Meticulous or laidback lockdown?

There will be a time when we will be able to look in the rear-view mirror and reflect on COVID-19. However, life is here and now, and we are still fighting every day. I do not know why, but I recall the Swine flu so much. Maybe that is why I am so careful. Schools are soon starting again, and the usual autumn viruses will, in addition to the Corona virus, cause various symptoms of a cold. So, keep distance and wash your hands!

I do not what to say about the news. My concern is about how they are presented. People have died in COVID-19, but they should have died anyway. It doesn’t feel right to put it that way. In Brazil, they put crosses on a beach to symbolise all lives gone due to the disease. The Swedish epidemiologist Anders Tegnell has done a great job to stay in the media every day. We need somebody who can just be there. It is like he is a military commander in a battle that took place in the 17th century. And he does it well! Moreover, it is interesting to note that it appears to be other harmful viruses than the Corona virus leading to hospital stays. True or false news?

There are a lot of discussions about lock-downs. The EU 🇪🇺 has put together an enormous “save the economy” deal. Due to a more laidback lockdown, Sweden’s Minister of Finance has reduced the economical crisis.

Most important is that you take care of yourself. Then you can help others. I have returned to some training. Spinning instead of running. And I am looking forward to this weekend filled with exercise. I was going to participate in “Tjejmilen” this year but it is cancelled. Sharing a picture form last year.

 

Weekend training

Summer is perfect now. Sunny and warm. Is it true that it is going to be like this for two weeks? I had to push myself a little to go for exercise today. When I started, I remembered that it is nice to go for exercise when it is a good temperature. You don’t have to do so much warming up before work out. I am now focusing on spinning. People are careful with regard to the Corona virus, and that makes me feel safe. It is very much about to stay home if you don’t feel well.

Life is undoubtedly more on the internet, and I have some training that I can do on line. Very good. Since it is Saturday I made my own candy. Mini bars. With chocolate this time. Shouldn’t, but life is better with chocolate. Or what is your opinion?

 

Work and leisure

As I wrote, I have been dedicated to work, more than usually, because I think it is serious with the Corona virus. It is even more important now to stay professional to help as much as possible. But you also need to relax so it was very nice to see sweetie and cutie last weekend. I would like to go running, but I am more into walking. I have had my bicycle to service. There was a time when I always went bicycling, but I was hit by a car, and after that I felt lucky that I wasn’t injured. Bicycles are also attractive for thefts. But what can you do?

The international arena has been rather calm, but a bomb exploded recently in Beirut. The Corona virus has hampered some conflicts in the world but it is now a catastrophe in Lebanon. President Macron is already there. Let’s continue to keep a good spirit. To stay calm and day by day get closer to a clinically available vaccin.

 

Raspberries & blueberries

We are in the beginning of August. Still social distancing and hand washing. I also sometimes use a medical face mask. I know it doesn’t protect 100%, but it is a reminder of distancing. It is a strange time era, but I am impressed that we have been able to adjust to the situation. I have been very devoted and also focused on work since I have been reminded of the time when I worked during the Swine flu. At that time we had Tamiflu®. Now we can only trust dedicated and skilled medical doctors with hands on knowledge.

This is serious. But I also understand that people want to relax. It is summertime and vacations. Since I am moving, it felt good to return to the home were I grew up this weekend. Sweetie (Lady) and Cutie (Molly) were in perfect shape. Molly keeps Lady busy which makes her very sporty. We went for a walk and they found blueberries.

Sunday recovery

I miss sweetie and cutie. I went for a long walk today but no dogs. I know that they have a good time in the countryside – eating fresh blueberries in the forest. I made a nice lunch with pasta, fish and sallad after walking. Still reading about healthy food. To change some shopping habits. More ecological food. But ecological baking powder, is that possible?

Little life. No travelling. Only walks. Home made food. Delicious food. Fresh fruit. Vitamins. Swedish tomatoes. Mediterranean life in Scandinavia. The Swedish vegetables being harvested, filled with so much energy. More walks. Recovery. Muscle pain. Stretch. Music. Life goes on.

Corona summer.
