Lock-down Day 141

Mewthos let me sleep till five this morning! So, keeping the passage door open makes a difference. Noted.

I got a call from a school friend! Awesome! I promised to call her back from home ...

... which I did. We've just had a lovely long chat!

Now I've hung up my laundry, so that's done ... and I've just eaten my last cookie. It's about quarter past five now, maybe I'll bake a batch tonight? Or maybe tomorrow ... I have dough ready in the fridge.

Everybody is talking about Level 2 now. It was already expected to be announced during this week, but ... nothing. Latest news is that we'll have another speech sometime this weekend. I suppose alcohol will be available again, maybe one or other industry may open up ... I'm not getting my hopes up! These levels don't have any real meaning. They're just window-dressing. The rules change at the drop of a hat, going back and forth without rational reason ... it's pathetic.

I still say that we haven't seen the worst, yet. It's still coming - and it has nothing to do with the virus. It will be the fall-out resulting from these lock-down games ... so far, the worst we've seen is people begging for food. I just read another post from someone ... these are posts, not news or articles. Real people, not faceless numbers. It is heartbreaking. But: they are 'only' hungry. And without electricity. And being evicted because they can't pay their rent ... Which is bad enough - but ... how many will be able to come back from that? And HOW, with no relief? It is so depressing, I just can't even think about it ...

Mippies home without any trouble, waited a little for Janey, but not very long. I'm doing a Mewthos this evening - restless and not sure what I want, but I want something, ha ha! At least I'm not upsetting everyone else at home. Mippies have now settled on the bed and they'll be glad to get out again tomorrow ... so now, I'll go to bed ...
