How is everyone doing?
I find the world strange, like we have entered a strange episode of The Twilight Zone, but its the real world.
I live in a small town, and its strange.
People are suddenly very afraid of each other.
If you sneeze - allergy season, you can clear a parking lot, and then people look at you with such contempt like you are trying to kill them.
BUT on the other side of things, a lady was pushing her cart close to me, and she noticed it and was horrified, and apologized. I told her she had nothing to be sorry for, and she was so relieved.
On a personal level, I am fine, I have a lot of stuff back logged to do, some paper work that has its own " I want to avoid this as much as possible " post it note attached to it.
It is warming up here, we had a wonderful soft rain last night, and it was needed. I need to get my garden bed ready, I would like to have had them done before the rain, but we needed the rain. Yesterday was around 25 C, and it was warm, the warmest day yet, the last week it has slow risen from about 13 C to 17 C, but yesterday it jumped.
It is supposed to stay humid around 30 C for a few days. I would love to find a lake, but garden beds don't dig themselves out and I have 6 to do, not to mention the 36 odd garden containers to tend to.
Has anyone heard of Kombucha ?

Doing OK here Anita. I'm still working, of course many places are starting to open up again. I find it annoying that as we do, more people are not social distancing or wearing masks as they should. Maybe its not needed, maybe it is, but wouldn't you think we should all do it until we know for sure? I had an incident with a customer one day a week ago. I was walking back into the prep room in the meat dept at my store to prepare more meat to bring out. She moved forward as I was going past her and she got upset with me cause that made us only about 3 feet away from each other. She actually said, "You need to be more careful and keep your distance." I was upset because 1. She had no mask, and 2. She moved towards me obviously without watching where she was going...as most customers do. I spoke out like I am not supposed to and told her that if she feared this situation so much, 1. "Why are YOU not wearing a mask?" and 2. "Social distancing is a constant and we should ALL watch what we are doing!" 3. "Can I get a member of management to take your complaint?" She wasn't happy with me but as expected, put her nose up in the air and walked away. Most of the time when you offer them management access, they back down knowing how wrong they are. And with her not wearing a mask, what could she say? She doesn't have to but everyone else does? People have become so much more selfish and rude since this happened. At least that's my observation and most of us in the store. Its been very nice weather finally here in Northeast Ohio for a good week now. FINALLY! Its been in the low to mid 80's. I have heard the name Kombucha, but have no idea what you are talking about! LOL  |

Everyone is OK down my way. Both my husband Darryl and I were out of work for quite a while, but he went back last week and I go back June 1st.
Weather has been good here too!

Doing ok here.
A lot of people are not wearing masks in shops the way they are supposed to. We took the first tentative steps out of lockdown on Thursday but a lot of people took it too far and gathered at beaches so now because some people refuse to social distance they are threatening to tighten the laws again.
It is so frustrating, if people don’t follow the rules and the reproduction rate of the virus goes above one we will all be stuck inside till Christmas.
I am glad I am in Scotland and not England though. England is opening much more quickly to get the economy moving even though the medics and scientists say it is too soon.

OK where I am. Like the Professor, I see very little effort being made in wearing masks now that the President has issued orders to begin opening up again. Very sad.
