"Look, Dad! The birds have come!"... I went to see Lars last night around seven...
COVID-19 Diary: Caring for the Birds
COVID-19: Tuppence A Bag
I don't always wake up with a song in my head, but today I did and it was, "Feed the birds, tuppence a bag." And so I got out of bed, got dressed, and went to find Lars and leave some granola bars for him.
COVID-19: Week 2: What do you mean, Why?
...And nobody puked. ...I spent nearly 8 hours alone in our hall bathroom... I read a 500 page book!
It’s an area we call… the Twilight Zone
Gloves on, I push my cart past the security guard, past the bleaching station and toward the sliding doors. The normal whoosh as the doors part before me is the last normal sound I hear.
