Lockdown 2.1, day 29

And counting...

Today I had a bit difficulties with myself. I slept bad, last night, and could not find the positive vibe this morning.  It irritated me, because, right yesterday, at supervision, I promised to be more encouraging, myself and others. 
This afternoon, however, me and my good friend D90, went to Düsseldorf. Main target. Fresh bread, yum! 
Second thing, a few photos, third thing a walk in the chilly cold. 
When wandering around, I saw a lot of strange things, what not fit in a lockdown, if you ask me.  Stalls that you usually see with christmas and fairs, with Crepes, Poffertjes and other sweets, are free to get. 
Not that anyone is willing to  buy it, it is simply cold and there is not much fun in the city, and I truly wonder if that can be counted as 'essential food'.

Luckily the officials now as well point on the fact that this lockdown is a very light lockdown, there can be more done, read, more limitaitons, easily.

For me and the diary today it will do that I raised my eyebrows.
The many many empty places were not really helping me to get my chin up. That happened only first when I was happy at home again :) 

The photo... The restaurants, that are closed from November, and most likely not open another 2 months.... 

To be continued.....

Lockdown 2.1, day 28

 Wednesday it is.  

I know that very well, because of my supervision meeting today.  I also know about the lockdown, it is so long ago that I saw that group of people alive, and so much more longer that we could really meet free, and with a hug.

I slept long, this morning, the day started bright, instead of grey, and after a very slow start I did my shoppings, my cooking, my games, my everything. I start to like the 'telko' meetings, there are so many nice programs to communicate with each other, and, as  a substitute, it is best to see poeple, as to not see them at all.
Not much news today. The digital world was my world today.  Well, not true, my world is the one I love the most, and who is next to me.
But I love a lot more.

The supervision gave me a word, that I want to use the coming time. 
The word is courage. To be it, and to give it.
No matter what darknes is coming. There is always a light, when you look for it. Love is everywhere, we just need to find it.
Don't waste the time with searching. Find it.

No sunday yet, so I stop my preaching,   Hallelujah, I hear you say :) 

The photo is from yesterday, after the rain.
It takes courage to pass the pond.
Or maybe not?
Depends on your goal.

We meet again, tomorrow.

Lockdown 2.1, day 27

 And the news is, as I feared. The first signals are thee, that we will get a longer lockdown.  But first, until the end of the month, this.

I slowly get  used to the Lockdown rythm.  Waking up, drinking coffee, waking up again, and that for a few times, and then it is time to go to bed.
Today started grey and wet, and  was brutally interrupted with sunshine. So you can imagine where I went for a little walk. It was such a nice surprise, on not a too bad day.  The worries about the future are not getting less. It is going to be a hard time, and I so much wish us to get through this in a positive way. Why? Because we can not change it. We just have to do it. You can be a rebel, but what does it help, to  bring chaos and disorder? 

On with the show.  The photo of today is 'the bridge'  in the park.  A place where, in those days, the whole city places its footprints.  And so  dio I. As I ever did, since I came to here. And, I always will. 

Stay healthy. And stay positive.  Those 2 belong together.

Lockdown 2.1, day 26

 Oooh we did it! 

We ordered new lamp lights, on line. 

This morning ordered, this afternoon picked up. Man, it was cold outside!

Today I stayed at home, better said, we. 😊

So the only activity, worth to mention, is mentioned above.

and I made a photo. 

Shopping in a lockdown is some kind of adventure. 😳

and tonight...There is the light! 

Lockdown 2.0 day 25

 So...

As from tomorrow the lockdown will be stricter, less contacts are allowed and when the numbers of victims get too high, we get limitations in how much we can get out.

Today it was the normal lockdown.  The street in the city was as usual on every day of the week. Empty streets.
This morning I stared out of the window, desperately wishing that the darkness should go. And when I decided to go out anyway, this aftternoon, the sun came out as well.  That is my lesson for today. When you want to do something, just do it. Unless you better not,  for the health of yourself and others...

The photo of today, at one of my favorite spots to go to, but yeah, well, you see what happens in times of lockdown.  I made my photos, masked  and this one as well.

Heading for a cozy night. Let's see what tomorrow will bring.

Lockdown 2.0 day 24

And counting.

The signals don't look very bright, for the coming weeks, the first thoughts about a longer lockdown come already up.

The street was very empty. At Saturday not even the tram is in the city, and it looked really like a goast town. Partially it was the damp, the clouds are very low at the moment. I can imagine that a lot of people feel down, depressed and worried.

News of today?  Cleaned the house, a bit, and cleaned away the christmas things.  I was wondering, asking myself how the situation will be with christmas.

No one knows. Good chance that we got a vaccination, before that time, but it definitely will not make the things as they were before.  The huge events (funfair, Schützenfest/Parades) definitely will be different, this year. I hope that most people remain patience, and act wise.
Acting wise, is not a thing what people do in the social media.  The social media theirselves don't do that either.
For example, why do they firsat now ban that monster in the US, instead in the time that he was encouraging his followers to the failed revolution?   Now that the entire world blames him, now, finally, things like FaceBook and Twitter are banning him?  After the deed?

I think I know what is behind it (it is at the bank accounts), but that goes too far for this 'corona' blog :) 

What not means that I will not speak my mind. I speak my mind anywehere. Wherever I may roam 

The  photo is of the small walk I made yesterday. Today the weather was a bit better (dry, anyway), but I did not feel like going out, more then to the market. It is a good day, so far. And it will be a better week for sure! :) Why?  Well, follow me :)  hehe.  Now the dictator has temporarily lost his social theathre, I decided to look again at my twitter.  Still the same, just another password :) 



 

Lockdown 2.0 day 23

 Umm, is it really Friday today?  It looks so much like it is a Sunday, or a Tuesday...

Day 23, and a long way to go, because the numbers barely go down, still.

It happened to me.  A friend asked me, do you come along with me, to Cologne?  Yea, I said, wonderful.  And right then I thought ..no no.. not a good idea.  
Sitting in the car together, and we can not be fully sure that one of us does not has 'it'.. Meeting outside is okay, but this risk, do I take it?

Also, instead of that I made my walk in the park,  together with my camera.  Good that we can get out. Even when the weather is as grey as that it was on Tuesday. Or is it Sunday today?  Oh, it is Friday?  I see...

The photo is taken today and typical.  The problem with corona is appearantly not a reason to change unsocial behavior.
And we, who follow the rules, are becoming the fools.
Ha!  Forget it. I want to be clean and know that I did what I should do.  And will do. Until the end!

Stay  safe, everyone.
