Under House Arrest day 10

Today we walked to the precinct and back for our exercise. We didn't need any food so it was just for the walk.  It was a little dull, and there was fewer people about than Monday. It is quite eerie walking through the village seeing loads of cars in driveways, but no one about.

When we got home I ordered a fruit and veg box from Kerry's. They said it might take 7-10 days to be dispatched, but when I put where we live it came up priority delivery ( because this is basically a retirement/ disabled community) so it should be here by Monday. It means we haven't got to lug anything back with us, and we can just concentrate on getting the bus back from work. Kev will then batch make veg soups, cottage pies and the like. The fruit can be frozen to go in smoothies, but we get through a lot in any case. 

I've had a day off from crafting and sat and read this afternoon, trying to relax more. 

Now for a little rant. I find myself getting more than a little irritated by some of the stuff being sent via messenger and posted on social media. I'm inwardly rolling my eyes at certain drama llamas who obviously need attention. I'm trying very hard like everyone else to worry about what I can control. But some of these posts are just out there as click bait scare mongering. 

Decisions made by government, or health services etc, will not be be changed by getting in a lather about them. I've no doubt mistakes are being made, but, dwelling on them is only going to make us all feel worse than we are now. But who can say they hand on heart could do any better, given the fact that this sort of thing hasn't happened in our lifetimes before. 

You may say that I am being dismissive, or burying my head, but that's how I'm coping. And the next time I see a post that is trying to either put the fear of God up me, or is a pity me post  I will be removing that person from my news feed for the duration. No one is in any better/worse situation than anyone else at the moment. You are not stuck at home, you are safe at home. And if you are a key worker you are doing your bit, and if you staying at home because of underlying health reasons or just staying home to slow the spread you are also doing your bit. I don't need to be dramatic about going to work, you don't need to be dramatic about having to stay in. Let's just bloody well cheer everyone up not depress people any more than needed.  *end of rant*
