(Also Chanukah, Hanuka, etc... Rosh Hashannah or Rosh Hashana, etc...) <br />I'm also fine with being alone as I have social media and the TV. DD isn't so self sufficient. Even though she plays video games on her phone with friends and talks on the phone, she needs the physical interaction. We did meet two of her friends in the park the other day and ordered pizza which she enjoyed very much. <br />I wish your friend better and I hope you'll be able to spend a t least part of Monday with her for Thanksgiving. <br />Lots of love, take care and be safe. xxxRachel Selbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13113411205306116614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-692517788030253147.post-67990151289868391682020-10-11T00:15:42.123+03:002020-10-11T00:15:42.123+03:00I too managed to see it.

I have a large window in my kitchen that faces south-west so decided to have a look - it was very bright.<br />Hope that you are both managing with your latest lockdown. We had an announcement yesterday afternoon so as of midnight no more entertainment venues, no gyms, no indoor dining, indoor gatherings limited to 10 and outdoors to 25. Schools and places of worship to stay open (although my church closed again after opening for 4 weeks) and we are asked not to mix households again.<br />I do have a bubble with one other woman in my building who is also on her own and we were going to eat together at my place for Canadian Thanksgiving, but, she ended back in the hospital yesterday for breathing difficulties (she has asthma) and they did a stack of tests - including for Covid (her second. Everything seems to be fine but she has to rest for a few days until all her results are back. I took her some soup and some pumpkin pie today and will take her a nice dinner tomorrow. To tell you the truth I'm not fussed about it all - I've gotten used to being on my own for most of the time.<br />I was walking down by the river last Monday afternoon and there were a lot of Orthodox families out there too (the salmon are running) so I got talking to one family and of course it was Succot (is that spelled correctly?) I hope that you have both had a nice week - as best you can at this time.Margie from Torontohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103835021764804099noreply@blogger.com
