Living alone!
Yesterday was spent following the story of Mr Trump determined to get his own way and carry on in his present role. In future years when the story of this pandemic is told that particular episode will be thought far fetched...but it does seem to have happened.. though the American people have not allowed him to continue....so far. This present period will provide many stories in the future I am sure but for the moment we are living through a period of drama that no one would believe in fiction form. Lockdown here in the UK is keeping us all seperate. I wave to neighbours occasionally but really I am getting used to being solitary. I havnt phoned anyone either...solitary life is fine. I can play daft games on the net and chat to people I dont know if I feel like it. Playing cribbage with various of my friends over the years has been a pleasure and now playing with strangers on line is filling this space well. Watching the news yesterday there seemed no good news ...or any indication of how long we have to stay in isolation. I am getting used to it. Its not too different from my actual life.......but having access to the internet does make a difference...I am not actually cut off...we are all in this together.. damm it!

Good afternoon Jean. The situation in the USA is incredible. If someone had written about it as a novel they’d have been told it was implausible. It’s going to run for a few days or weeks 🙁
The internet is a real gem during this time. Keep on Blogging!
Glorious sunshine here. Now off for a walk 😊
We are all alone perhaps in Lockdown. Even if we have someone with us. Each of us is dealing with solitude in our own way. Yours seems to be fulfilling as you have a keen interest in the news and gaming and keeping in touch with us through this blog.
Jen is now, due to the lockdown, furloughed from work until 3 Dec 20, she has only been working two days a week, waiting to overcome the effects of her stroke. Going back to work did her the world of good. Seeing and speaking with friends and work mates over the last tw0 months, since her therapy ended. Now she has to put up with me for the next few weeks, but she will have respite as I will be in church serving, preaching and occasionally leading services for the next few months.
I am now having to cope with the new, interim safeguarding training, which is two online sessions in December, but with much reading and writing and submitting work books ahead and after the online sessions. As well as editing and publishing the parish magazine.
Prayers for you in solitude and solidarity.
