Virus - 93 Year Old's view.March 30th.

Instead of posting daily as intended when this virus crisis broke,reality about my aged eyesight and tendency to tire and strain looking at the computer screen may mean posting 2 or 3 times a week,or as and when, because my eye sight seems to have good days and bad days. It's a dilemma.A two edged sword.

I need to write.To have a purpose.It has saved me from the perils of loneliness these past 16 years,since bereavement.

There is still disbelief in sections of the community, about the lockdown legal requirement to stay at home 

The police are having to break up barbecues and other party gatherings.

Many do not watch the news.They wander the deserted streets and think 'It must be a charity flag day. 

Before political correctness that remark was made about certain cities with their reputation for meanness, err, sorry, frugality.

Some counties though, are proud of their carefulness with money.

You will know when you are in Yorkshire by the cries of 'How Much?'

Nature is wonderful,all powerful and in command.

Notice how the warnings about our excesses are getting stronger and stronger.Freak weather.Bird Flue.Sars.

The excesses are understandable.People in many countries have the money,so they do the natural thing and spend it.

But it is false money.Governments think they've found the answer to the problem of economic recession by printing money.And it has worked.

But instead of the natural ebb and flow of economic expansion and correction,we are now faced with an almighty Biggy.

I can't make up my mind whether humans are here by mistake,or nature needed a competitor to keep itself sharp.

It seems odd that we are the only species with the intelligence to think and talk.

Like a marriage,the relationship between nature and humans has its ups and downs.It requires tolerance. I think nature is losing patience. This suffering will bring about soul searching and change.
