My swan is personal and the hummingbird is because I love the wee souls. As I said I have no problem covering them up, and in the winter they are covered by my sweater anyway. Only time I have them on show is as the swimming pool.

I wish people would be as tolerant about the people who refuse to have the vaccine Lion Queen....

I was watching some muslims celebrate 'Eid Mubarak' (I think it was) on the lunchtime news. They were praying together and then socialising and eating together, and I was envious of their community spirit. That used to be us once upon a time, and now we keep ourselves to ourselves and rarely interact with our neighbours....

Only if it’s hidden Swimmy

Well, as long as it’s not the neighbours wife, you should be good 🦊

The Covid vaccine is a response to an immediate and particular crisis. What happens later is something that will be dealt with if and when necessary. all your what-ifs sound a bit like empty excuses. I'm sure you take precautions not to get run over by the number 9 bus, don't you. I mean if you saw it coming, you would surely make sure you weren't in its path.

I'm just playing Devil's advocate, Foxy; I don't have an issue with your decision.

Find my tattoo.

That was a general invitation, Minx, before you remind me that you are not the one for me.

Thank you OGF. It’s the best decision we ever made.
From everything I’ve read that you’ve ever written, you sound like a well adjusted person who loves life. You are very active and enjoy many outdoor activities. Don’t you wave or nod to other joggers, walkers, bikers etc. That’s a form of socializing. It isn’t as intimate as you might prefer but it can be a lot of fun.

When we go out boating we wave at other boaters going by.
We view it as a social activity. It’s just not as intimate which is ok. You just have to find your new norm and be ok with it.
Things ARE getting better. This was a HUGE wake up call to the entire world to wake up and enjoy every single moment cause life is precious. Suddenly life’s simplest pleasures are precious.
They always were. I think we got spoiled by technology and began thinking we were invincible.

You aren’t too bad off. We both have lots to be grateful for and I bet those church Christmas’s are going to get more pleasurable which is awesome.

My attitude is very similar to yours. Except for moving and my husband retiring, our lifestyle didn’t change much due to Covid so we weren’t as affected as most. Then again, most of what we do didn’t require the need for others and still doesn’t.

Like yourself, I’m ok to meet my maker. I’m not afraid of death.
I’m afraid of wasting a life worrying about all the what if’s….

Soak it all up Mr. Fox! Why change now. You’ve got this.
