A bonus post for my friends.
Hello again. I have some wonderful friends in Blogland. They love a good gossip. On a wet Saturday afternoon there is nothing I like better than to mooch around the blogs. Very entertaining. Thank you ladies. Toodle pip.
A note to Treaders of Random Thoughts, can you please put some paragraphs in, a whole block of miniscule writing is very difficult to read.
The French aren't known for being great respecters of rules but I have to say I've been pleasantly surprised at how people have been wearing masks and using the hand sanitizers available at the entrance to every shop. There's a UK blogger who I quite like and who is a tad eccentric, but she is of the opinion that this pandemic is more or less an attempt by governments to "control the plebs" (maybe, maybe not) and that the virus is no more serious than the flu (on that I do not agree with her at all). She doesn't like wearing a mask and so goes shopping with a paper she downloaded from the government's website to say that wearing a mask causes her "distress" (which she is legally entitled to do), despite the fact that she is perfectly fit and, as she says herself, has no underlying health problems! She posts about this kind of thing occasionally but I'm beginning to suspect she does it to shit stir as while many people agree with her a few slap back and tell her how selfish she's being. One lady commented that she presumed she wouldn't be getting the vaccine shot then since it was all a hoax and the whole bloody blog blew up into a fair old handbag fight! I didn't comment as I tend to keep my opinions to myself, but needless to say I don't agree with her stance. She wouldn't get away with it here though because I'm pretty sure you've got to have a paper signed by a doctor in order to exempt you from having to wear a mask on health grounds.
The point about the blogging lady is that she does not wear a mask INSIDE shops, I'm not talking about outside in the street. She wouldn't be allowed to wander round any shops here without a mask. If I'm outside I try to keep my distance but if it is crowded I will wear a mask even in the street. I think for the most part it's common sense isn't it.
Oh my gosh I know who you are talking about-I agree. I do think she now just adds things to stir up a hornet nest. I used to enjoy her blogs when she discussed her animals, her walks, her past as a lorrie? driver, but when she decided to be chair of the conspiracy theory tin hat wearers, enough. She ranted that she was not going to post any contradictory comments, but that must not have been enough fun-I pop over every once in a while to see how ridiculous her blog has gotten and how she moved form being frugal because she had to be to now basically bragging about being cheaper than convenience store toilet paper and the damn yellow sticker. Yes, I'm a bitchy cow I guess.
You can "bitchy cow" all you want with me. Sometimes it feels good doesn't it. I used to like the lady blogger in the past 'cos she was bound and determined to quit work at 60 and she did, but I tend to agree with you that now she's part of the tin foil hat brigade. Trouble is, if you are deliberately provocative I don't think you should act surprised when people kick back.
I know which blogger you are talking of and I had to quit reading her. Followed her for years but now it just seems she's gone off on a bent that I certainly don't want to listen to
I know the blogger you mean and I stopped reading her when she first said she refused to wear a mask. My daughter and I were talking about the exemptions recently and both of us felt they should only be distributed by a doctor and not easily printable on the internet! Plus, people who can't wear masks could at least use a face visor surely. I've said it before and I'll no doubt say it again, would these same people not wear a mask if they were told it was poisoned gas? I think most would find they could suddenly wear a mask. As for governments trying to control us! Thats a laugh, since when could governments agree with each other about anything far less every government in the world agreeing to control their 'plebs'!!
I agree 100% about the mask business. I had a hard time at the beginning but the masks that I made myself were just too thick. Now I'm fine with the disposable ones - still don't like them - but I agree, being able to print your own exemption online is a cop-out! If you have a genuine medical issue then presumably your doctor knows about it and can sign your exemption. And regarding governments controlling the plebs, hell the EU can't even agree on the right shape for carrots!
