Report from the blankie fort - Week 14

The sun is shining, 

The sky is blue. 

What more could one ask

Except "How are you?" 

I got that from the bears this morning. Or perhaps it was the rabbit, the new kid at the window and the only one wearing a mask as one ought in such close quarters. I don't think he heard about the bubbles.

On Friday, we here in Ontario were told by our provincial and public health leaders that we could now gather in bubbles of ten. No, not ten bubbles, just one with ten people and we could be up close and personal inside our bubble, hugging and even kissing! Imagine that? 

But it's complicated, like everything else CoVID19 related. I can have up to ten people in my bubble, the same ten people every time. No swapping in and out. And I can only have ONE and only one bubble. There can't be a weekday bubble and weekend bubble, a Sunday bubble and a Friday bubble. 

Here are the official rules (note: it was bubbles, but officially now it's circles!) 

Start with your current circle: the people you live with or who regularly come into your household. 

Step 2: If your current circle is under 10 people, you can add members to your circle, including another household, family members or friends. 

Step 3: Get agreement from everyone that they will join the circle. 

Step 4: Keep your social circle safe. Maintain physical distancing with anyone outside of your circle. 

Step 5: Be true to your social circle. No one should be part of more than one circle.

But even the rules have instructions. Here they are: https://www.ontario.ca/page/create-social-circle-during-covid-19

The message is clear: DON'T PLAY WITH THE BUBBLES! 

 

But, I can still play in my garden, shoring up, cleaning up, and dressing up, 

all while enjoying the fresh air, butterflies...

...and visits from Daffodil the duck.

 

Stay safe. 

Be well.

May your bubble be strong.
