Before setting off on our planned adventure to the Med just 3 kilometres away, we already knew two humans from the same house can now go out together for a walk instead of only one, in solitary confinement. Awesome.I was so excited last night I couldn´t sleep, sounds a bit weird when the Med is…… Continue reading Forget that walk by the Med
Despite yesterdays rant about people flaunting restrictions in bars, they still have to close early. So maybe the flock settles in around 10am? “Hurry up or we won´t get a seat.” Unfortunately bar owners aren´t going to turn half their customers away. Set that aside and the general outlook in phase one is positive. The…… Continue reading Easing of restrictions, phase one, an assessment
RANT MODE: Why did the government decide to re-open some bars??? EVERYWHERE ELSE people adhere to the rules of social distancing, oh but wait, bars appear to be exempt even though strict rules apply. Main one being only bars with terraces can open, (it´s Spain, they´ve all got terraces). So there´s:No going inside except to…… Continue reading So much for social distancing
I saw Americans flocking to buy flowers for Mother´s Day on the news, many not wearing masks and jostling for who´s next in line at a local florists. Stupid. As a mum I´d rather have no flowers as opposed to family members risking their lives for a bunch of roses. Why didn´t they think in…… Continue reading Mother´s Day in quarantine lockdown
As predicted, the Spanish parliament declared yesterday this national emergency lockdown will continue another two weeks. For safety´s sake we think it´s for the best, and proves that those in power consider people´s lives are more important than the economy. However, I´ve noticed staying sane is a whole other thing. I wrote somewhere about how…… Continue reading Eight weeks and still counting
I was watching MSNBC news this morning, obviously it was all about Covid 19 in the USA, the horrendous crisis there resulting from poor leadership, bad decisions, lies, and ignorance all coming from the dumbass dictator in the Whitehouse. The economy is more important to him than peoples lives, he wants everyone back at work,…… Continue reading Covid 19 Confusion
Today was my first experience of cabin fever, this morning I had an argument with my laptop about what day it is. Then I had to say my name twice, as I do every day to remind myself who I am.My own version is all a bit vague, there´s no climbing walls involved so what…… Continue reading Cabin fever?
Well I don´t know, it´s all a bit vague except for one thing, we remain on lockdown. The Brit media announced the Spanish government had extended the lockdown till May 9th BEFORE it had been made official. So in an effort to confuse the UK they made it May 10th or 11th, I forget which…… Continue reading Confused easing of lockdown measures in Spain
Guess who the mug is? Stuck within the confines of our house and the gate posts, with husband and son for five weeks has turned my pristine minimalistic home into a dump, both inside and out.This is our dining room table with six chairs.This is part of the kitchen.This is the well organised laundry area…… Continue reading Two men and a mug
If there´s anyone else out there with a car that´s gone on strike during these torrid times. Hello and welcome. Of all the problems that can´t be dealt with right now, a mode of transport pretending to be a plant pot sat on the drive is the ultimate insult to apathy.Our Mercedes Benz automatic convertible,…… Continue reading Our confined essential rebel on wheels
