Normal life?

The sun shines, it is actually quite warm...in years past I would have started my tan by this time but since the year of coping with skin cancer shook me I am now very careful about how long I can spend in the sun. There are so many things I can’t do anymore...it’s very weird. Habit can be dangerous.. I put out a chair yesterday and sat in it for about half an hour until the memory of the summer when I had to have a very minor operation to remove a cancerous growth moved me. I don’t want any more ! So slowly normal life in all its habits is modified. I don’t know why I bother......there are so many dangers lurking round corners these days that life could be a miserable thing if we worried about all the dangers possible. I haven’t ventured into the village this week...but according to the traffic...or lack of it I wonder if it’s as quiet in the village as I think it is. I have nothing to go down for except cash to pay people with. So this could be the moment when I write a monthly cheque instead of weekly cash. I suspect this wouldn’t go well with my gardener....so I’ll talk to him later.. I sat outside with him last week but really we were not far enough apart. It’s a strange world we are living in...the virus has changed our world...hopefully not for ever...but for the moment we are all trying to get on with our lives as best we can...so be it!
