Why Lazy Days Aren’t Time Wasted, But Are Needed Resetting Times

I live in Australia, and the big thing on my TV screen at the moment is the Ashes series of cricket, a game between England and Australia. So I’m sitting on the sofa, TV on, with the cricket happening as I do other things on my laptop computer.

There was a task I had to do earlier this morning, watering the bonsai trees, vegetables, and roses. Tick, task completed. Now, it’s that time between breakfast and lunch, after brunch time, if I was having it, which I’m not, but I’m not really bothered by my hunger enough to actually go into the kitchen to get anything for lunch yet.

A coffee might be nice, but, meh, I have water next to me, and that’s enough for now … Social Media has been getting hotted up by the Australian Prime Minister attending the cricket yesterday I think it was, could have been the day before … Holiday time mixed with Covid time means the days have all run together.

I know today is Sunday, but really, it could just as easily be any other day, and it would be more or less the same. People will be catching Covid, or having caught it, be in quarantine, perhaps watching the cricket too.

Mask up, stay home, wash your hands often. Covid complacency is rising, and as a consequence, in part, the numbers of people affected is rising, and I fear will bring ever increasing numbers of people dying from Covid. And our Prime Minister went to the cricket.
