On the brighter side

This morning it was announced that the first patient in our region has recovered from Covid19 and is at home in self-isolation for a week.

The water in the Venetian canals is clean - and you can see the fish!

It has already been reported that the air in Beijing is clean - and the smog over northern Italy (Milan region) has also disappeared.

And if you are looking for something to do while on lockdown - tennis with the neighbour:

Though "Can I have my ball back?" might be a bit difficult

Ah that explains it...........the CV is a warning to clean up the earth and fast. Last time I was in Venice, you could see nothing at all in the canals.

I am so pleased that you are both still OK. xxxx

And the Pope got to walk on a Rome street to say mass instead of having to go in the violet proof pope mobile. How nice to take a walk in Rome.

It's amazing how nature recovers from lots of tourists! The tennis scared me to death. But a good way to pass the time! Good news in terms of recovery. 😁😊

I've neva known such quietness in my area that news has lifted me oh and birds are singing .

[Hidden in reply to Ladymax123]

Actually...I was listening to the birds yesterday with the windows closed! Lovely...no noise pollution ...like when the planes stopped for the volcano.

One bonus - Clean air. Would be great if it could continue.

I remember after W grounded all flights in the US after 911 how quiet the world seemed, and how clear the sky!
