HAPPY PLACE

I have a secret. 😬🤐
I am the sort of person (these days) who likes to walk on her own and touch the trees and thank them for being so wonderful and take off her shoes at the end of the lane just to stand… https://t.co/kzPivgFVVP

FOURTEEN

It was a troublesome time for a passionate soul. People say I am an over-thinker, over-feeler now... 😂😂😂
Teenage me was so passionate about human rights, so positive about the possibilities for change. I am… https://t.co/p82RP90ca2

@MarcusRashford Thank you for using your influence for such good. I feel genuinely tearful with happiness & awe. We did this at Christmas for our local school children who would normally receive school meals. The impact may have only been for a few but for them it was huge. This is just epic.

@JeromeFlynn You're a beautiful soul. ♥️

I have no words.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Horrifying. You start with the tiny possibility that two officers may be walking over to deescalate the abusive one.

Instead, they join in beating a man trying to get out of traffic.

This isn’t a problem of bad apples or incidents. This is an institutional and systemic crisis.

UNDERSTAND

I have been trying to word this and struggling. But in heated debate with so many (not on social media) about standing.
I do NOT understand and in accepting this, I see that I can only try to educate… https://t.co/sUKCq2Dzld

HONESTLY

Honestly, these few weeks in lockdown have been tough. I want to hold my hands up to the sky and shout, "What is wrong with me?!" about ten times a day.

I have moaned and groaned and winged and shouted. I… https://t.co/0KX0aow7Eo

111 fatalities reported vs 121, 160, 210, 288, 338, 559, 744 on previous Mondays. The lowest figure since lockdown began.

1570 new cases, the lowest number since the end of March.

Hospital admissions continue to fall.

Everything is going in the right direction.

As the George Floyd riots continue, let's be clear where the violence is coming from https://t.co/pk4hZTdStc

LOGIC HAS NO PLACE

Lockdown holds no room for logic when you fall deep into the crevasse that is lockdown gloom.
Logic is a far away luxury when your mind find ways to pull on the chords that that hide away from… https://t.co/QxzyxlTUpM

CHIHUAHUAS

People call them lap dogs. This one is more of a boob dog!
When he sits on my knee he gets squashed between me and the table and I get back ache. So he found a better spot!

The virus is being tamed more successfully than many thought possible. How?

We have more cellular immunity (T cells) than estimated.

Lots of recovered people simply don’t have antibodies, but also many have residual immunity from old viruses (colds etc).

This is significant.

[Kate Bowers @KayBowers16]

BE KIND

I think what gets me depressed more than lockdown itself its people on social media (she says, typing away on social media 🙄)

It's the lack of compassion and need to control that really makes me want to… https://t.co/P5k65tflBh
