The Feast Day of St. Anthony Zaccaria.
It is a good piece of family news to share with you. Paul has now had his two negative Covid 19 test results. It is unimaginably a great relief and source of something to be thankful for and probably never forget.
He can go to Tesco again and he has continued to do office manager work from home. He has a cough, but apart from weight loss, he seems in good spirit and coping. I remain well and happy. We isolated quite a lot all last week.
I Googled how to cope on the loss of a pet. It is so helpful and others could find it worthwhile reading. I still miss Arthur and it is normal to take time to experience these feelings. Google says the animal soul does survive and they wait for us on the other side of this life, which is consoling. Buddhists say the spirit of the animal can stay 7 days near the loved ones. Cats are not mentioned in the Holy Bible as such, as domesticated companions, but the cat was held in very high esteem by the Egyptians.
The afternoon walk I did, included looking for and finding some wild pink patterned orchids, that were growing on the grass banking near the railway track. There is a tall wire fence to protect the tracks.
The weather is sunny with a wind, 15c and pleasant.The plants in flowerpots dry fast, so I did some watering. 
Have a lovely Tuesday and thanks so much for visiting today.
