    Qt Core: Hi Luci, San.
    Lucinda Lavender: Hi Aph, Eliza, San, Qt Riddle, Druth!
    Riddle Sideways: Hey Bruce


    Eliza Madrigal: How for others? Any steps toward "normalcy"?
    druth Vlodovic: Bruce
    Eliza Madrigal: Hi Bruce
    Bruce Mowbray: Hi, everyone.
    Bruce Mowbray: _/|\_
    Lucinda Lavender: Hi Bruce
    Riddle Sideways: hey Mick
    Bruce Mowbray: Hi, Mick.
    Eliza Madrigal: Hi Mick
    Qt Core: against first plans of reopening we accelerated and most places reopened past monday (i'm a little worried about it)
    Mickorod Renard: Hi Folks
    Qt Core: Hi Bruce, Mick
    Riddle Sideways: yes, worried about it
    Lucinda Lavender: Hi Mick
    Mickorod Renard: waves
    Bruce Mowbray: Hi, Qt.
    Eliza Madrigal nods
    Eliza Madrigal: I'm surprised, QT, thought they'd be even more cautious there
    Qt Core: it seems that wrongly wearing masks become mandatory ;-)
    Eliza Madrigal: but I guess it has been longer since the spike
    Eliza Madrigal: :)) haha, here too
    Aphrodite Macbain: Masks continue to be confusing
    Riddle Sideways: here, most contruction people can go to work: clean hands stations, gloves, masks, sign-in contact lists,
    druth Vlodovic: I still haven't made a mask, nobody closer than Ottawa wears one
    Riddle Sideways: Hey Wol
    Aphrodite Macbain: Hiya Wol
    Eliza Madrigal: Hi Wol
    Aphrodite Macbain: nice hat!
    Wol Euler: thanks :)
    Riddle Sideways: have been given lots of homemade masks
    Eliza Madrigal: :))
    Wol Euler: hello everyone, sorry I'm late
    Bruce Mowbray: Hi, Wol and Luci.
    Qt Core: highly suggested in all italy mandatory in lombardy
    Aphrodite Macbain: I've lost the one I had
    Qt Core: hi WOl
    Mickorod Renard: Hi wol
    Eliza Madrigal: I'm in them every day... have a set in pretty interesting patterns
    Lucinda Lavender: sorry just getting face time from daughter
    Riddle Sideways: baby? Luci?
    Qt Core: i need to find some reusable ones but with the metalling think to close it well over the nose (to not make glasses foggy)
    Aphrodite Macbain: hard to eat with a mask...
    Lucinda Lavender: yes with baby
    Lucinda Lavender: ;
    Lucinda Lavender: 0
    Aphrodite Macbain: Hi Bleu
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Bleu Oleander: hi everyone :)
    druth Vlodovic: maybe a flexible metallic strip to shape it
    Riddle Sideways: :)))))
    Wol Euler: the discipline is good though
    Bruce Mowbray: es, foggy glasses are a problem for me, too.
    Qt Core: until then single use ones work better for me
    Lucinda Lavender: :)
    Riddle Sideways: Hey Bleu
    Wol Euler: (glasses, yes)
    Eliza Madrigal: pipe cleaners work for that nose part
    Wol Euler: hello bleu
    Eliza Madrigal: Hi Bleu
    druth Vlodovic: crafty
    Mickorod Renard: hi Bleu
    Qt Core: hi bleu
    Bruce Mowbray: I have lots of pipe cleaners. I'll try that.
    Bruce Mowbray: Hi, Bleu.

    Lenses

    Qt Core: between that kind of fog and the darkening lenses for the bright sun we have i become quite blind outside ;-)
    Riddle Sideways: ㋡
    Eliza Madrigal: filtering reality ^.^
    Bleu Oleander: ha like we always do!
    Wol Euler: indeed
    Eliza Madrigal: "Today I'd like the world to be buttery yellow..."
    Bruce Mowbray: :)
    Riddle Sideways: Seeing Being through Rose colored glasses
    Eliza Madrigal: truly
    Aphrodite Macbain: Rosy beings
    Eliza Madrigal: *^.^*
    Wol Euler: I have to go deliver a hug, brb


    Qt Core: the places "assaulted" after the reopening here in italy were three: hair stylists, pubs and bars for early evenings life and, more than everything else... Ikea shops
    Aphrodite Macbain: How do they protect themselves and their customers?
    druth Vlodovic: you'd think hardware stores
    Eliza Madrigal: don't think I'd be going to Ikea right now
    Aphrodite Macbain: wow Is it open?
    Eliza Madrigal: Hi Ara
    arabella Ella: Hiya!
    Bleu Oleander: hi Ara :)
    Riddle Sideways: oh to be in an uncrowded Ikea
    Qt Core: masks, gloves, disinfectant and limiting the people inside
    Eliza Madrigal: :)


    --BELL--


    Mickorod Renard: hi Ara
    Qt Core: Hi Ara
    Riddle Sideways: Hi Ara
    Eliza Madrigal: If they were limiting to 5 at a time maybe, but I'm sure that's not the case
    druth Vlodovic: lots of masks, gloves, limited number of customers at a time, and tons of clear plastic barriers
    druth Vlodovic: around here anyway
    Aphrodite Macbain: Must be hard to cut hair behind a plastic barrrier
    Eliza Madrigal: I guess we'll see... more and more, but I am concerned that in places like FL we aren't getting the real data
    Riddle Sideways: the sales of plastic barriers have gone way up
    Riddle Sideways: welcome back Wol
    Wol Euler: ty :)
    Wol Euler: mission accomplished :)
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Riddle Sideways: spent much of last week re-thinking dreams and and
    Qt Core: the most hard to find items around here now are the single use gloves, plenty of toilet paper, flour, hand sanitizers, and masks are coming
    Riddle Sideways: want dream session to start
    arabella Ella: so you still have shortages Qt?
    Wol Euler: did we agree a time and weekday for that?
    Riddle Sideways: nope
    Bleu Oleander: it seems shortages are spotty and due to supply chain issues
    Eliza Madrigal: :) I'd like to do dream sessions again too, but then was called back to work before being able to find a time....
    Mickorod Renard: I hear the Chinese are helping Italy out a bit
    Qt Core: just gloves at the moment, there were a shortage of masks the forst days of the state imposed price for disposable masks
    Qt Core: they came here pretty fast, was still March
    Qt Core: but there were people/machinery from other states too
    druth Vlodovic: could have sworn the dreams were in the billboards, but nope
    druth Vlodovic: we have odd shortages, and a lot of dented cans being sold
    Mickorod Renard: I tried making a mask with the sewing machine..I gave up
    Eliza Madrigal: odd shortages is a good way of describing it
    Aphrodite Macbain: dented cans?
    Eliza Madrigal: There are ways to make masks without sewing Mick
    druth Vlodovic: it is just to keep you from spitting on people when you talk, a scarf should do
    Riddle Sideways: And, could anybody explain why Tofu is missing from the stores?
    [I didn't see this comment before, Riddle, but I think it is due to meat production/distribution being disrupted or mistrusted]

    Eliza Madrigal: lol you can even make them out of bras
    arabella Ella smiles
    Aphrodite Macbain: I wouldn't wear that in public. :)
    Wol Euler: nicely decorative :)
    druth Vlodovic: I am not sure how many bras Mick has access to
    Bleu Oleander: just google mask without sewing ... lots
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Mickorod Renard: anyone wishing to send me their bras?
    arabella Ella: also with old socks
    Mickorod Renard: he he
    Eliza Madrigal: Oh, haven't seen the socks masks
    Wol Euler: or ... you could look aroujnd your neighbourhood for tailors and mending shops, and if any of them are offeirng masks then suppoort a local business
    arabella Ella: socks and no sewing just cutting
    Wol Euler: two birds with one mask
    Riddle Sideways: cut the sleeves off a T-Shirt
    druth Vlodovic: or the old robber scarf
    arabella Ella: cut the ends off sock, cut slits at sides for around ears
    Eliza Madrigal: the guys at my work are wearing bandanas... everyone looks like they want to hold up something
    Mickorod Renard: I wanted to try the machine as a project, but I lost patience
    druth Vlodovic: suddenly you get in trouble for going into a bank without a mask
    Riddle Sideways: Yes, go into the Bank
    Riddle Sideways: cowboy hats and bandanas
    arabella Ella: a lot of people here are wearing visors as it is very hot to wear a mask
    druth Vlodovic: hand sewing isn't hard to learn, and it should do the trick
    Mickorod Renard: I dont think my heart wit
    Eliza Madrigal: I do miss full faces
    Wol Euler: or (I say it again) support a local business :)
    Wol Euler: because they are suffering
    Eliza Madrigal: It is very hard to comfort someone smiling with just eyes
    arabella Ella: some artists here have painted their faces / mouths over their masks
    Lucinda Lavender: I am back now:)
    Eliza Madrigal: Oh, haven't seen that too...
    Bruce Mowbray: wb, Luci.
    Eliza Madrigal: WB Luci :)
    Riddle Sideways: how is baby?
    Qt Core: i've read about masks with transparent front, to help deaf people who read lips
    Wol Euler: oh that is interesting
    Lucinda Lavender: Baby is great! but grumpy at times
    Bruce Mowbray: Wow, that's a cool idea.
    Bruce Mowbray: (transparent mask, I meant);
    Aphrodite Macbain: I'm trying to shop at markets to support local farmers and reduce plastic but it's hard to always find what you want
    druth Vlodovic: I have seen people wearing them, just the barrier masks for using saws etc
    Lucinda Lavender: the pediatrician said yesterday that babyies are just angry generally at first
    arabella Ella: today i saw a picture of a mask with a slit to use in a restaurant as they are re-opening in many places
    Aphrodite Macbain: good for the lungs
    druth Vlodovic: "exercising his lungs"
    Aphrodite Macbain: (crying)
    Lucinda Lavender: yes:)
    Eliza Madrigal: first impression, "Lots to do around here, better get to growing!"
    Aphrodite Macbain: brb
    Lucinda Lavender: I have been going through vhs tapes from when my daughter was just born:)
    druth Vlodovic: self expression is important, that is why you don't always have to pick them up when they do it, particularly if they are colicky
    Riddle Sideways: awww

    --BELL--

    Eliza Madrigal: each is so different, always have to learn like the first time :)
    Qt Core: i've found negatives from when *I* was little, need to have them printed, absolutely
    Lucinda Lavender: . well it is hard when they are born a month early in a pandemic...knowing what is normal or of special concern is the thing
    Eliza Madrigal nods
    Qt Core: (only for part of the first week of lockdown i was under the "need to reorganize all the house" bug
    Lucinda Lavender: sorry belll:)
    Wol Euler: a month seems like a lot of early
    Aphrodite Macbain: bk
    Lucinda Lavender: same for me qt...organizing and cleaning...now less so.
    Santoshima Resident: excuse me, must go , bye ~
    Bruce Mowbray: Bye, San.
    Wol Euler: bye san, take care

    arabella Ella: bye San

    Eliza Madrigal: bye San
    Lucinda Lavender: he weighs 8 lbs and 4 oz now:)) up from 5.5 at birth
    Eliza Madrigal: Ah, that's great
    Lucinda Lavender: bye San:)

    Bruce Mowbray: Wonderful, Luci.

    Bleu Oleander: hey Steve :)
    Wol Euler: helloo stevie

    Riddle Sideways: some don't
    Riddle Sideways: ㋡
    Wol Euler: lol
    Lucinda Lavender: yeah..I wonder... do we teach them to have new pathways?
    Eliza Madrigal: I watched the Becoming video and was really touched when Michelle Obama said she never felt like her voice wasn't heard, because in her family it was always valued
    Wol Euler smiles.
    Lucinda Lavender: i remember when I was teachin g being introduced to the idea of squishy brain....encouraging new pathways rather than rigidity
    arabella Ella: lovely
    Bruce Mowbray: Cool.
    Bleu Oleander: I like her book
     

    Reaching out


    stevenaia Michinaga: Speaking of voices not heard...Has anyone heard from Eden? Been reaching out to her on my media w/ no luck?
    Bruce Mowbray: I have not heard from Eden.
    Bleu Oleander: haven't seen her in a while
    Riddle Sideways: not since anniversery
    Bruce Mowbray: How about Aggers?
    Eliza Madrigal: yes, talk to Eden a bit... she shared with us some worrisome news last time
    arabella Ella: yes what about Agatha?
    Aphrodite Macbain: She's in Montreal, no?
    stevenaia Michinaga: yes, Aph, the burbs
    Aphrodite Macbain: Things are bad in MOntreal
    Bruce Mowbray: Aggers came to a Bert meditation a few Sundays ago, but have not seen her since.
    Wol Euler: I heard from Aggers, she's fine, but not very communicative
    Bruce Mowbray: Ahhh! Thanks, Wol.
    Aphrodite Macbain: yes
    Eliza Madrigal: so my impression is that life has taken a shift for Eden and that's what she's focused on... yes, in Montreal
    stevenaia Michinaga: trying to contact Eden regarding her PaB land
    arabella Ella: good to hear Aggers is fine Wol!
    Mickorod Renard: yes

    Aphrodite Macbain: hope she's OK
    stevenaia Michinaga: true... can you communicate privately on twitter?
    druth Vlodovic: what is the shift, something we can talk about?
    stevenaia Michinaga: I tweet about once ever 4 years now
    Aphrodite Macbain: shift
    Aphrodite Macbain: ?
    Eliza Madrigal: She shared with us that her companion was feeling ill, having tests
    Bruce Mowbray: That's about as often as I do FB.
    stevenaia Michinaga: nods
    Wol Euler: well, fingers crossed.
    Riddle Sideways: yes
    Eliza Madrigal: She was worried the day she came, so I'm sure she welcomes the love sent
    Aphrodite Macbain: If she's on FB you can try and reach her there Steve
    Aphrodite Macbain: maybe
    stevenaia Michinaga: tried that a while ago
    Aphrodite Macbain: oh dear


    Eliza Madrigal: :::sending love and hugs to Eden::::

    Riddle Sideways: seems All in favor
    Aphrodite Macbain: by acclamation
    Eliza Madrigal: She reads logs a lot too, so if no one gets through, this might ^^
    Mickorod Renard: we could do with sending it in prose
    Aphrodite Macbain: fingers crossed
    Aphrodite Macbain: or as a poem
    Riddle Sideways: the early bell catches the chatters

    Bruce Mowbray: Hi, Eden -- assuming you're reading this.
    Lucinda Lavender: I remember that she likes flowers...maybe...roses? or lilacs? I forget. but i send the throught of them anyway.
    Aphrodite Macbain: "There was a young lass named Eden
    Eliza Madrigal: who is missed in the middle of our meetin'

    Eliza Madrigal: Aw, love it
    Qt Core: :-)
    Aphrodite Macbain: once the garden is weeded

    Aphrodite Macbain: It would be nice to have a poetry event....sigh
    Riddle Sideways: BTW - it is hard to teach the bots to weed the garden
    Aphrodite Macbain: oh?
    Aphrodite Macbain: why?
    stevenaia Michinaga: If anyone can, you can Riddle
    Wol Euler nods.
    Eliza Madrigal: The poets walk Montreal, hand in hand beneath Cohen's stare... snapping flowers, breathing moments, aware. <3
    Aphrodite Macbain: nice Eliza
    Eliza Madrigal: (some things from Eden's photos)
    arabella Ella: lovely Eliza!
     

    Cohen and Montreal


    Wol Euler: funny how he's become such an icon in retrospect
    Wol Euler: (cohen)
    Eliza Madrigal: true
    Aphrodite Macbain: and his songs/poems are oft quoted ..."that'show the light gets in"
    Eliza Madrigal: What are the bots working on now, Riddle? distributing the tp? ;-)
    Bruce Mowbray: I did not realize that Leonard Cohen was from MOntreal.
    Aphrodite Macbain: as long as COVID 19 doesn't get in
    stevenaia Michinaga: my spouse used to see him "around" when she was at McGill
    Aphrodite Macbain: I was at macGill. I took one of the first CanLit courses and he was in it
    Wol Euler: student, lecturer or subject? :)
    Aphrodite Macbain: He was so romantic!
    Aphrodite Macbain: lecturer and subject

    Aphrodite Macbain: Is that a quote Riddle?
    Wol Euler: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spice-Box_of_Earth
    Aphrodite Macbain: Thanks Wol :)
    Eliza Madrigal: I love that line, "Thanks for the trouble you took from her eyes. I thought it was there, for good, so I never tried..." Brilliant
    Aphrodite Macbain: :)
    Eliza Madrigal clicks
    Aphrodite Macbain: I can hear his voice even now- gravely and slightly off key :)
    Eliza Madrigal smiles

    Eliza Madrigal nods nods
    Aphrodite Macbain: I'm glad we have our archives
    Wol Euler: it's slightly more complicated now, with mesh bodies
    Lucinda Lavender: I have her RL email.
    Eliza Madrigal: I need to donate most of Eliza's clothes and start fresh
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Lucinda Lavender: maybe I should try contacting her
    Aphrodite Macbain: who will you donate them to?
    stevenaia Michinaga: Paradise is homebound working,
    Lucinda Lavender: if you can please say I wish her the best
    arabella Ella: are you in contact with Paradise Steve? Please give her my best wishes if you are please!
    Lucinda Lavender: I will see if my address works
    stevenaia Michinaga: I'll tell her you were asking when we write, I tell her about Wednesdays
    Aphrodite Macbain: I remember we had tea and chocolate cake when I was there years ago

    Lucinda Lavender: now is a good time for checking in with people I have been feeling
    stevenaia Michinaga: I'll send it to you Luci
    Wol Euler nods.
    Eliza Madrigal nods
    Lucinda Lavender: Yay!
    Riddle Sideways: yes, been calling lots of remote friends

    Aphrodite Macbain: He's in Hawaii no?
    arabella Ella: I know he was in Hawaii
    arabella Ella: anyone in contact with him?
    Lucinda Lavender: thought of him just the other day
    Mickorod Renard: not for ages
    Eliza Madrigal: He was involved in a lot of community work last I heard
    Bruce Mowbray: Well, good people, stay safe, help everyone you can, and enjoy this day on Planet Earth. Bye for now.
    Mickorod Renard: I found some herbs he sent me in my cupboard the other day
    Eliza Madrigal: Bye Bruce :)) you too
    stevenaia Michinaga: We spoke (Paradise and me) last year during the volcano, which was very close but down wind from him

    arabella Ella: yes
    Lucinda Lavender: yes
    Eliza Madrigal nods
     

    A time for dreams


    Eliza Madrigal: Riddle, before we go... about a dream session, if there's a time that would be good for you and others interested, I could post the sessions and come when able?
    Riddle Sideways: ok
    Riddle Sideways: not heard from any others tho
    Eliza Madrigal: I guess I can ask in email, for interest, with some time slots you give me
    Eliza Madrigal: Alma expressed interest I think, and Tura, did you?
    Aphrodite Macbain: How is your new job Eliza?
    Riddle Sideways: 1300 is good
    Wol Euler nods.
    Aphrodite Macbain: Does it use up a lot of time?
    Eliza Madrigal: unpredictable so far
    Eliza Madrigal: so I have time, but I never know when it is
    Aphrodite Macbain: so hard to schedule?
    Tura Brezoianu: I'm not sure I knew about it, but yes, I'd be up for a dreams session
    Aphrodite Macbain: frustrating
    Eliza Madrigal: yes... but I can post the sessions when I couldn't make it
    stevenaia Michinaga: Bleu, can you post it on one of those boards?
    Eliza Madrigal nods... it will take a while to have a predictable schedule
    Riddle Sideways: Riddle could post sessions, but they are always a week late and a dollar short
    Eliza Madrigal smiles
    Eliza Madrigal: either way, both either and
    Lucinda Lavender: I would like to come
    Lucinda Lavender: 13:00 is good for me to
    Eliza Madrigal: nice, so we just need a friendly time
    Riddle Sideways: what are good days Tura and Luci?
    Lucinda Lavender: most days
    Riddle Sideways: Thursday is only bad day of week
    Riddle Sideways: retirement means every day is available
    Wol Euler smiles.
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Lucinda Lavender: How regular of a thing are you thinking
    Lucinda Lavender: ?
    Eliza Madrigal: another good question :)
    Aphrodite Macbain: weekly?
    Aphrodite Macbain: or monthly?
    Riddle Sideways: start weekly and then see
    Eliza Madrigal: believe it or not, weekly is usually easier, because people get into routine, so not as hard to keep track of
    Riddle Sideways: or what the turn out is and wants
    Tura Brezoianu: Any evening (UK time), at least while lockdown continues. Not Mon or Wed once it's safe for groups to gather and sweat at each other.
    Eliza Madrigal: lol
    Eliza Madrigal: you'll get back to drumming, Tura?
    Lucinda Lavender: :)
    Riddle Sideways: gets an image
    Tura Brezoianu: at some point, I hope

    Thanks Eliza for pointing to this log a while ago on Twitter. And thanks everyone for the love & fingers crossed & good wishes.Leonard Cohen’s songs are always in our hearts in Montreal, grateful to read some of his lyrics in this log. Friends, family & neighbors are all COVID free, thankfully. My companion is at home,suffering from metastasis cancer. It is a shock: he has never been sick in his whole life and felt some back pain in January. It persisted through our vacation in Cuba in February and went to a doctor in March. He had PET-Scans, biopsy, radiotherapy that eased his back pain but chemotherapy couldn’t help much his pronostic of survival: 6 months. It’s quite a shock.He has great doctors & will receive palliative care at home.We have a very supportive network of family, friends & neighbors, but as the prime caretaker, I’m doing my best to enlighten his days & help him face what is ahead, as heart broken as I may be. Steve, you can reach me at my videotron email.Eliza has it if you lost it. Stay safe everyone and a big virtual group hug to all of you.
