Happy Easter.
Hopefully the last one in lockdown mode. At least lots of time for browsing my archives
On the eve of England's Lockdown 2.0, a very late and rather battered Peacock butterfly was most unexpected after an overnight frost. As the day dawned, the frost gave way to lovely late autumn sunshine.

"Attention all personnel. Security breach detected. System lockdown activated. Please contact your nearest system advisor for assistance." - "I need that door to open right now, Corporal."
Pretty much a follow up to this scene. Again inspired by Dead Space 2, even though I went for a different kind of atmosphere this time. In fact it seems reasonably closer to the daylight version of the first scene. In other news, I once again obey my tradition to finish the year with some sort of indoor scene.
Had a fancy for millionaires shortbread, but we don't have most of the ingredients. So - this is lockdown shortbread - no butter, no caster sugar, but still, fresh from the oven it is delicious.

As of today, an ankle monitoring bracelet
has been introduced into my simple life !
From lockdown, to mild meandering ...;)
A few days back there was an issue
with a palm-oil-tree. Tree won, I lost.
Now at the time the issue was just brushed
off by yours truly. No# 1 wife was not happy !
Long story short -- I was wrong, first time ever ;)
The Scratch, well, try as I might it did get infected.
So, no# 1 took away the computer & scooter/sidecar.
Nurse stuck a big needle in my butt, Dr gave me pills.
Next check-in is Sunday the 18th around noon-o'clock.
No Big Deal, the scratch is drying-up and itchy.
Yesterday the Nikkor 35 1.8 lens was used to
document some treasures. The knife on the
far right is a Swiss Army Knife, The Officer.
I've carried that one sense the 1970's......
Weather > More rain and then way more rain !
Will we be over in the mud cobra field soon ?
That call is up to no# 1 wife. She was really
furious with my backwoods medical act.
I'll do the best I can to get over there.
It will take a few days to play catchup ;-)

"Head in the clouds
Or under the weather
Havin' your fun
With two weeks in the sun
And the rest is December
But something's appearin'
It's blurrin' your vision
And it's cuttin' a shape
Like a hot razor blade
With a deadly precision
Now you're caught in a game
You don't know how to play....."
Humor is known as an excellent coping mechanism.
Stanford researcher Andrea Samson and psychology Professor James Gross ran an experiment where subjects were asked to improvise jokes. They found that people who made any kind of quip benefited, reporting both increases in positive emotions and decreases in negative emotions.
"If you are able to teach people to be more playful, to look at the absurdities of life as humorous, you see some increase in wellbeing," said Samson.
(It seems absurd to me that acedamics have taken so long to realise that modern society is self delusional madness. I mean just watch any TV advert and think about what it's actually saying).
As we British are wont to do, making light of the situation is the first port of call defence mechanism, to soothe collective anxiety. So whether that's quasi-philosophical coronavirus quotes or full-on coronavirus jokes, here is a sample of what's out there, to give you a little light relief.
Well I had planned to put several humourous Coronavirus jokes here, but after searching the internet for about an hour all I have found are several (much repeated and coppied) Jokes in bad taste.
it's odd we British normally have a fairly dark and sometimes "gallows" sense of humour, but it seems to be missing at the moment.
“Laughter is a symbol of hope, and it becomes one of our greatest needs of life, right up there with toilet paper!
