I think we will leave this experience with a much greater appreciation for the day-to-day activities that we had come to take for granted!

I did catch part of a good documentary on the American History channel on the 1918 flu, must try to watch the whole thing.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15720030744345215307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155086611992337391.post-4360414387337272962020-03-24T13:43:47.537-04:002020-03-24T13:43:47.537-04:00My late father rarely got sick. The only illness I...My late father rarely got sick. The only illness I remember him having was Scarlet Fever, when it blew through our entire family in 1957. That said, we would all get whatever flu was floating around over the years and my dear old dad would soldier on working, fit as a fiddle. He always used to say he had such a strong immunity because his mother was pregnant with him through 1918 and gave him antibodies. None of his family was ill. They worked outdoors and on the steam boats, ran a hotel for loggers and other transients!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08592184037513559644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155086611992337391.post-4001382573074642302020-03-24T13:35:37.534-04:002020-03-24T13:35:37.534-04:00Hey Jenn, sounds like gramma camp is going well.

This travel ends at midnight Friday.Lots of students from Universities going home for the next 4 weeks at least, maybe longer. We are advised to not go out, keep in our " Own Bubble" ,no visitors, friends are doing shopping, I can see a lot of Mums doing home schooling for weeks, and juggling work from home will be frazzled. Stay safe up North. Hugs to you all.XXXXNancy Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854698513524662527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155086611992337391.post-23225476506402010712020-03-24T12:46:11.851-04:002020-03-24T12:46:11.851-04:00The kids will keep you two busy and occupied for t...The kids will keep you two busy and occupied for the next long while.

Our BBC has pulled itself together to help with all our schools being shut (except for 'key workers kids') and is running educational programs such as I would even be familiar with. I haven't checked, but I am guessing Australias 'school of the air' will be expanding is coverage for a while...

I paid with a touchless tap and left without touching anything but the bag. And the door handle, I guess, but I was wearing gloves.Anvilcloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974744042579564912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155086611992337391.post-71965874563541110062020-03-24T07:42:03.510-04:002020-03-24T07:42:03.510-04:00My recent surprise discovery about the Spanish Flu...My recent surprise discovery about the Spanish Flu was that it began in the USA.
