what tourism?

Sepia Saturday this week shows a lovely postcard.

Tourists were enjoying the seaside, various venues to enjoy their time away from their regular lives.

These days, nobody in my county is allowed out of their homes unless going for provisions or medicine, or maybe for a walk by themselves. It's not really being enforced but it sure cuts into tourism.

May we all have healing after the "social isolation" is over, and may we remember that our mother earth is needing care!

Here's an interesting article from "The Atlantic" about what the future may hold.

Rainy day is good for laundry

In two hours I've finished the wash and dry, and folded everything. Then packed them into that little green and purple cart that stands to the far right where my dirties were being washed in 2 loads nearby. I covered the cart with the clean stuff so the rain wouldn't get them wet again!

I use a public laundromat, and since retirement gives me my own time, I just read a book or do solitaire while waiting. This Black Mountain Laundry keeps itself very clean, and I try to go mornings during the week when few college students or moms with kids are there. Just precautions because I'm susceptible to catching various breathing problems, not to mention, I often have some coughing fits myself and get looks. This week I did my waiting for loads to finish in the car right outside the windows, so could see the machines and not share any germs. With the Corvid-19 virus on the news every night, I'm being extra careful.

Then I met a friend for lunch at Pepperoni's Pizza right next door, where my mushroom pizza and salad hit the right spot for all the work I'd just done. Lifting the cart up out of car and then pulling it over my 5 steps into my apartment were the work that might have burned a few calories!
