Back to book reading during the virus crisis

Think how life would be if the internet crashed.

What would you do?

We all, most of us, have a craving for information and intellectual stimulation,entertainment,instruction.

Many access all this from the internet.

Books have been out of fashion for a while.

Some modern homes you will hardly find any.

An occasional cook book perhaps.

Thankfully many kids still have story books read to them and they can bring them home from their school library.

I have started reading hard copy again because I have a huge eclectic home library.

In the rest of my lifetime I will not have the time to read them all.

I am currently reading "The Call of the Wild" by Jack London.

Maybe one should get some of your titles out of the attic or wherever you have them stored.

Make a decision that when the virus crisis has passed to start building up a home library of tangible, touchable resources.

Since I first  wrote this, here are some others I have been reading.
 "White Fang" by Jack London
"Journey to the Centre of the Earth" by Jules Verne
Ernest Hemingway's short stories.
"The Jungle Books" by Rudyard Kipling

Birds and the Bees in times of Pandemic.

In this time of social isolation because of the Pandemic, if we are photographers and have a garden, there are things to encourage us.
We can still practise photography in our backyard.
I took these pics in our front garden a short while ago.
Bees in Daisies.
Bees around the world have been under threat from viruses but that does not stop them continuing their daily lives.
Perhaps they innately know how to trust their creator.
Something we have trouble with when we are under threat.
Notwithstanding we have a role in protecting nature and should also take notice of  what the Medical people and Governments are telling us.
Stay isolated and stay well everyone.

Likewise the birds know who is looking after them.

The Apostle Birds are still meeting in groups of 12 or more.

These Galahs are not isolating either.

Hunkering Down-Social Isolation-Coronavirus

The world is in the grip of Coronavirus Pandemic.

We are required to socially isolate.

Not go out.

There is nothing like an old fashioned eclectic library in which to do this.

Staying Focussed

The Virus Crisis

Almost every blog, every youtube Channel and every News Broadcast seems to be talking about the Coronavirus Pandemic.

With good reason.

It is a very challenging time.

Many people are living in fear which is being bolstered by the bombardment by the media.

It is causing many to reflect on life and consider their place in the universe.

Some are fearful it is a precursor to the end of the world.

Thankfully there are many fine people working on solutions and also the treatment of those affected.

As a Christian I think it is a good time to consider God, consider Jesus, consider Faith, consider the message of Easter that is fast approaching.

Below is a link to one of my Easter messages from the past.
