Hi, hope you are all keeping virus free. It is a bit freaky, I admit now! Although I do think the toilet paper thing is rather funny.
I am marooned at home and getting a bit of a taste of isolation! My garage door went bang on Saturday and a hinge thing had broken and pinged around everywhere, not damaging my car thank goodness. Just waiting for someone to come to repair it so I can go shopping. I was thinking backpack and 30min walk there and then back to nearest shop, but hopefully can forget that! I did walk to Church and back though yesterday so that might get me back into the swing of a walking habit if nothing else! How dependent we are in this modern age!
What I read last week:
What I am reading now:
I just felt like something different – this is biography/memoir that I think I’ll find interesting. I’ve seen her on You Tube – courageous woman.
Up next:
This is a follow up to Into the Wild so I am looking forward to reading it next. I like K. A. Tucker’s stories.
The Book Date 
Glad you’re safe and healthy.

I had the spring break in my garage door right after I got home from dropping my son off from school. Luckily I had enough time to get it dealt with so he wasn’t stranded at school but it was a bit crazy! We live a bit out in the country so walking isn’t really an option so without cars we are kind of in trouble! I’ve got the Thayne book coming up and I’m really looking forward to it!

Garage doors are can be quite a nuisance to fix.
Nancy Zieman had a sewing series on PBS that my mother used to watch. Nancy died in 2017.

Billy yes she did. I am finding her life so interesting because it kind of syncs with my own lifetime but in different countries and of course doing different things with our lives.

Sorry to hear about your garage door! The car our son usually drives had a burning smell coming from it (!) just before he was to leave for the weekend to visit his girlfriend, so he took the truck (SUV) my husband usually drives, leaving us to do our big shopping trip Saturday with my tiny VW! We managed, though. We currently have two cars needing repairs (other son came home yesterday to tell us the sideview mirror broke off!), so I totally get it about being reliant on our cars! Not to mention that we were just starting to catch up a bit financially … sigh…
Well, the walking sounds nice, and it looks like you read some good books last week!
Enjoy your books this week, and thanks for hosting the link-up!

I need to get out for a walk today! It’s going to be warm here in Massachusetts, especially for early March. I had a day at home yesterday because an event was canceled due to coronavirus prevention. It was kind of nice! I wouldn’t mind being quarantined for a short time, I always say, but inactivity that is forced on you is never as enjoyable as when you choose to take a break and forgo outside activities by design!

So right. I see lots of good humour on FB about being closed up to read or sew, but really when its enforced not such fun.

Thanks for sharing Kathryn. The virus has hit us local from a student studying in Italy. She tested positive at a local hospital and was told to self quarantine herself and her family until the CDC sent back the results. Well apparently the father and her younger sister attended a father daughter dance and a pre dance party so because of their actions they have closed five schools, a hotel where the dance was held (The Ritz) and health officials are scrambling to see if there might be more potentially affected. What is wrong with people

I can’t understand people that put so many at risk, we had someone like that who came in from Iran and then flew to visit another place here in NZ and then back again. It is how this thing is spread. They really need their heads read!

Looking forward to your thoughts on Wild at Heart – I’ve seen it around online lately. Haven’t read this author. I remember seeing Nancy Zieman on television years ago. I hope you enjoy the book! Our garage door has needed springs replaced in the past. I hope yours is an easy fix.
