Thankyou, and keep safe, hard times.
Thankyou, and keep safe, hard times.Don't feel uneasy. As one of those 1.5 million who need shielding I appreciate you sharing the fruits of your talent. Consider it part of putting your arm around us and thanks very much.
I will do my best. I'm sure @gennepher will also. Maybe even @Debandez Eric and @DJC3 once she's go the hang of blending those pencils.I think art is very important, especially in troubled times! Please keep posting!
With all that's crazy going on in the world I feel uneasy posting my art this evening. Equally I promised I would finish the first in my @OldButBold Lost Souls watercolour. So here it is A4 size Watercolour Lost Souls entering the grey havens by moonlight.

Thank you, Mrs MC says the third soul along from the left is how I am going to look after all this rationing to try and make our food last longer.Beautiful, love it
@SaskiaKC Leylandii can get very tall. Up to 40 feet. Ours is now approximately half it's original height at about 8 feet. Its now as tall as it is wide. Am still shrinking it slowly and carefully because although a very vigorous hedge Leylandii is also sensitive. Cut it back too much and you have permanent ugly brown patches.

I am going round my garden to find any seedlings from previous years @SlimLizzy@gennepher hugs for your seed frustration. Have been trying to buy seeds here in Normandy. On Amazon.fr 10 x courgette seeds cost a massive €12.50. All DIY stores are closed. So are garden centres. Seeds difficult to find, seedlings impossible.
But sorting the last few pots in the garden found a self seeded tomato.plant growing in with an avocado. Left the two friends together. (It's a bit late.for quarantine) but gave them some new compost. Weather report says it's going to be cold. Maybe i need to fetch my seedlings in. Bricomarché will.deliver a tiny greenhouse, but if you want a polytunnel you have to collect it. But ofc you cant because they are shut. Grrrr useless people.

The following is an excerpt from a March 13, 2020 article by Jonathan Tepperman, Editor in Chief, Foreign Policy:
As of this writing, 116,145 people have contracted COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus, and 4,090 of them have died. Worse, in the West, infections are still accelerating, which means it has yet to experience the pandemic’s full force.
... We as a species have survived far worse. ... I’m talking about HIV/AIDS (which, for many years, had a 100 percent fatality rate, 95-99 percentage points higher than the coronavirus), SARS, and H1N1. I’m talking about the seasonal flu, which killed 80,000 people in 2017-2018 in the United States alone—75,910 more than have died so far from COVID-19 worldwide. Or consider traffic accidents, which kill about 1.25 million people every year yet seem to have little impact on people’s behavior, either good and bad.
Yet, despite the likelihood that the majority of people will never get the virus and that the vast majority who do (assuming it doesn’t mutate) will survive, people and governments are reacting in some extreme ways.

Can't sleep so up and grumpy with a 5.9 and 35.1 on the temp gauge. I have to go into the village today, using the car but I'm still nervous about it. My local drug dealer has my stuff but they let me know the cops are about.
That is possibly the most irresponsible piece of journalism I have read lately. It is comparing apples and pears to argue that AIDS/HIV is a bigger killer (it's not) because the ONLY way to get it is through actual physical sex or a direct blood transfusion. This is the argument anti-vaxxers use and you may as well state the following (as it's actually more factual) -
Life has been shown to be far more deadly than any virus. Life... something suffered by 100% of humanity with a 100% death rate. No-one survives yet the governments of the world do nothing at all to help the spread of Life. China famously tried to prevent Life by restricting childbirth but the religious right in the west refused to take up the plan leading to a 2.4 billion increase in Life in less than 10 years. A spokesman for WHO said, "It is true that Life is the singular most deadly disease, the only cure is that you only live once (YOLO) but the Hindus, Buddhists, and Daoist refuse to play the game".
Apples and pears
Told not to worry about the masks because none will be available,
and the gowns they have been shown that they will have to wear take two people to fit them and the physios work on their own.
