Things are going backward this week due to a rise in the coronavirus infection rate. I suppose since restaurants, bars and schools have opened up it was inevitable. Also there is now a Test and Trace network working which means monitoring of the presence of the virus is perhaps improved, i.e. more of the population being measured means more found?
We have now moved to a state where we can no longer visit other houses or have social gatherings of more than 6. Any thoughts of opening up halls for cultural, sports, church are now on hold.
Today an app has been put out by NHS Scotland. It is supposed to indicate if you have been in contact with a person who is Positive. It was straightforward to download.
In the meantime we keep busy; it's the only way!
Up until this week the children have been coming to us after school. That has now stopped, regrettably.
Some photos of last week:
Alastair's school jacket in the hall
Doing a jigsaw - I order them from Wentworth puzzles using one of John's group photos from their summer holiday... worth every penny for the peach and quiet it give!
Ellie eating porridge after school. She is strongly left-handed.
Harriet 7 and Ellie 5 taken by Mairi recently.
Alastair who will be 13 years old in February
Ishbel will be 14 years old in December. We have been spending more time in our 'Test Kitchen', i.e. she comes over on a Saturday or after school. The kids are now bigger eaters which means we enjoy baking things for them to try.
This is a Lockdown Sky. After being to the shops and using a mask in all buildings, malls, tea-rooms upon entering but not eating... it is nice to sit out and just enjoy the deep blue sky. Normally there would be planes going over heading to Glasgow Airport. - very few these days. How can that last for the airlines?!
