Posted on July 14, 2020 by deborah @ the magic jug

A quick post today, as I’ve been busy all day and didn’t get anything written along the way. Today was an ordinary day, which is to say that as we’re still self-isolating we must of necessity keep ourselves to ourselves. … Continue reading →

In the time of the virus: to wear or not to wear, that is the question – face coverings

Posted on July 7, 2020 by deborah @ the magic jug

Posted on July 1, 2020 by deborah @ the magic jug

So.  Here we are, on the 100th day of this series.  What a timespan; what an extraordinary experience to look back on.  Though I fear it may not feel quite so extraordinary when looked back on from a more distant … Continue reading →

In the time of the virus: day 76

Posted on June 7, 2020 by deborah @ the magic jug
