Staying Home for Coronavirus 4 - Feed your mind for free - download someone else's words into your brain and take a break from this reality

I think we're all well aware by now that panic buying has stripped the shelves of food globally, and the supply chains are struggling to catch up. In the immortal words of the CEO of the retail food association at today's press conference at No 10 Downing Street - and here I paraphrase - it's time to start eating your hoard. She was talking about food, I'm talking about books! And not just your own hoard of books you've read so often they're falling apart, you've always intended to read or were seduced into buying or borrowing because someone else said how brilliant they were. Trollope's Barchester Chronicles anyone? (I keep starting it but never finish).

A hoard of books - loved to tatters? always intended to read?

Staying Home for Coronavirus Day 2 - The World Outside by Webcam

I've been having a think, I don't really want to have the heading as Coronavirus, cos I'm hoping it'll pass me by - so now this series will be called Staying Home. for Coronavirus.

Also news moves so fast that there's all sorts of things I want to find out and talk about. But I have limited energy - after all, I'm merely carrying on the life I have had for the last 6 years, housebound is my normal - so I need to have a plan... And my plan is, on Odd Days (ie Day 1, 3, 5 etc) the post will be practical about things to do to make life safer and more bearable, and Even Days (ie Day 2, 4, 6 etc) the post will be about finding the good things in life, relaxing, taking time to live in the present and be content with the 'right now' moment in time.

And today - it's Day 2 - so it's an even day. It's something that's a bit fun, relaxing and takes your mind off one's worries.
