Quarantine Day 78

Quiet day. I found a combination of pain ointments that sort of work so I felt good during the night. Bought some patches to help me sleep. Work great. I ordered some shampoo/rinse that is created for my hair. I chose the color and scent of each. Ah, the smells are great!! The bathroom still fells great!

Too hot today. Almost 90F. But with strong winds that helped.

Tonight I am lost in England and Scotland on train trips. The guide is Julie Walters. She was in Henry Potter. My photos today are from her trip to Alnwick England. I am certainly feeling my British genes. Wish I was there and not here --- out in the countryside away from all the hate and violence. There used to be a train to Alnwick that stopped in 1968. The station is now a used book store. I could spend a lot of time there!! Been a great escape.

The Keep Calm and Carry On sayings started in Alnwick. They found it in a box of books and printed it. Over the years it has gotten more popular. Very interesting.














And did those feet in ancient time,
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy lamb of god
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among these dark satanic mills?
Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear, oh clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Til we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land
