Day 2 19 March 2020

Day 2
19 March 2020

Cooked breakfast.

I am certainly looking forward to this enforced partial lock down.  It 'forced' me to do nothing, and everything I have put off doing for years.  Things I loved doing.  Like my new found interest and joy in cooking.

After breakfast I settled down to manufacturing orange peel enzyme cleaner.  With added sera, it gives a pleasant fragance.

Tidy up around the house,  Rearrange stuff in cupboard. Re-pot plants.  Move pots around.  Change pots.  Growing balcony garden for Teddybear's studio.

I determine to write a story or essay a day.  Yesterday, before lock down, I received a call from an officer who just came from a council to review my new publication.  The officers are of the opinion that I should produce a coffee table book.  So I shall get back to work on my drafts.

Rearranged stuff and spaces in my studio.  Brought out my treasure box of lovely hues of threads, setting up all the necessary paraphernalia to start Sulam.  Just thought that I should send my daughter a frame, manek and pattern to bead a little purse for herself when she is on rotation to stay home from clinic.

Over in Borneo, my little girl writes:

Door gills open, birdsong and a bowl of sunshine for breakfast. And bible study.  Good girl!

"I've been locked in this black hold of Korean and Chinese romantic dramas."

"I don't even know who I am anymore.  I have not watched an English series in two weeks!!!"

I shall not be sucked in. I shall resist temptation and flee from Korean dramas . . .  but then,  . .  I am now tempted of sneak a peek.

Head of house assigned to leave house to get supplies.  Teddybear went out to hunt for food.  We need rice, flour, eggs.

Where's the food!!!???!!

Seen the afternoon paddling Sulam on my trusty sewing machine. Fitting a phoenix into a 2 x 5 cm lozenge.




Teddybear says he could not purchase at the pharmacies.  All sold out and no stocks.  He cannot go out anymore.  He brought out a stack of handkerchief and tried tying them on.  But he ended up looking like a bandit.

So I figured out how to improvise a face mask with what we have at hand.
Sorry in the time of Covid-19, pink ribbons are all I have in the drawer.

Feeling very happy.  Its been a fruitful day and I worked hard.
