Coronavirus LOCKDOWN – Day 34

The lock from a rather posh wedding album case.

20,000! Disgraceful we did not lock down earlier. We would not have saved them all but many would be alive today and there would be that many fewer grieving relatives.

Alice dreamed, we live the nightmare.

Yoga with Oona and Adriene. Now doing 30 Days of yoga with Adriene. ‘Integrate’. Sounds…

Shocking, shocking, shocking! Taken as a screenshot from https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/

I ask a simple question. Why are Johnson, Hancock and the rest still in their jobs?

53,272 total deaths, many of which are at the door of Number 10 and the Government in Westminster.

I love to see images printed, especially when made large!

This was at Dunham Massey where we had been told there were some great swathes of flowers. We have now made it up into a canvas and Oona now graces the wall.

This is my Sony lens with an ‘E mount’. To lock the lens onto the camera I have to line up two white dots, one on the lens and one on the camera, and twist the lens until I here a ‘click’, and the lens is secure. ‘Simples’!
