If they have to be stuck somewhere, New Zealand is a pretty good place to be.<br /><br />YP: It does sound kind of gross, doesn't it?!<br /><br />Mitchell: Ha! Over-the-top, definitely.<br /><br />Edna: I definitely don't want crashing waves in my beer!<br /><br />Ms Moon: Getting exercise definitely helps with sleep.<br /><br />Sharon: I slept less well last night, and had some anxiety dreams. It's hit or miss, isn't it?<br /><br />Robin: I hope those better days aren't far off!<br /><br />Ellen: It's all stuff that's been there for ages. I'm just cleaning it up slowly.<br /><br />Padre: I'm glad! You're her number one fan! (Well, after us.) And yes, she got a treat.<br /><br />Catalyst: I usually have a backlog of pictures I've been meaning to blog!<br /><br />Fresca: They ARE a picture of frustration. They really convey the mood, don't they? I wonder how Elvis' estate can dispute the name. They don't say Elvis PRESLEY, specifically. It could be any Elvis they're talking about, or none.<br /><br />Bug: Yeah, I bet he got in fits of temper.<br /><br />Linda Sue: I don't think I could take TV news all day. I don't watch it at all. At least he's watching MSNBC and not Fox!<br /><br />Penelope: Ha! Or maybe just ingesting lots of Elvis Juice!Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-15033319454795684132020-04-09T21:22:22.488+01:002020-04-09T21:22:22.488+01:00H E N D R I XH E N D R I XPenelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01869670673483172196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-88448637643570974112020-04-09T21:13:45.461+01:002020-04-09T21:13:45.461+01:00I think the person who wrote the brew review may h...I think the person who wrote the brew review may have been ingesting schrooms, smoking hash and listening to Jimmy Hendricks.

The thing about musicians such as he and Blaze Foley and Townes Van Zandt, - don't miss them, their music/poetry is eternal pretty much, tap in anytime. Wonderful phots , signs on the door made me laugh. I have been home since before valentines day , Dennis two weeks later, We intend to stay in and covered until there is a vaccine. Lots to do, and we are not especially social anyway, so We are fine. Naps are an event! Time is non existent - day time- night time. that is it. Dennis parks himself in front of MSNBC all day with head phones!

Curious, I look...A fun round-up of photos. Thanks!<br /><br />Curious, I looked up Elvis Juice and see that "the self-styled punk brewery and the King of Rock'n'Roll's estate have been rumbling," but eventually Brewdog won the legal right to use the name.<br /><br />I'm nostalgic for hand-written signs, now we usually see computer print. The repetition of the signs at the pharmacy are a good picture of frustration: <br />people don't read signs!

I'll pass on the Elvis Juice with it's over-the-top description. I love seeing Olga among the flowers. I slept all the way through last night for the first time in about two weeks. You are right, I think the stress of this situation is making us tired. It's also been making me sleep terribly uneasy. I'm not sure why last night was better but it was thank goodness.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645915869786296771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-74353846650684429722020-04-09T14:31:43.700+01:002020-04-09T14:31:43.700+01:00Elvis Juice?

Thirdly- Waves of crashing pine? <br />Oh Lord. <br />Anyway, yeah. I sleep a lot. I try not to nap because I don't want to mess up my regular ten hours at night routine. <br />The main reason I'm pushing my walks is so that I'll sleep better at night. <br /><br />I hope Black Beauty is okay.

Besides, "Elvis Juice" sounds vaguely disgusting - as if it might have leaked from his coffin. A better name for the beer might be "Pandemic Escape". The sign in the pharmacy window has a curious balloon over the lower case letter "i". It's outrageous! Such abuse needs to cease immediately!Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-54041628119333014892020-04-09T09:08:46.137+01:002020-04-09T09:08:46.137+01:00Those messages on the pharmacy door are appalling ...Those messages on the pharmacy door are appalling !
