This afternoon I played with some sunshine streaming in my glass door.? Hi, Lluis-- you've got your glass, I've got mine? :-) <https://www.flickr.com/photos/24844563 at N04/49681363956/in/dateposted-public/> <https://www.flickr.com/photos/24844563 at N04/49680829273/in/dateposted-public/> Olympus E-M5 and Panasonic/Leica 25/1.4 Summilux. We are doing all right, self-isolating in our Seattle suburb.? The state of Washington has not yet issued a mandatory lockdown of everyone, as New York, California, Illinois and several EU countries have done. But we are strongly advised to just stay home. All concerts (including mine) have been cancelled, as have sports events and basically any gatherings of people.? Most people who can are working from home.? It's OK to take walks as long as we stay 6 feet (~2 meters) away from everyone else. We're playing it safe and crossing to the opposite side of the street when we pass anyone. Online ordering of needed stuff is still working, although grocery orders are backed up for as many days as the web sites will display. As we are in the over-60 age group, we don't want to go into stores. We found a suburban supermarket that takes online orders and will put them in our car trunk (aka boot) so there's no person-to-person contact. ? Even that will be 3 days from now, but that's OK. Be safe, everybody, and be good to each other. --Peter
