Strange world.

What a strange world we are living in. I admit to being relieved to be living in almost solitary state. The steps being taken to stop this new virus is extraordinary. How does a new virus get itself so feared so quickly? Once again I am glad to be an old woman.My small world feels safe...so far! but I hear the bad news with some surprise. The weather continues awful. Rain is beating against my window but the wind seems to have dropped a little. I do have people arriving later today. Local news about fallen trees has reached me via Facebook of all things. So I must send out this news to anyone trying to get here. I will not go out today unless I really have to. I have enough food and drink to last for a week if necessary. We shall see. The people I’m expecting today are coming from up country...I have no idea how the roads are coping just now. It’s not a prime travelling month. Which is I suppose why it’s some people’s choice. Once I get out of bed I’ll try to go outside to see how things are. Yesterday two steps were all I managed . I might get further today! But if I don’t it really doesn’t matter. We shall see. So I am ready! Coping with whatever gets thrown in my direction is my usual state...it’s my choice to live in solitary state. But it’s hard to explain this to some of my friends. I put my polo neck jumper and thick pants out last night...keeping warm is essential. I hope my Heating oil can cope!
