It was laying under a tree in the front yard where I've spent quite a bit of time weeding in the past sixteen years. <br />As long as you're being as safe as possible, I guess going to the store every few days is all right.

That's my opinion but then again, I do always put on a bra-like garment when I am going to go to town and be in places where strangers are apt to be found and that makes no sense. I just haven't been able to let myself do the grocery pick-up thing yet. It makes a lot of sense, though.

But then again, I don't have huge breasts. And of course the bras have to have a hook closure. I need to give my bras a ceremonial cremation.

I think the newer way to use it, as John does, is like saying "chin up," right? My mother used to say that to me- chin up- when I was sometimes at my very worst. I used to hate that. <br />I think I'm going to start using "keep your pecker up" but I'll not be meaning nose. <br />I love Britspeak.

Bloody hell, that's still six weeks away and I'm tired now. <br /><br />I was talking to a young friend the other day, she's had one bit of bad news after another for the past year. I said to her that's the hard part of being an adult, knowing that bad things will happen for no reason and you just have to find a way to live with it. Time to take my own advice and pull my head out of my ass.<br /><br />I'm glad you two are staying safe. I was reading about the US and how much worse the south will be affected. It's scary.

Living in a more northerly clime, I doubt that anybody in The British Isles has ever said, "You're letting the cold air out!" but many have said "You're letting the warm air out!"

I hate those things but if I go out in public (not much these days) I need to wear one. <br /><br />I would say the pretty glassware you found is (a) a cloche (b) a stemware glass - if the top is broken on the outside or (c) a bell - if the top is broken on the inside where the ringer would have been attached.<br /><br />They keep saying they may start recommending that we all wear some form of non professional mask/scarf when we go out. Obviously saving the medical grade ones for the healthcare workers. I'm thinking I may start making some washable cloth masks.

I get professional-dressed, at least from the waist up, because my days have been incessant Zoom meetings with faculty and other administrators. But I have worn the same pair of leggings for three weeks. And only my house-bra, and a sports bra to run in. (Ok, to be fair, i have to upholster myself with multiple sports bras to run in). And we've resorted to having our groceries delivered, and when Rob goes to the store, I make him wear a mask.

I think I mentioned this already, but I am very much liking getting all of my groceries with the pick up option. No aisle wondering for me. I did not put a bra on much the first week or two of this staying at home, but it is getting warmer now in MN and I can't just toss on a sweatshirt to take the dog for a walk. So for the sake of my neighbors I've been suffering through.

Just some useless little sort of camisole thing that keeps my boobs off my chest skin, which I cannot tolerate. Sadly, there's a lot of them to keep off, but I've managed. Rummaging around the other day, I found my bras. (Too much spare time!) With underwires and everything. Put one on this morning. Mizerable as hell, but it involves taking off too many clothes to shed the bra. At bedtime, they go into the Goodwill bag.
