There's a lot of nothing going on over here.  I wake up mornings to the sound of men working two feet from my bed.  A little irksome.  Especially as I've seen them.  I've seen no friends as they all live in different towns though only a few minutes away.  I tutor a couple hours a day both in person and on line.  Apart from that I spend way too much time reading the news and getting more and more depressed about the future for my loved ones, the state of the US, the state of the World.....  

The November weather hasn't been helping my mood any.  In a frequently gray place November is the grayest month.  Yesterday we had lunch with MIL at her place.  As it is in a different town and we can only visit one at a time, we drove separately and arrived 15 minutes apart.  It's ridiculous but necessary.  People are being stopped and fined for breaking the lock down rules.  I parked in a square in front of the town's oldest and largest church.  On any normal Sunday the square would have been swarming with post mass talkers and walkers.  The bars would be open with people drinking coffee and aperitifs before going home to a long Sunday lunch.  Instead the church doors were locked tight.  There wasn't a soul to be seen.  These are gloomy days my friends!

Stay well.  xxoo Me
