that doesn't put any one in the clear... it simply make it less likely rather than probable …...when these epidemic/pandemic lose the thrust it would be wrong to think that is an end to it....I get my medical supplys every two months...when they were delivered last week daughter asked about shortages.. and was told there were non....
the idiot eu is still behaving as though they had some importence… Barnier says the UK has to make up its mind what it wants.. silly little man.. we ave told them repeatedly what we not so much want as will have...…..and he says we have to respect the eu...lawdy.. what is there to respect... they should have should have thought about respect when they treated May like dirt.. and when verhofstadt and tusk were making poor jokes... respect the eu the corrupt political construct that produces nothing but disharmonny and division.... no way..

It's mild and rainy here.
Now that Trump has backed off and quit yelling "Hoax", people are paying more attention to medical advice and avoiding crowds whenever possible.
I, too, have a doctors appointment in a few days and am debating with myself whether to reschedule it or risk it.

I, too, have a doctors appointment in a few days and am debating with myself whether to reschedule it or risk it. For all practical purposes, it's a hoax. The virus may actually exist, but it takes an advanced PCR and electron microscopy to confirm it. The average person will never have access to either in his/her lifetime. Furthermore, the Centers for Disease Control are wasting most of their time now chasing ghosts, which only increases the hysteria. It is indistinguishable from common influenza, so anyone who catches the flu will think s/he has this new, relatively harmless virus called COVID-19.

not so Joeseph… its not ahoax it is deffo real.... the difference between this virus and common flu is that it quickly turns to Peumonia for any one with health problems known or unknown.. don't be fooled into thinking this is a hoax.. it isn't...that's not to say that it imo hasn't been ratcheted up in the wrong way and too soon .......the Spanish flue killed around 4 million in 1918....all flu,s kill to some degree... but fighting for breath is not pleasant... the fact that more people survive than die... doesn't make it less harmful... it simply means we have better conditions for survival... but people are dying and will continue to do so...…. the average rate of deaths from flu are around 400,000...….this could be more or of course less
