Day 11: Monday

My wife went to the supermarket good and early, and came home home with plenty of fruit, vegetables, even beer, and another bag of flour to make bread. A small victory, but a real confidence boost. Panic buying was never necessary; the system is working. Oh, and the loaf I made using pastry flour has turned out quite well, but I'll be glad to save it for pastries.  Today we ate leftovers mostly. This resulted in part from nobody making a plan to cook, but also from making generous portions during the past week.

I am looking for a TED talk for the Sunday Assembly. This evening I've already found one that I think will do very well -- going to keep it a secret for a while -- and others that are interesting in themselves. My discussion group has four RSVP already, so I cannot doubt that people want some kind of contact.

One of the talks I found bore the title "You are not alone in your loneliness." How better to describe the present situation?

From the news, one little thing truly annoys me.  We know the number of cases for Italy, Spain, France, the UK, and ... Africa. Excuse me, there are dozens of countries in Africa. Most of them probably haven't got a public health system worthy of the name. So what the bleep does that number tell us?
