I am sad. I am not happy. I cannot see my grandchildren until covid 19 has gone. I am in a high risk group, apparently. I shouldn't travel in buses. There's enough food in the cupboard for now. After that we'll do on-line shopping. Most of my friends are similarly situated, "in the same boat". There won't be an art group meeting this month, and there won't be an exhibition either. I can't teach Cornish in a cafe. I can't go to the library or museum. Fortunately I have lots of books on my shelves. I have a copious supply of art materials and needlework as well. I should make something wonderful. Meanwhile it's spring and there's a lot of work to do in the garden.
