How are you all feeling? Are you all coping with todays
world?
What a world we live in. we are struggling with this
dreadful evil so called virus around the world, we cry and are appalled by the
dreadful murder of the black man in America who was brutally killed by a policeman
who I hope is suffering now wherever he is. But rather than everyone protesting
peacefully, there are thugs out there destroying statues and setting fire to
buildings and cars. But what is totally disgusting is throwing bottles and
worse at our Police in the UK. Most Police are good people who spend their
working life protecting us.
I’m white so of course I don’t understand what people go
through who are treat badly because of their colour, but I am disabled with
blindness, so I understand discrimination.
All I know is, I have respect for those who are protesting
peacefully but for those who are damaging properties and so on, I feel total
anger towards you all and you are just thugs who are using this serious
situation to get off on your disgraceful behaviour.
Thank God today saw the lowest number of people dying of COVID.
77. Of course that is 77 too many. For all the 40,000 plus who have lost their
lives, it’s agonising. Just because our country is starting to open up, doesn’t
mean the virus has gone and remember
those numbers, 77 people, A, have loved ones who are pining, grieving right now
and B, remember those figures are from two or three weeks ago because you don’t
get it one day and die the next. So, in two weeks’ time, let’s see what the
numbers are like. I pray they are low, but I think most people are relaxing
now. I just hope people remember to wash their hands over and over again and
with it being hay fever season in the UK, please carry handkerchiefs with you
at all times.
Re masks, I hate them. I also feel for those who need to lip
read if people wear those, how can that happen if people wear masks?
It’s hellish for those of us who are blind, a new world we
have gone backwards to a hundred years ago as far as people’s opinions and outspoken
views. As far as us not being able to go to a shop without a sighted person and
for those who don’t live with sighted people, how can we not mix with people
with vision if we need to shop. It’s great we are now getting at last groceries
delivered but only once a week, sometimes you, run out of milk, bread, so, why
shouldn’t I?
Sometimes going to a shop, is a person who is blind only
outing. That has been removed from us. With social distancing how can we do
this and how can we see to get to the back of a queue that is sometimes around
the outside of a building? We are prisoners and we have committed no crime.
Horse racing is back on our TV. Sadly. No crowd though, empty
Grand Stands. Silent races. Going back to the awful violent demonstrators, a
poor horse was hurt yesterday whilst carrying a police woman who fell off the
horse. I hate horses being used like that. I wish they were left to be free to
run in fields.
Zoo’s are really suffering with this shutdown because people
are not going to visit them. I hope we can do our best to donate to them to
keep them from having to get rid of some beautiful creatures. I mean they still
have to be fed. The beautiful animals depend on us visiting. Some zoos are trying
to offer other services like paintings, please check out your local zoo on
line, please?
In the UK they are now starting to open churches and other
places of worship. But only one person at a time is allowed in to pray. I really
don’t understand this. What ever God you pray to, he is everywhere, isn’t he?
You can pray from home or in a park, you don’t need to go to church to do that?
And the poor person who is going to have to sterilise everything before and
after your visit. Church is about community, but if communities are not allowed
in, then why go?
Well rain has fallen today for the third day in a row. It’s
been so cold we have had to turn on our heating. It’s June…. We don’t live in
South Africa, it’s summer in England…
How about a few laughs?
(I went skydiving today. A guy strapped himself to me and as
we plummeted through the sky, he asked, so, how long have you, been an instructor?)
Oops.
(My Husband said. I can think of 14 reasons to leave you,
plus your obsession with tennis. I replied, that’s 15 love.)
Thanks for the laughs Ian and a very happy wedding
anniversary to Carrie and Gord. Xx
