It's a stirring song and I like it, but really, it has as many lyrics as the average 1970s disco song...<br /><br />It'd be great if the government is planning on having so many extra doses for people. I suspect they are being safe and ordering as many as they can, expecting to get maybve a third as much. Our governments have actually been working to fight covid-19, which is good to see.<br /><br />(I didn't much care for the 'duality' flag that was flown a cenotaph. I like our real red-and-white flag.)John Bellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10946140614088069665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5098840169301919183.post-4477890707216770212020-11-15T08:35:48.451-06:002020-11-15T08:35:48.451-06:00I agree about the 2 minutes silence.

LOL<br />Love the placemats, you have great ideas!<br />I've copied the picture of the shrug as I'm always looking for easy and quick projects.

I tuned in while working via CBC Radio.<br /><br />I really like that sweater/shrug and also your pillow idea! I'd never have thought of that; even I could do it. LOL.<br /><br />I don't have much in the way of holiday shopping to do, just a couple of gift cards for Mom's birthday and Christmas gifts. She'll be 80 next month and thank goodness she's in the Atlantic bubble. Wouldn't we all like to be there right now. Anyway, I wanted to get that done, and get individual cards for family/close friends to mail out, in case we get locked down again. Kingston is okay so far, but cases here are on the rise too, we had 10 new ones on Friday, which is the most in one day since June. Active cases were at 26 as of last Friday. Most of those are travel and contact-related. Things are NOT going well in Ontario, or in many other parts of the country. I try to keep in mind that Ontario has a population of about 14.7M, and try to think in terms of percent infection, but still....I've been wearing two masks when I go out now, the non-surgical one and a cloth one over it. I have a few cloth ones that work well doing that, they're sturdy 2-layer cotton. I have other masks that are just too thick; I'd suffocate if I wore a second mask under them.<br /><br />Anyway, we shall get through this, we just have to hang in and do our part. I actually look forward to when my routine can include commuting to the actual office again, not just walking up the creaky stairs to the spare room. LOL.<br /><br />Take care; stay safe and be well.Keahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06809655107065918944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5098840169301919183.post-65669953073063494642020-11-15T06:25:07.882-06:002020-11-15T06:25:07.882-06:00I LOVE the pillows and actually even I could do th...I LOVE the pillows and actually even I could do that! So glad you said how. And boy do you have patience. To be able to just rip it up and start again is beyond my imagination. I'd throw it up in the air probably. I have seeming patience but insider I am busting to get on with whatever it is, not re-do. But I would re-do. Not happily. I remember and may have already said here once, that when I first got a sewing machine, I tried to make myself a blouse. I persistently cut left sides instead of one of each. After the third time of that lame brained mistake, I DID quit.

Kudos. It is a shame the remembrances this year had to be so reduced. 2007 was such a lovely time when all was what we expected it to be. I had to do mine this year by watching shows on TV.

I do so wish others in my city had done the same. <br /><br />Scary how our numbers are rising so quickly. I am really glad that Moe decided to do a mask mandate through most of the province. If everyone wears one I am sure our numbers will decrease.<br /><br />Love the pillows, what a great idea. The shrug is gorgeous as well.<br /><br />God bless.<br /><br />Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16051183778965359500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5098840169301919183.post-19826709143034481582020-11-14T16:04:42.057-06:002020-11-14T16:04:42.057-06:00I love those pillows.
