Staying safe for Easter

While I look out our lounge window at our street I see how quiet it is out there. We have a park across the road and once in a while someone takes their dog over there for a play.

I heard today we have had our 2nd death and sad to hear it was an elderly lady - sad because her family weren't able to be with her at the end but apparently she had very caring hospital staff who were at her side.

Numbers here are up to 1283 as of yesterday, 40 up on the previous day, still not as much as other countries but we really need to knock it on the head here.

Some of the supermarkets made the decision to close yesterday to give their workers a much needed rest. I spoke to an old work colleague Thursday night and he advised me that everyone had been working 200% to keep everything well stocked.

This weekend being Easter people have been told to still stay home in lockdown but hundreds are trying to travel out of the cities into holiday towns and police have set up roadblocks to turn them around.

I can't believe there are some out there who are so selfish and use such excuses as "they are taking their dogs an hour away to another beach for a walk" or someone else saying "they are going to pick up something they bought online". I really question if people understand how serious this whole pandemic is.

We are pretty fortunate here as we don't need to do our food shopping until next week I won't have to line up and wait, hopefully after the Easter craziness I'll be able to walk in again like I did last time with no queues.

We have been watching Jamie Oliver cooking episodes lately, one series in particular is where he makes yummy food using only 5 ingredients.

I have already made the other half a sticky onion tart which virtually had very little preparation time and was so easy to put together.

Please leave me a comment to say how you have been doing where you are. Stay safe.
