Tuesday 21st April 2020 – Day Twenty Nine
Good morning – hope that you are having a good day so far! Thank you to everyone who assured me, when I admitted yesterday that I was not going crazy talking to myself. Here are a few of your comments:
In this confinement, it’s normal to talk to the plants. When they are replying, that’s when you need to see me. (A psychiatrist talking). I’m lucky I have my cat to talk to and she doesn’t argue back, unless she thinks it’s meal time and where it is and I’m a bit slow in getting it.
Of course I talk to myself… sometimes I need expert advice.
What can I share with you today? – HEALTH
From Theresa: Boots Chief Pharmacist Marc Donovan answers questions about coronavirus.
From Chris T: “Best explanation I’ve seen of Covid’s impact on people”
From Mary Ward Centre: Emma has done a number of line dancing videos, she made them at home so stresses that they are not slick and very DIY. They are password protected as Vimeo would not allow her to share public videos due to copyright issues around the music she plays in them, but is happy for them to be shared if students find them helpful. If you would like the password, please email me and I will forward it to you.
