I took these pictures and sent to my DH phone and said Happy Father’s Day! He texted back : “OMG, you wear these to clean the house? I thought “The housewives series!!!”

I went out today to pick up some groceries. I‘ve been carrying bags, but today reverted back to my pouch. Lately, I’ve seen people lined up at stores and restaurants, some wearing masks but some not, and few social distancing. It’s disheartening. I don’t know if it’s carelessness or if people believe we are past this pandemic....and if they believe that, I hope they’re right. But I fear a resurgence....and I hope I’m wrong....
It is indeed disheartening. If we all had worn masks and social distanced when not home, starting in late February the US would be so much better off, not so much illness and loss, and it is truly heartbreaking. As they say, just because we are tired of the virus it is not tired of us. And it will continue to roll now that it has so many more opportunities as things open up. Believe me, I wish we were going to have a quick end to all this, but because “leadership” was/is careless, and many are careless more now I fear the worst. I also hope I’m wrong. But all science points to a long process. I do think at some point things will be better, but I’m trying to buckle in for a long haul. At least now being outside a lot helps, even if I can’t wear my H scarves and carry my nice bags. I can still look at and enjoy them!! And browse online to my heart’s content.
I just keep wearing my masks, staying home a lot more, and hope maybe people will start getting it. On an Hermes note, I really do like your pouch. It looks functional and safe! And good health and safety to all.

This looks hilariously relatable with the bags and all. Except my car has an embarrassing colony of crumbs on that side. From me. I have no children to blame yet.
You are not alone in that concern... I have seen less adherence to social distancing here too. Frankly, it worries me since numbers of cases have risen dramatically in my county. The couple of restaurants we felt safe enough to try as my area opened are no longer being careful with seating tables... they are seating guests right next to one another without regard to distancing or only being allowed to operate at 50% capacity. Four tables surrounding us had guests who were coughing. We decided to leave because it just wasn't worth the risk. For now, I will try to enjoy sheltering in place again and come here for a daily dose of H sunshine.
Although I am back in my normal routine but have not yet to go dine-in at any restaurant that we used to. My routine now works from home, home to my parents, groceries, or Costco ... My husband handles groceries, I just tag along and stay in the car waiting
.I stopped going to the beach after I saw a lot of people without mask walking with no distance social, shouting, and laughing like there was pandemic at all.
I too have not really ventured out too much even though we are free to roam in our area for the most part. We have not dined in a restaurant either or done much else besides grocery shopping and quick errands. I also see many people not wearing masks or being concerned about social distancing which, like the rest of you, concerns me. The saving grace has been our outdoor activities which have allowed us to maintain our sanity while still socially distancing. So I'm also still sheltering in place mostly for the time being even though I'm so itching to get out and enjoy the world again.

I'm only going out for essentials.
I am greatly concerned about the potential "spike" in cases which may result from the demonstrations that
took place all over the country & the world without social distancing & wearing masks.
Several states here in the US have seen a spike in the last few weeks.
For those who care, for those respecting social distancing & wearing masks, I hope we will not have
to pay a high price for those who are careless & do not have the depth to understand this grave virus.

Hi! I hope everyone is doing well. Looks like there’s plenty of catch-up to do on this thread. I’ve been MIA as the city prepares for Phase 2 reopening, and work life has been mad furious. I want to echo everyone’s sentiments that this thread has provided and continues to provide joy and entertainment throughout these extraordinary times.My story experienced a prolonged NYC pause because I felt it mirrored too much of what was/is happening in the world, particularly in the U.S. To continue it would seem insensitive and exploitative. When I first outlined the story in March, the themes included a troubled history, tragedy, equality, clashes, and hope. As diane278 had guessed early on, it was also an allegory of the pandemic.
Having said that, I’ll post some random remaining images from my camera roll without narration. But the end of the tale will include some prose.
Despite the recent difficult days, even a Boy Toy needs exercise. Planking with a Medor.....

Being over 70, I have been sheltering seriously. Miss carrying my bags. The other day I remembered in The Crown, Queen Elizabeth would carry her bag around the palace. With that in mind, I put my knitting, Ipad, and cell phone in Picotin GM and started carrying it around the house with me occasionally. Thinking of trying same with another style as well.
I know, it’s so hard not to carry our favorite bags isn’t it? Good for you for putting your things in your picotin and carrying it. I do the same - I work from home right now so I load up a bag, and carry it from bedroom to couch or desk. I also keep some of them out on display just to enjoy them that way. Maybe someday we will be able to safely carry our bags again. Here’s to a vaccine, a treatment or even a cure someday!!!
