Arya's Heart

Let's take a break today from lockdowns and Covid-19.  Let's just hang out here, drink coffee and eat chocolate.  Let's enjoy the smell of spring here in SL.  Imagine what the bougainvillea would smell like.  So sweet.

This is a Covid-19 announcement:  When you need to cough, do it into the crook of your arm and not into your hands.  Also wash your hands regularly and STAY AT HOME!

Tomorrow is Day 14 of my lockdown.  The Māori people use the word 'rāhui' which means to restrict or prohibit.  At present we are at home and are only allowed out to get groceries, seek medical help or supplies and for exercise in our neighbourhood.  I am working from home.  I am only allowed to have contact with the people in my 'bubble'.  They are the people in my house.  That is it.  I am doing okay and settling into this new normal.  I feel safe and I am sticking to the rules.

I hope you are okay and sticking to the rules too.  Stay at home and save lives!

And do NOT cough on people.  That is gross and extremely dangerous.

Hey!  Step back out of my space!  2 metres distance please.  I do not want you sharing my space or any germs you may be carrying. 

I am standing in here keeping my physical distance from people and I am quite happy.  The sun is shining, the birds are singing.  Just keep back or I will go all ninja on you!

I can't believe it is almost Easter. In all the chaos of being in lockdown and working from home, I kinda forgot.  I did remember in my weekly shop though because I bought some Easter eggs when I saw them at the end of the aisle.

And, of course, SL hasn't forgotten as you can see here from these fab items.  These are making me so happy.  Easter is here.

Hanging out in Garrigua today and found a place to stand and take in the vista.  There is no one around.  Is like real life at the moment.  Quiet.  Maybe too quiet.

How are you all doing out there in isolation or quarantine land?  I am approaching Day 8 and today was supermarket day.  It is both scary and exhilarating at the same time.  But it is done and we are stocked up for the next week.

I am in isolation.  I am fine and I am just chilling with my family.  It seems the perfect time to be in SL to be honest, but I have been sorting out so many things for home living as well as catching up on some reading that I am finding it tricky to get inworld.

But here I am and I have some cute items to show you today.

I hope you are all staying safe and well.  I am staying home to save lives.  I hope you are too. Today is Day 4 of our lockdown and I am okay.  Baking and working from home.

Actually there are two ducks.  Their names are Mr Duckerson and Ms Duckworth.  I am hoping they will have some little ducklings.  Not right now though cos ewwww.  This is not that kind of blog thank you very much.

How are you all doing out there in isolation land?  I hope you are all safe and well.  I am staying home to keep others safe and well too.  I like to think of myself as a hero.

But not like the nurses, doctors, ambulance staff and all those supermarket workers and frontline workers.  THEY are the heroes.

Happy here in my isolation bubble.  Our whole country is in lockdown.  We are all at home with the people in our immediate bubble.  There will be no visitors, no going out to cafes and restaurants because they are all closed anyway, and no going into anyone else's bubble.  Hopefully, if all of Aryland is sensible we will only have to be like this for 4 weeks, but if people break the rules then it will be longer.  It is a good way to sort out the sensible from the idiots.

I wish my bubble looked like this one.  I could have coffee and a picnic before settling in for a nap on top of the rock in the sun.  I could also watch the deer. 

Actually, I can watch deer and white tahr from my place but not this close that is for sure.

I hope that all of you who are in their own bubbles are safe and keeping sane.

Let's kick Covid-19's butt!

I am sorry for the slackness in posting.  I am still adjusting to life in lockdown and have been sorting out my working from home area etc.

However, here I am and ready for some social time in SL as I am not getting a lot of that in RL.

Today I am rocking some denim and enoying some sunshine here in Garrigua.  Great place to hang out.

So, Aryland has joined the number of countries that will have its people in isolation by midnight Wednesday (Aryland time).  How did I prepare today?

Well, I had to finish work and say goodbye to everyone.  Pretty emotional to be honest.  Then I came home and set up my new workspace.  Sat in there for a while answering emails and sorting out some work stuffs.

Then I had lunch, made myself a coffee and have settled down for a break on SL.

It struck me that often people say that SL is anti-social and that RL contact is much better.  Oh how the tide has turned.  SL is now my social place!

Anyway, in SL I found a nice people-free place to take this pic.  I hope the people don't mind me tap dancing on their roof.
