Great story about the fire, Cate. Glad you were able to get it under control, it sounds like a good workout.
The walks are a great thing. Twice a day even better!

I'm glad we were able to get it out too. I was not happy with G. He should never have walked away from it.
I love Silkies. Ours was such a sweetie.
I'm petrified of fire, Petal & was very crabby at G for not watching it carefully. I'm so glad that we are home safely tucked up too. Our friends who we were going to be sharing the house with just drove all afternoon & all night, non-stop to get back to catch the last ship back to Tassie before the 2-week hotel quarantine is imposed. We both worried about them during the night until we heard that they made it. They will still have to self-isolate at their home.
It was a workout I would rather do without, Jack.
I love my walks. I have been doing lots of raking lately & that tires me out too much. I won't do any today.
We are about to go play 9-holes of golf. We most probably will be the only ones on the course.

Wow I did not know this was a thing! I think getting a dog is a great idea, especially now when things seem a bit dreary.

Hi, Amy. Fires are scary to me. I would not stay & defend our house. It would be terrifying. I'm enjoying my walks a lot & will keep them up. I am also going out & playing 9 holes of golf with G. We play on our own & only with no more than 10 people on the whole course.
Hi, Misty. I think getting a dog would be great medicine.
G & I went out and played nine holes & I played reasonably well. I beat him by 2 Stableford points.
People are doing the right thing & staying well apart. 2 guys arrived just as we were about to hit off & asked how many people we thought were out there. With the number of cars there already we figured we would make up the maximum of 10 allowed on the course, so they said they would go have a coffee & come back. It's good to see them doing the right thing.
It's raining hard now. It's lovely!

I think most people here are getting it now, but it sure has taken them a while.
Here it's only walks when the weather isn't very nice. Yesterday was a glorious spring day and people were standing on the corner of the street chatting everywhere, making it impossible to pass at a safe distance. I want to be outside in nice weather too, but we have to be sensible right now...
Unhappily, yes. And there's an idea that it's a bit cutely naughty to be doing such things - one friend said "Oh, but you can just nick out for a walk - who would know?"

Ugh I had reply typed and I lost it . I was trying to post a link to the Washington post . Read how the spread happened in South Korea . In particular how patient 31 attended church and that over 5000 people ended up being identified from that church gathering . It's interesting.
Cate people are idiots but we can all only do our own bits . Good your golfing community are careful . LaMa yeah walking in not so good weather will be what you may do. Even our rural roads are busier now. I see people pass by I have never set eyes on before.

It´s not stupidity, it´s selfishness. Nobody can claim not to KNOW we ought to stay inside to protect others at this point.

No doubt about that, Cate. I don't take enough care with leaving the coffee maker on, and my wife is always after me about it. I don't know why we can't find one that turns itself off. I'll have to check on that again.
On the social distancing, it was a relief to me that my Mom finally got it shortly after the St. Patricks day party, as well as the rest of the family. My warnings fell on deaf ears, but apparently when the Governor declared a state of emergency, that did the trick.
What a nice thing to get out and play golf instead of just walking.

They should be, fires are dangerous and wildfires can be unpredictable. In my youth I spent a few summers fighting fire for the US Forest Service, learned enough to respect them.
I agree some are, but not all. LaMa said "It´s not stupidity, it´s selfishness" and I agree that is some of it. I find some people here just don't believe the threat of getting the virus is that serious, no worse than a bad cold or the flu. They consider all the disruption silly. I really think that is what our president believes. I can kind of understand that thinking, but since we don't really know yet I believe the right thing to do is stick with the cautions. As more testing becomes available and outcomes more predictable we will know more, best not to risk the lives of millions right now. I am distancing and washing my hands, a lot.
Here is an article about something stupid that happened here, Petal your church story made me think of it. Utah health officials issue stern rebuke after hundreds greet LDS missionaries at airport in defiance of coronavirus warnings . It takes a lot for the state health department to be critical of anything the Church does.

Hello, my forum friends. You know, I think I'll have a day off C19.
Good news regarding our cancelled trip. We have been repaid our accommodation costs from our friends & another couple who stayed instead of us. They got their money back for their cancelled accom & will refund us today.
I'm fasting today as I know I need to get back on track & get ready for my April attack. I'll call it Campaign Cate!
I think it will be-
5:2- doing two 500 cal fasts per week & about 1600 cals the other 5 days & minimising my eating window as much as I can.
20 squats a day.
5000 steps per day, including 2 walks.
I'll edit this later.........
