I think the only way to go is speed up the vaccination process, so that people can more or less pick up their lives again. xxxPolyester Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05602613792584925087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833738977646898455.post-33301947748322506882021-04-05T14:39:17.185+02:002021-04-05T14:39:17.185+02:00Thank you Vronni!

Given her age, she might very well be in the stroppy teenager phase ;-) We've been making the most of the lovely, warm weather of earlier this week to do some well-needed garden, which also included a reshuffle!

Primarily restaurants - though those with patios or other outdoor seating areas are allowed to remain open and serve customers strictly outdoors for the time being.<br /><br />I agree with you that "half measures" might not be the best or swiftest path to stop this wave in its tracks, and think more stringent measures might be the wiser way to go. <br /><br />On a more upbeat note, Bess really isn't the cutest thing on four paws (and I continue to marvel at how similar looking she is to our late Stella). It warms my heart to know that she's settling in and adapting to life in your loving home. <br /><br />Wishing all three of you a sunny, peaceful, safe, and truly happy Easter long weekend!<br /><br />Autumn Zenith 🧡 <b><a href="http://witchcraftedlife.com" rel="nofollow">Witchcrafted Life</a></b> Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833738977646898455.post-15330261894820482662021-03-30T20:40:29.997+02:002021-03-30T20:40:29.997+02:00I'm so pleased Bess is settling in so well.

She will be Queen of All She Surveys soon enough! <br /><br />Although our numbers have been going up here (mostly younger folks who are ignoring the gathering restrictions, arg!), they are rolling out the vaccines (my mom goes on Saturday for hers, and it's likely I'll be able to book mine before April is up, woo hoo!) and slowing opening up to more outside contacts...as in we must be outdoors! I'll take it! <br /><br />Your new jumper is as gorgeous as I thought it would be! I love the black/red/white dress (great minds think alike, I see), and your autumn-ish toned dress is lovely. <br /><br />Thank you for all this beauty, Ann, from your frocks to your flowers! I always come away with a smile. I saw that you're going to stall on your spring clothes a bit - I'm eager to dive into my stash of "I'll wear these in spring" clothes that have been threatening to tumble down on me!

The situation is becoming more and more absurd here, tourists coming to Madrid to party or visiting the coast and isles, meanwhile we spanish people have to stay in our own regions. No isles nor coast for us. Isn't it ridiculous?. And Madrid makes me feel embarrassed.<br />But let's talk on fab clothes, which makes us feel better!. Love your multicoloured ensemble, the striped top and the short sleeved jacket, such a perfect layering and lovely color combo with the teal tights and cute brooches!. <br />Lovely black floral dress, lovely matchy cardi and tights combo, and lovely brooch (one of my favourites ever!). Rocking these Green details!<br />This book looks really appealing to me!. I'm adding it to my list now!<br />Love the way you jazzed this brown&beige dress with some orange, cute beads and a beret!.

All this time passed and nobody has any idea what is really effective. Nothing seems to make sense. I don't know what is the right thing to do anymore, lockdown or more.

My favourite is the printed beige and greyish dress worn with an orange cardigan and tights. I also like how you accessorized with the belt and beanie. <br />That book by Jane Robins sounds fascinating. Thank you for your recommendation.
