HFF everyone!

HFF everyone!
The first (very small) park I saw open in Madrid since the start of lockdown. And I just caught the very last of the wisteria. That's my spring flora shot for the year!

You might find a few late Spring flowers, the little girl looks a bit unsure what to do !! I hope you have a HFF and that your weekend is a nice one Andy

A cheering sight when you live in a city. Nice to be able to enjoy a bit of greenery.

I WAS cheered!
2.5 months of not seeing much, if any, greenery has been tough for an ex-gardener like me!

It must have felt so wonderful to be free at last, you had been locked down for nearly 8 to 10 weeks hadn't you?
3 years ago.
Andy Rodker club has replied to Jenny McIntyre club
Thank you, Jenny! We're still locked down as before with a few exceptions;
a few more shop types are allowed to open,
A FEW parks have opened,
You can meet up to 10 people at one time outside and observing 2 metres social distancing.
SADLY, MANY (MAINLY YOUNG) PEOPLE HAVE THROWN CAUTION TO THE WIND AND ARE IGNORING ALL THE RULES. VERY SELFISH AND, TO MY MIND (AS SOMEONE IN 3 HIGH - RISK CATEGORIES), ALMOST MURDEROUS!!!

That's why I'm too scared to go out, I have COPD and am disabled, so it's very scary to imagine going out where there are people, some of whom don't seem to realise how dangerous things are.

Andy Rodker club has replied to Jenny McIntyre club
Exactly!
I still live by Phase 0 rules. I have to. I have Leukaemia, diabetes, and high blood pressure, My immune system is radically compromised. I have bucketloads of bleach and the appropriate sanitory stuff at home and I go out as little as possible. Whaty more can I do?

Oh I am so sorry to hear this, Andy. It must be horrendous for you - do you have those illnesses under control? Please stay safe too.

Andy Rodker club has replied to Jenny McIntyre club
Thank you, Jenny.
Yes, all in control! The wonders of modern medicine! But my immune system is not 100% so I have to be careful ... and the diabetes type 2 is considered a high risk facter for Covid too.

Many thanks, José Manuel.
This little park was crowded and I had to wait some time to get a clear view!
But how very strange; the've opened a few tiny parks but not the larger parks. This flies in the face of sensible social distancing!

A nice little oasis of green you've found there Andy. I like the wisteria but it's sad to the the empty play area - I'm still guessing it's forbidden to use them like here. Very nicely captured.

Although I'm not in the very high risk category, I share your concern at the lack of consideration being given to the social distancing rules. It not just the young either.

Stay safe and well...........HFF and have a good weekend my friend.

Thank you, Sarah!
Today I had to go out three times. Firstly this morning to the hospital for an appointment. I won't use public transport if I can help it, so I walked there and back (6 miles). I then had the first face to face class since lockdown with a student who hates telephone or online classes. I established the ground rules: good ventilation, masks, 2 metres apart and sanitary gel on the table. He recognises that I am in a high risk category and without my saying a word, upped my fee by 20%. I only realised this when I checked my bank balance online this evening. There are some nice people out there! (5 miles). I later realised I hadn't been to the shops for essentials so went out again (2 miles). So I easily got to my pedometre target!
However this was unusual as I have to consider myself very high risk (compromised immune system due to recurrent cancer - as well as being diabetic).
So I normally stay indoors most days and I miss not having a garden!!
Hope all is OK with you!
Best wishes,
Andy

It was good to see any sort of park open, Roger. Many thanks!
The closure of the parks was one of the more stupid measures we took in Spain.
It forced all the unmasked, perspiring, panting joggers and cyclists onto the pavements and roads where all the walkers had to go.
