Life in the Time of Coronavirus 4

I think it's Sunday - but everyday seems like Sunday anyway!
Laura made us banana pancakes for breakfast - a vegan recipe that tasted pretty nice.

We all did relaxing things that we like - I am trying to read all three books in the Hilary Mantel Wolf Hall series. I also realised that the series made by the BBC in 2015 is still available on iPlayer - so have been watching those too as I get through the books.

After a lunch of left-over pizza from last night's delivery Laura needed to go back to her flat to check for post and get more clothes. I went with her - just to get out of the house. There is no-one else in her flat. We decided to do our daily walk from there - just to get a change of scenery.
It was really quiet in town - the only place we saw a lot of people was in a big queue outside KFC - who have recently opened to allow drive-through orders Seems like a lot of people have missed that. I'm not sure if it is safe enough yet - I don't think we'll be trying it any time soon.

We strolled through the Queen's Gardens - there were one or two other people about but everyone was observing the social distancing so we kept away from anyone else.

People are being really good and will cross the road to avoid each other. The gardens were looking beautiful - and this weekend is usually the one when we have the Limelight Festival - with live music outdoors all over town - including the Queen's Gardens

Obviously with the pandemic - it has been cancelled.

Got back and checked my questions for the quiz - tonight we have the normal quiz with 5 rounds on different topics. I think our friends and family and players of Interference are still enjoying them - they keep all turning up! It's nice to see them in the chat and be able to ask how they are coping and if they are still well. MightyMo (N's friends from school) who is an optometrist has actually had Covid9 - and is still recovering weeks later. He is so lucky to be okay.
