Closing in

Well I am glad I made it out for a walk yesterday, because today it would seem that there is no escaping the impact of covid-19.

It is not that I believe that I have it, but with the arrival of a barking cough today, I am obliged to self isolate for a week according to government instructions.

So now, I fluctuate between worrying about all those people I have been in contact with over the last week or so, and feeling a complete fraud for isolating when I don't feel ill.

Damned if you do, and damned if you don't.

All set up with laptop and Microsoft team for working from home from tomorrow.
It all seems so very surreal. Overkill? Scaremongering? At the end of the day we can only comply with common sense and the ability to do best by others. A good opportunity to do all those household jobs we have been meaning to do. Keep well x

It's a strange time, isn't it. Good luck with the home working.

I like your ICM. Take care, and keep safe. I am self isolating because I am in the vulnerable elderly category with existing asthma.

Take care! We have been working from home for the past two weeks now and likely until April. The city is a ghost town. Very eerie.

Don't be too hard on yourself, we're all a bit uncertain about exactly what to do for the best .......... you're following current advice, so no need to feel guilty.
I hope working from home goes ok and you're not barking down the phone for too long, take care xx

I love this ICM. You are doing the right thing staying home even if there is a chance you don't have the virus. Better to be safe than sorry. Stay safe. fav

Wonderful ICM! And really, so smart to stay home at this point. The risks are far higher than not.

Nicely done ICM. Take care!

Love it, most excellent

Love both the photos. The tiniest niggle sets our imagination off. I had a slight throat irritation last night, could not fall asleep, tried to reason with myself, but to no avail. This morning right as rain! I hope your cough eases off and you can find enjoyment in the enforced confinement.

Nice picture - and I am a fan of ICM. I do hope that you are fine and only have a cold. We too are staying in more than going out - or at least avoiding most other people. John and I are both over 70 so need to be careful.

Your softness of yesterday's image is now fully projecting the lack of clarity our times make us feel. An artistic rendition.
