    Sometimes it gets to me....a lot.... then it seems OK.... but always, always provisional now.....

    Music helps, nature helps, cats help, films help, food helps...... alcohol helps more....lots of it......

    The subdued queue for food..... (queueing for food...!).... the comradely smiles at a wide berth on the local country walk....the neighbours gathering at a distance each Thursday Night banging pans and ringing rusty bells........the shouted 2-metre conversations.....
    .....the cats and dogs don't know, they think its all the same........

    I think of something called "the future".... "the future" doesn't bear the thinking....

    So the Live Action SciFi Film continues, and I don't think I'm the indestructible star....just another disposable extra....

      ..... ...but blimey, you can spell 'parallel' OK. Is there a you-know-what universe where every single thing is the same as in ours but you-know-what is spelled paralell? And another one where it's spelled parrallell?

      And you think you're going those things you pull at Christmas...no not those!!!!!

        One thing I have found myself wondering is how this would all have felt, played out, seemed, 20, 30, 40 years ago, pre internet, smartphone etc.
        I suppose that back then it would probably have spread more slowly due to the much lower levels of international travel , is one thing to consider.

        We (liberal /lefties) might even imagine wishing that thatcher was around to run the show........

        ( I suppose I should wash my mouth out with soap and water for 20 seconds now).
        I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

        I am not a number, I am a free man.

          What, "I'd thought I start . . . "? I'm rather fond of spelt, myself. Gives bread that little something extra.

                    If you feel bad, try the old 4-7-8........

                    Breathe in deep on the count of 4.......hold on the count of 7......breathe out slow on the count of 8.....

                    ...OK.... and again.....

                    ...believe me, it will help......

                      I thought I was, but then I put my underpants on my head and a pencil up each nostril, before pronouncing “wibble”

                      With apologies to Blackadder

                          Another suggestion offered by a lady in a dentist's waiting room, where, being a very nervous child, I was experiencing "stomach butterflies", was to clench fists tight for a few seconds, and the anxiety would go away. It did, immediately - and this has proved invaluable ever since. I don't think we had heard of acupressure points, back then.

                            Perhaps this very serious matter should be on the Coronavirus thread, but does anyone know what's happened to flour supplies? Completely empty shelves in my local supermarket on Tues bar 4 bags of spelt flour, which was fortunately just what I was after!
                            I keep hitting the Escape key, but I'm still here!
