As I walked through my meadow of daffodils this morning (I was isolated as its private land) I noticed this 'social distancing' Daffodil away from the other large areas of blooming daffodils, she and I stood there alone and as I listened to the birds singing and took in her simple beauty I tried to remember that she's still blooming and surviving even alone and so will we, its going to be hard but with care and consideration for others we can do this, keep sane, keep safe ~ KissThePixel2020

The 12th of January was the traditional date for New Year in the old-style calendar and used to be celebrated, even in recent years, in parts of Gaelic-speaking Scotland. Today’s winter sunshine walk in Skye took us to the deserted village of Leitir Fura with its ruins standing in poignant isolation and a solitary holly tree can be seen growing out of the remains of one of the former 19th century homes.

Let's put things in "Perspective"
We probably all think that it’s a mess out there now. Hard to discern between what’s a real threat and what is just simple panic and hysteria.
For a small amount of perspective at this moment, imagine you were born in 1900. Many would think that that was a pretty simple time of life. Then on your 14th birthday, World War I starts, and ends on your 18th birthday. 22 million people perish in that war, including many of your friends who volunteered to defend freedom in Europe.
Later in the year, a Spanish Flu epidemic hits the planet and runs until your 20th birthday. 50 million people die from it in those two years. Yes, 50 million.
On your 29th birthday, the Great Depression begins. Unemployment hits 25%, the World GDP drops 27%. That runs until you are 33. The country nearly collapses along with the world economy. If you were lucky, you had a job that paid $300 a year, a dollar a day.
When you turn 39, World War II starts. You aren’t even over the hill yet. And don’t try to catch your breath. If you lived in London England or most of continental Europe, bombing of your neighbourhood, or invasion of your country by foreign soldiers along with their tank and artillery was a daily event. Thousands of Canadian young men joined the army to defend liberty with their lives. Between your 39th and 45th birthday, 75 million people perish in the war.
At 50, the Korean War starts. 5 million perish.
At 55 the Vietnam War begins and doesn’t end for 20 years. 4 million people perish in that conflict.
On your 62nd birthday there is the Cuban Missile Crisis, a tipping point in the Cold War. Life on our planet, as we know it, could have ended. Sensible leaders prevented that from happening.
Now, in 2020, we have the COVID-19 pandemic. Thousands have died; it feels pretty dangerous; and it is!
Now think of everyone on the planet born in 1900. How do you survive all of that? When you were a kid in 1965 and didn’t think your 85 year old grandparent understood how hard school was. And how mean that kid in your class was. Yet they survived through everything listed above.
Perspective is an amazing art. Refined as time goes on, and very very enlightening.
So let’s try and keep things in perspective. Let’s be smart, we are all in this together. Let's help each other out, and we will get through all of this.

Finally something practical and honest from the Head of the Infectious Disease Clinic, University of Maryland, USA: re.Covid19.
1. We may have to live with C19 for months or years. Let's not deny it or panic. Let's not make our lives useless. Let's learn to live with this fact.
2. You can't destroy C19 viruses that have penetrated cell walls, by drinking gallons of hot water - you'll just go to the bathroom more often.
3. Washing hands and maintaining a two-metre physical distance is the best method for your protection.
4. If you don't have a C19 patient at home, there's no need to disinfect the surfaces at your house.
5. Packaged cargo, gas pumps, shopping carts and ATMs do not cause infection. If you Wash your hands, live your life as usual.
6. C19 is not a food infection. It is associated with drops of infection like the ‘flu. There is no demonstrated risk that C19 is transmitted by food.
7. You can lose your sense of smell with a lot of allergies and viral infections. This is only a non-specific symptom of C19.
8. Once at home, you don't need to change your clothes urgently and go shower! Purity is a virtue, paranoia is not!
9. The C19 virus doesn't hang in the air for long. This is a respiratory droplet infection that requires close contact.
10. The air is clean, you can walk through the gardens (just keeping your physical protection distance, through parks.
11. It is sufficient to use normal soap against C19, not antibacterial soap. This is a virus, not a bacteria.
12. You don't have to worry about your food orders. But you can heat it all up in the microwave, if you wish.
13. The chances of bringing C19 home with your shoes is like being struck by lightning twice in a day. I've been working against viruses for 20 years - drop infections don't spread like that!
14. You can't be protected from the virus by taking vinegar, sugarcane juice and ginger! These are for immunity not a cure.
15. Wearing a mask for long periods interferes with your breathing and oxygen levels. Wear it only in crowds.
16. Wearing gloves is also a bad idea; the virus can accumulate into the glove and be easily transmitted if you touch your face. Better just to wash your hands regularly.
Immunity is greatly weakened by always staying in a sterile environment. Even if you eat immunity boosting foods, please go out of your house regularly to any park/beach.
Immunity is increased by EXPOSURE TO PATHOGENS, not by sitting at home and consuming fried/spicy/sugary food and aerated drinks.
Live life sensibly and to the fullest. Be smart and stay informed!

Common sense!
I'm fully vaccinated and boosted. No, I don't know "what's in it".
Neither this vaccine nor the ones I had as a child. Nor do I know
what's in the 11 secret herbs and spices at KFC. I also don't know
exactly what's in Ibuprofen or any other painkiller-- they just treat
my headaches & my pains. I don't know what's in tattoo ink, botox and
fillers, or every ingredient in my soap, shampoo or deodorants. I
don’t know the long term effect of mobile phone use, or whether or not
that restaurant I just ate at REALLY used clean foods and washed their
hands.
There's a lot of things I don't know.
I do know one thing: life is short. Very short. And, I personally
still want to do things. I want to travel and hug people without fear
and, I want to return to and enjoy the feeling of life "before Covid".
Throughout my life I've been vaccinated against many diseases:
Measles, mumps, rubella, polio, chickenpox, hepatitis, influenza,
tetanus. We trusted the science, and never had to suffer through or
transmit any of those said diseases.
I'm vaccinated. Not because I’m a sheep or to please the government.
Not to make other people do it.
But, I don't want to:
* die from Covid-19
* take up a hospital bed if I get sick - Amen!
* not be able to hug my loved ones
* not be able to travel & enjoy events
* live my life in fear
Can't say it any clearer. I'm vaccinated for me and I wear a mask for you!
Thank You
Paul Mageau
Looking forward to the day when social contact can become normal again. Edit of a photo I captured on iPhone a few months ago.

Jakarta is facing a significant COVID wave and given the inadequate health infrastructure, the situation on the ground is getting worse. We all need to ensure that we minimize the stress on the system, stay indoors and let this storm pass.. Take a pause!

Today Núria went out but, attention, just to go to the supermarket to buy essential goods.🍎🍐🍊🍓🍇🍆🌽🍞 Please, do the same and only go out for what is strictly necessary. Only this way we'll be able to flatten the pandemic curve.⤵️📉🙏

This is one of two woven tapestries by the artist Yelena Papova in a small exhibition in the Holden Gallery which is in the Manchester School of Art which we visited in early March . I found them incredibly beautiful even though their subject matter is a little dark they are representing the mausoleums that we will need to construct to keep old nuclear reactors safe .
I have added a wider shot at the top of the comments which show the tapestries in context with other works in the show that was called the Scholar stones project
A little bit about the show
On Christmas Day 2018, artist Yelena Popova took a stroll along the Suffolk shoreline, a short distance from the Sizewell nuclear power stations. Born in Ozyorsk, Russia – a closed city that was the birthplace of the Soviet nuclear weapons programme – Popova started to question the invisible impact of these energy houses, hidden in plain site. On the same day, she collected the first stone for the Scholar Stones Project.
Scholar stones (also known as gongshi) are naturally weathered rocks that often act as the focal point of a traditional Chinese garden. Initially defined by the Tang dynasty as an object that encouraged contemplation, Popova’s scholar stones are taken from the sites of decommissioned Magnox power reactors around the UK to make tangible the very real impact that nuclear energy production has on the ground under our feet.The collection of stones – which Popova curated after visiting seven different reactors – now stands at the centre of the Holden on a black floor that mimics the geometric design of the early reactor’s graphite core. Laser-cut from recycled material from previous exhibitions, the thin spread of circles and squares stands in direct contrast to the core that will still be making its mark on the environment until the end of this century.
Two tapestries rise off the centre of the back wall. Positioned where there had once been a large tapestry by Edward Burne-Jones, Keepsake I and II appear initially as a pleasing kaleidoscope of geometric shapes and bright colours. On closer inspection it becomes evident that the lower half of each tapestry contains the repeating pattern of the granite core, while the top half is an imposing building. Popova’s scholar stones congregate before the tapestries, paying their respects to the fearsome reactors entombed beneath triangular architecture evocative of the pyramids or Lenin’s mausoleum

THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH. ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED

In light of the terrible state of the world I have been trying to give my friends a smile a day on Facebook. Thought I would share with you. Hope you are all safe & keeping to yourselves & social distancing as much as possible. We are very lucky to live in a tech world where we can keep in touch with family & friends at will!!!!!!

King’s Day Dutch: Koningsdag, is the National holiday celebrated with joyful open air festivities on the King’s Willem- Alexander birthday, held each year in April in the Netherlands. Queensday Amsterdam Amsterdam celebrations are the biggest and the most attractive. More than million people arrive to the city to celebrate this day. Since 1885, while the Netherlands had through generations only female monarchs, this has been the national holiday called Queensday. However in 2013, Queen Beatrix son Crown-Prince Willem-Alexander has been enthroned as the King of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, while the Queen abdicated and became Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands. Since then, the Queensday has become the King’s Day. King’s Day is celebrated each year on April 27th, the birthday of the King Willem-Alexander, but when the King’s birthday falls on Sunday, celebrations are moved to Saturday. Street carnival, dancing and singing combined with the open air free market, selling and buying of all kinds of small objects by almost all Amsterdam citizens. Traditionally the reigning monarch portraits are on display and streets are decorated with national Dutch flags and the color of orange, the traditional color of the monarchy and the symbol of Dutch patriotism. Many any people dress up as the King or wear the King’s insignia, while almost all try to have an orange accent in their clothing. This is also the day to eat in the streets exotic food Indonesian, Surinamese, Moroccan or Turkish and drink beer or orange juice. A glass of Heineken or Amstel sold in the street will be between €1.50 and €2.50. The Dutch, traditionally the nation of sailors and merchants, celebrate their most important national holiday with selling and buying of small unnecessary objects from their households. The prices are mostly symbolic. Starting as early as 7 A.M., the whole city center becomes a street market. Most of people are selling their stuff directly in front of their house. Fun is the most important here - do not expect to buy anything of value. The tradition is to negotiate about the price and it happens, especially when children are trading, that buyer raises the price to show the playful character of this festive business.
The old area of the Jordaan, traditionally poor district of the city but now trendy Amsterdam area, becomes on the King’s Day most crowded free market area. Many folk singers are performing popular Amsterdam songs directly in the streets. This couple likes to view the festive boat parade from their window.
Dit jaar vieren we voor de eerste keer Koningsdag. De nationale feestdag is officieel verplaatst naar 27 april en omdat dat dit jaar een zondag is, vieren we de allereerste Koningsdag op 26 april. Op Koningsdag voorheen Koninginnedag kleurt Amsterdam oranje! Veel mensen dragen oranje kleding en de straten en grachten kleuren dan ook helemaal oranje. Op straat, op de grachten en in de parken worden de leukste openluchtfestiviteiten geboden voor jong en oud. Amsterdam kleurt, net als de rest van Nederland, elk jaar op Koningsdag oranje. Op de uitbundigste feestdag van het jaar viert iedereen feest en zet daarmee de koninklijke familie in het zonnetje. Tijdens Koningsdag is het op de grachten van Amsterdam erg gezellig, maar ook erg druk. Met de vele liveoptredens en dj's tijdens Koningsnacht en het enorme aantal evenementen, vrijmarkten en kinderactiviteiten op Koningsdag hoeft niemand zich te vervelen tijdens het grootste straatfeest van het jaar. Zoals het een ware handelsstad betaamt, is Amsterdam de plek bij uitstek om te handelen en te onderhandelen. De vrijmarkt is een uitgelezen kans voor alle Amsterdammers om hun tweedehands spullen op straat of in het park te verkopen en is hiermee een van de grootste vlooienmarkten ter wereld. Ook op de Amsterdamse grachten is het op Koningsdag een groot oranje feest. Duizenden versierde boten varen over de grachten en zorgen vaak voor een gezellig oponthoud. Op een boot Koningsdag vieren is natuurlijk het allerleukst, maar vanaf de kant en de bruggen deel je net zo goed in de feestvreugde. De Prinsengracht raakt overvol met boten. De dansmuziek weergalmt van de boten af. Er wordt op elke boot lekker gedanst en sommige gaan helemaal los. Wat een feest toch, één groot gekkenhuis!! Voor grote straatfeesten zijn de Jordaan, de Wallen, de Nieuwmarkt en de grote pleinen de beste plek. Bewoners en cafés hebben muziek en drank op straat en u loopt van het ene straatfeest naar het volgende.
