Plenty of things to do in and around the house if everything E-related goes down. I still have about 5 meters of books I didn't read yet in my libraryMy son asked,"What will everyone do if the internet goes down from being so stressed... people working from home, children and college students doing online class, bored people streaming movies."
It was an interesting question.
Thank you for such a treasure trove! I hope I never get to the end of the list...I'm sure many of you have plenty of ideas how to spend all the "spare" time now when restricted to go outside and around like we were used to until just few hours ago.

I know! I'm visiting a relative in Pompano Beach who lives on the ocean. Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Lauderdale by the Sea, and now Pompano have all closed their beaches to the spring breakers. Today is our first day to not be able to walk the beach here. The beach closures are moving north every day.I'd love to go take a wander on the beach next to my building but there are hordes of mindless fools here in Florida for spring break. You simply have to start believing.View attachment 71067
Beautiful, Trecile! You are so artistically creative!
I live in Raleigh, NC and our restaurants and bars are closed. They can do take out, delivery or have a drive thru.I know! I'm visiting a relative in Pompano Beach who lives on the ocean.

Yep, same here. We fly home tomorrow to Illinois after ten days of perfect weather. I think we will be self quarantining for the 15 days. I will have no good excuse to procrastinate on projects I've been ignoring.I live in Raleigh, NC and our restaurants and bars are closed. They can do take out, delivery or have a drive thru.

You need to click through few links etc but here it is a direct link:Thanks, Kinky, I was so excited to get these links. My first “trip” was to be a return to the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City (the list says ”New Mexico” but it is in the “real” Mexico). But when I click on the link, I only get a picture of the exterior of the museum. Is there a virtual tour somewhere that I am missing? I am not an anthropologist or archaeologist, but I think this is one of the most spectacular museums in the world.
I have been waiting to find time to explore at least one of these links. I copied them, and pasted them, and shared them with some friends. However, it is only today that I gave myself permission to sit down and go slowly through at least one link and hey presto! I am sitting at my laptop thoroughly enjoying A Spanish Night, conducted by Placido Domingo in 2001, in the Berlin Waldbühne. Wonderful!I'm sure many of you have plenty of ideas how to spend all the "spare" time now when restricted to go outside and around like we were used to until just few hours ago.
