Saving lives.

It just gets weirder ....as people are starting to realise that this situation is not ending any time soon. For me it’s not too bad. I am used to being on my own...it’s my normal way of life. Food is not all that important to me and it is possible I may return to a mostly vegetarian diet. I spent several years as a vegetarian as a much younger woman. I only went back to eating meat when I succumbed to the smell of bacon cooking for my new husband. But mostly I was perfectly happy as a veggie and this may be the way for me now in old age. So I suppose that anything that makes me question myself is probably a good thing. My biggest danger is drinking too much. Alcohol does help. But the fear that I might travel the same path as my alcoholic father stops me from ever drinking too much... It’s just a quesion of what constitutes "too much ". But my life here is alone most of the time...and that has been my choice to some degree. I wish my husband had not died. And both of my children....But they have. I am alone but I’m used to it ....it’s normal for me. So on I go...as do we all...the news of the deaths in care homes is disturbing..I do sometimes take communion to our local home but I have no plans to drive over to the next village just now. Yesterday I did start my car and left it running for about half an hour to make sure that if I need to go anywhere fast I will make it! I don’t like this strange world we are all living in but it seems to be sensible to save lives and protect the very precious NHS. So staying home quietly on my own is the only sensible solution..to this appalling period of time. I just hope it really does save lives... That’s what makes it bearable.
