Hi Friends,
Goodness, another week without a post. I have been super busy with work (thankfully, working from home) but like all of you, trying to make sense of all of this. I wake up thinking is today the day we have a breakthrough but no, just more alarming stats. I try not to worry but it’s hard and unfortunately I’ve been finding it hard to disconnect from the nonstop news. Are you feeling the same? How do you disconnect from that?
One thing I will try is what my dear friend, Christine, is doing. As we aren’t able to travel and in some cases under stay-in-shelter orders, why not relieve travel memories by looking through past photos? So that’s why you are seeing a picture here from Stolberg, Germany. This town is located in the Harz which I’m sure I’ve mentioned is a favorite place for us to visit.
So I’ll be traveling through my photo albums in the meantime. And, in case you haven’t heard, you can be a bit of a tourist from your sofa. Visit all of these museums via virtual tours!
Again, I apologize for not being around blogland as much lately. I hope you are all staying healthy and hopefully enjoying a lot of extra time with your books! Tell me what you’ve been reading.
I am doing the virtual museums and touristy attractions as much as I can. So far haven’t gone too stir crazy but let’s chat again next week and see where I am at.
Looking at pictures and going on virtual tours sound like a fun idea given that we’re house bound all the time. And of course, I’m not complaining about the extra reading time although I wish it’s under different circumstances. I’ve to say my cooking skills have been improving a lot since we hardly eat out these days (not even food delivery). I miss our good old normal days.
Italian mayors chiding their reclacitrant citizens. Dark humor.
I don’t speak Italian, but some words are similar to Spanish, so I believe that the translations are accurate.

I was freaking out in late January and early February, because I knew that the response of all the countries would be lacking. And since all governments have/are messing up, I have calmed down a lot. It’s here, and all I can do is to be careful. Luckily, I can work from home.
I’ve lived through 9/11 (but not in DC or NYC) and Hurricane Katrina (my house in New Orleans didn’t flood, but I had to deal with craziness when I went back in Oct 2005), so this is another disaster for me. For the young people, this is their first time dealing with a disaster, so I feel sorry for them.
Those virtual museum links are great! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
I’ve been watching more television than is probably good for me as of late. I hope I can get my reading mojo back soon because that kind of escape is probably better for me. I try to avoid the news too, but it has a way of slipping in. I hope you are well and stay safe.
