No general lockdown so far in Sweden but a number of restrictions anyway - especially to protect the elderly and other risk groups. Outdoors exercise is not restricted to once a day but the importance of social distancing is emphasized. I have pretty much restricted myself to just going out once per day though as that's pretty much what I've been doing over winter anyway!

It really is a waste of money, in my opinion. It does not really go into any detail at all. But, maybe coming from Boris, that is to be expected. Well, at least it did not cost the taxpayers as much as one day in Florida costs us when Donald and his entourage and the secret service agents decide to go to his country club every weekend!! <br /><br />Here in Colorado, the powers that be are thinking about closing trails and parks and mountain access in our high country as the number of people trying to recreate in those beautiful, popular spots during this beautiful weather we are having presently are causing a real problem. Can't "social distance" on a tiny trail in the middle of boulders and trees. Already, county parks are closed to children by order of the governor. <br /><br />I hope that old saying comes true.

As only his mother can I am manufacturing wild imaginary stories as to how his presence on the A-what's-it can be justified. "My mother just sent me an SOS, she is somewhere in the New Forest, incoherent, most likely having broken her foot, smashed her skull. All I need to do now is find her. Don't wish to draw on NHS resources and their ambulances. Thanks.". So far he is hesitant as to my wisdom.<br /><br />It'll be interesting to see what happens this weekend. Inner city. Sunshine. Starved bodies aching for Vitamin D.

I usually go out for about an hour each day, but today I took the dog to Hampstead Heath for a couple of hours. It seems like the government is fine with walking as long as we don't lounge on a bench or sunbathe or picnic. We have to be ACTIVELY exercising.<br /><br />Also, there's a sign up at the entrance that says we should "stay local" and not drive or take public transport to the Heath for exercise. I assume that's generally the guideline nationwide, though it seems fairly harmless to drive a bit in a rural area. I guess the risk is if there's a breakdown or an accident.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-91042263865436354052020-04-09T17:40:14.348+01:002020-04-09T17:40:14.348+01:00Am I wrong to deduce that you are not a big Trump ...Am I wrong to deduce that you are not a big Trump fan Mary?

The guidance should not be open to interpretation.. I have heard The Health Secretary saying that a short drive before exercise is acceptable and that it is all about using common sense. Should children be allowed to jump on garden trampolines during the lockdown? Some 13,000 significant trampoline accidents happen each year - requiring visits to hospital A&E departments.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-61961017670630345022020-04-09T17:28:57.298+01:002020-04-09T17:28:57.298+01:00Thanks for this comment Margie.

The one thing that, to me, is worrying, is the fact that we are not allowed to exercise. Though it's a sensible precaution in any city, town, or any high density area. But when you live in the countryside it seems rather pointless that you can't, at least, enjoy a short walk. This afternoon I walked the dog - more than the permitted 50 metres from home - and didn't see a soul, and it's like that most days, long before the virus kept everyone behind their high garden walls.Coppa's girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459503600694841117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-74752231454327534902020-04-09T15:59:57.827+01:002020-04-09T15:59:57.827+01:00Me too.
