So Surreal
I really do despair of some things/behavour at the moment
I mean, QUEUING TO GO UP SNOWDON??!!??
*sighs*
There's this weird thing were up to the point of closing the schools and pubs etc people were social distancing and complaining about more stuff not being done - but once they closed things, people have started treating it like a holiday (apart from the issues getting food).
I think the funniest thing is, I've been debating for a week, going to Leighton Moss (nature reserve near us) to get some sketches and photos of the red deer. I was debating because of the whole social distancing thing, because while it's close it's not walkable. And there might be a few other people.
The only reason I was even considering it was because I am expected to be getting on with work for uni despite the uni buildings and workshops being shut. (I want to do animals, British animals specifically and lecturer informed me this means they expect loads of sketches and observation and study...) Hell I still have to do an assessment in May despite being unable to make anything new.
I shall be staying in, apart from dog walks, because even that short trip seems a bad idea now. (I just need to figure out a way to make friends with the local magpies, as they are the other subject of choice)

Scotland is going to ban people soon as well, and to be honest, I do not blame them. The areas people are going (Snowdownia, the Highlands, Skegness) do not have the capability to cover for extra people in this situation. They have small hospitals covering huge areas.
It is not fair to be putting so much extra onto them in this situation.
I mean, my nana is currently in one of the small hospitals that exist in the Highlands. She doesn't have corona, but she won't be coming back out. We're having to deal with that, and limited numbers of us being able to go, because you know, the situation outside of our family sucks too.
I just. Yeah.
I would have been unimpressed by people even without that.It just makes it that little bit harder to be understanding of the people being idiots.
Like they had people saying 'oh well they said it was fine to be outside and nothing else' when like actually John, the guidance is it's fine to go outside so long as you follow social distancing rules. It's like people read/listening to the first piece of each piece of guidance and ignored the second.

All my best to all of you still - I hope you're all safe
Here's hoping some sanity starts to win through.
