Day 10:

OK this is something I just don't get.  Every evening for the past few weeks the TV movies have all been apocalyptic or major calamity movies.  We probably have the choice of 4 or 5 films a night with the standard channels we get.  Every one of them, and I mean EVERY one, has been a disaster film.  So it must be one of two things.  Either the powers that be at the networks think they are catering to the curious, the head swiveling car crash watchers who are getting some sort of thrill out of this; or they are trying to assure us that THINGS COULD BE WORSE.  There could be zombies.  I am not watching TV.  I'm binge watching all sorts of cheery British panel shows and gardening shows.  I'm rereading a funny book that I didn't realize I had read before but decided to keep on because it's distracting me.

On another note we are hearing ambulance after ambulance go by on the main road below us.  Easily one every half hour.  This is not pleasant.  Though sitting out on the terrace in the sun knowing that I don't need to be anywhere or do anything IS rather pleasant.  The kids next door are going stir crazy.  Today they were thrilled to take out the trash.  Lordy kids enjoying chores.  What will become of us all? 

Be well.  xxoo me
