After days of gloom people came out to see the sunshine today, dog walkers, joggers, old folks, couples and those with children. I avoided them all!
These Daffodills have been coming through since December, the rain, and now sunshine might tempt them to show themselves in the chill northern wind. End of January, Spring getting closer, clouds getting thinner (Ha! fat chance) and the days getting longer!
The socially distant were enjoying the day. I was just glad to get outside, the first time since Friday, and walk around. The clever people tell us it may be two or three years before enough people have been properly vaccinated and the threat dealt with. Many are unhappy with that. Hmmm...some places in Africa and elsewhere they are in danger of all sorts of disease, they appear to cope better than we do.
The pandemic has shown how wealth has eroded our ability to cope with stress. The nation does not knwo how to suffer, therefore nonsense about the virus not existing, or being dangerous continue, crowds form, partygoers party en masse, and the virus spreads. We have been knocked out of our routine and do not like it. Maybe the routine was wrong anyway?
These guys were knocked out fo their routine, their ambitions altered, their hopes dashed also. We call them 'Heroes,' and wonder why we are different. We are no different, they just had to get on with life as it is, so do we.
Anyway, when I go out, I dress like this, just in case...

Wearing that, were you avoiding people, or vice versa?
It does have a certain appeal, though. Reminds me of something seen on a Paris catwalk.
Fly, Certainly people avoided me...
Nice suit sir.
Its good to get out and with the sunshine it has that feel good factor. I try and go out everyday even if its a short walk just to get fresh air.
Dave, Indeed, trapped inside for days made the chilly sunshine attractive.
call me trivial but I am just wondering why someone took the trouble of putting ears on that bucket....
Jenny, It makes the wearer look attractive.
