warmlove's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When The World stopped doing what it did #we can work from home, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh/Lets put into motion/imma give you a promotion# First, I have been thinking of and hoping everything will be alright for Karen's Mum in An Isolation ICU on a ventilator. Karen can't see her or hug her or talk to her and I cant imagine how fucking terrible that must be. I've got no words...I just hope that she'll pull through . That story, is the same for, it might end up being thousands...maybe me included, of families and people who have loved ones..and that's where my mind is focused not on "oooh, it's so hard being a Graphic Designer having to sit in my jice flat, eating and Skyping, knowing that my billl's will be sorted through this". That said, of course, things that make us laugh and smile and inspire us are important to get us through... Two texts sum up this thing right now: Dreaming of the outside Seeing that local councils have been instructed to house everyone sleeping rough by the end of the week. And the comment made by someone at a Homelessness charity that you can't then turf them all out 'after this is INSERT THE CLICHE' made me think that would be a truly good change to come from all this. Seeing a Tory government have to make sure that (almost) everyone is sorted to live a basic life of financial okayness has been a perfect antidote to them getting back in in December in that grim landslide. I just hope this is that shake-up to change everything. I mean I'm not a fucking expert on anything...not geopolitics , the stockmarket, economics are virology .... House situation in this time is thankfully pretty good Thanks to Jack, shiny, wonderful Jack becoming unofficial Housemate #4....his warmth, creativity, fun has been a really saving grace, even if Sara does wring his neck for being a scattered (I gave him a yellow flower pot to put all of his shit in...a Day Pot we call it, where he can squirrel away his eye cream, Golden Virginia and wig glue...long story) Video chatted to Ana and her amazing baby Alma! So great to see her face again and I love how having a baby with her boyfriend (who's a Director) happened and they are making feature films together...see you can do both these things! Georgia came out of The Forest of Flake and we had a video chat as predictably on again-off again boyfriend made one of his Super Curries in the background. But I have missed that gal I need to speak to Sparkles...she has been in Lombardy where there have been a huge amount of cases...she was messaging me a few weeks back expressing the gravity of the situation and I ignorantly had the (maybe) arrogance of thinking that would not being something that would occur here. For me I just keep thinking of Karen and her Mum and the horrific nature of that...me staying in my home is not something I can whine about, no way. I hope our house stay ok but there will be some fall outs I'm sure...but feel I'm in a pretty fortunate situation...Sylv is not all alone bk in Sandleheath any more..she's staying in June's house after a stressful few phone calls as I paced Asda before the 2metre stuff was being enforced with Granma refusing to let her stay (strangely, despite this Sylv housing thing i've had some really lovely phone conversations with her recently) and Andy nervously suggesting that I should come home and stay until the 'situation'..the big, world-wide one...and stay with her. I was geared up to do that at one point...tho I knew it would take some mental triple enforced steel for me but if the alternative was Mum having a total breakdown but luckily for both of us, June changed her mind ...I mean she gets a free Three month tutor and play-mate for Rio.... 4:18 p.m. - 2020-03-29 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
