What a great idea from Sandra to have this website BLOG!!

Coronavirus has brought the world to a standstill.   All the shops, bars, clubs, schools, museums and restaurants are closed; deserted streets everywhere.  Whether you’re working from home, or simply taking a back row with your hobbies and social activities, you’ll be spending a lot more time indoors for the next few weeks.

Let’s face it, half the books on your shelves have never been read.  Kept aside for a rainy day, perhaps.  Well, that rainy day has well and truly arrived!  It’s the perfect time to get down to discovering just what you have without even leaving your sofa.  I decided to “re-kindle” my Kindle after several months – I had soooo many books downloaded from last year so I’m enjoying reading again – the trouble is that when I start reading, I can’t put the book down until its finished.

Having a good clear-out or spring cleaning could also be a good opportunity – but I haven’t got around to that yet 🙂

I have had a few offers from some people offering to get shopping or helping out if necessary – on the one hand its really wonderful to know that others care but it brings it home that I’m in the “older age group” now.  But I can still pop out to the supermarket which is just five minutes away.

Anyway, what I would like to inform you all about is that our Vice Chairman, Catherine Roth had this brilliant idea to have a “Skype Pilates” session with us.  So this morning four of us logged on to Skype and Catherine took the class with us online.  It was great.  I belong to the group of folk that need to be pushed into doing some kind of fitness – I don’t seem to be disciplined enough to do anything on my own, or if I do, it would only be for five minutes!!

She will do a class for us (the BWC ladies) in the morning at 10:30 and one in the evening at 18:30. She will put out a Round Robin for everyone to think about whether or not they would like to join in.

Do think about joining in…

Keep well and safe ladies.

Love

Pat
