Self Isolation

During this awful Coronavirus pandemic I will be self isolating as I am over 70. Might pop out for a walk ocassionally if I go stir crazy and need to stretch my legs! I'll have to run up and down the stairs a few times daily to keep up with my exercises. The Daily Doodle on FB will help me keep "my eye in". I expect to be doing lots more collaging and rubber stamp making. Not so much mail art as I expect the post office will be closed soon. Signed up to Zoom to video conference. That's Hazel's doing really as she has to do online tutorials with her students as the college is closing soon for the forseeable future. All very sad and worrying. We have enough food and toilet rolls and plenty of newspaper if we have to make our own! That huge pile of DVD's I dubbed from old VHS tapes will certainly come into it's own! I knew there was good reason for spending so much time copying those! All the hoarders out there are saying "Who's the fool now!?"

Who knows what the future might bring but we have to stay positive. Things in China seem to have plateaued now so a light at the end of the tunnel. Cheers!
