It would be very easy to slip into a state of negativity and of fear; I'm determined to try and avoid that if at all possible. So, to help in maintaining some personal balance, I'm going to try to do one positive thing each day and to find one good thing about each day wherever I can. This small blog normally features some of the more remote and spectacular part of Scotland but that's not going to be the case for some time.
Today's "one good thing" was the bright clump of miniature Daffodils (Narcissus sp) which have flowered at the base of a wall in our garden. Just a few inches tall, they were originally in a pot - but have done really well. Much earlier than the larger Daffodils, they're a cheeful sight - which is welcome.
From a pure history point of view, looking back, it might be good for thinning out the herd, leaving strong healthy people and more grass for the survivors left on the planet...A less stressed NHS afterwards due to less ill people to care for... Good for wildlife if the weather is kind for spring breeding... very good for climate change with everything grounded for months... a severe brake on factories and consumerism...and less competition for jobs in the aftermath so possibly higher wages and proper jobs for the young folk in the future. How's that for a long term upside... And seeing a conservative government suddenly finding a money tree forest to play with along with Donald Trump's face when he realized his hotel empire might not be such a good bet anymore.
