Life as we all know it has changed since the start of 2020.  Who would have thought that we would be in the situation that we find ourselves now. The whole world is in lockdown with no end in sight for some countries. We have not had many cases of Covid-19 here in Lanzarote and very few deaths. I think our figures are currently running at 68 cases and 3 deaths.

Our lockdown in Spain began on the 15th March 2020 and will probably go on till at least 26th April. Lluis Serra, professor of Preventative medicine at the University of Las Palmas de Gan Canaria and spokesman for the scientific committee advising the Canaria Government made a statement yesterday on Canaria radio. Whilst warning of caution he also said that the battle is not yet won but the government are hopeful that the numbers of new cases is on the decrease and they are considering that restrictions may be relaxed during the middle of April saying that taking children outside even if only for just an hour a day is important as they need vitamin D from the sun for their immune systems, other measures that could be lifted soon include re-opening certain workplaces and permitting individuals to leave their homes alone to exercise.  

Alan and I are coping well with the lockdown, Alan has been busy on the roof of our house moving the solar system so he could repair the roof, we've painted the garden walls, tidied the gardens, downsized our wardrobes and put clothes aside for the charity bin.  

Charco del Palo is like a ghost town, here are some photos that I took yesterday while going to the supermarket (which I am allowed to do once a day I might add) 

Photos left to right,  car parking down from Centro Commercial, Centro Commercial, Oböna type 5 with swimming pool taped off, parking outside Oböna type 5, Oböna type 1 with pool taped off, Seafront towards Finisterre apartments. 

So what have I been doing to while away the time,  I got the sewing machine out and made a face mask for myself, I've been doing a lot of baking, so then I have to do a lot of keep fit. !!  At the moment I am doing 30 days of Yoga with Adriene, and also Hasfit for Seniors, both available for free on Youtube. My morning always used to start with a walk, anything up to 5k so I totally miss not doing this, and Alan is going crazy that he can't walk out any more.  

So we are surviving, we are trying not to get too fat,  trying to keep fit, healthy and sane.  Alan and I wish all our friends good health and we'll see you some time again in the future.

Stay Safe, Stay well, Stay indoors,  best wishes to you all Wendy and Alan
