The Weather Couldn't Be Nicer.

Birds, sunshine and blue skies..

Somehow it doesn't seem as though we were fighting for dear life. The last few days have been warm enough to hang washing on the line to dry and every time I do that I look around, notice the budding signs of spring and have to remind myself that life as we know it is busy changing or has changed.

Mornings are eerily quiet in our neighbourhood but by late afternoon the various families can be seen walking. My neighbours took their little baby for a walk and we chatted with a distance of ten meters between us. Uncertainties abound because the invisible enemy has chosen a perfect setting to hide in plain sight. One can't believe it is out there and in such prolific numbers too.

Everyone is pulling together and helping others. Farmers of the surrounding areas have dropped virtual flyers selling their produce. Restaurants are starting delivery services and folks are posting their phone numbers in case anyone needs help with shopping etc. Nice, a community is reestablishing itself and not a day too soon.

Luckily we are living in the middle of a wine producing area and at least don't have to worry about running out of wine...although water seems to be the latest victim of the rumour mill, a close second behind the toilet paper chronicles! Friday will see me do a grocery run and it will be interesting to see whether there is still bottled water to be had...
