Quite a while ago, I cleaned out random scraps of fabric I'd been saving for far too long. A friend of mine took a piece of yardage I'd bought at a local market in Saint-Martin-du-Crau in Provence in 1999. What with every scrap of usable fabric being sewn into masks, it was no surprise that this piece would wind up being so useful. As my friend wrote, "Thought you’d appreciate knowing your fabric has become lifeboats—and stylish ones at that!"
Speaking of masks, on my few recent shopping trips - one every two weeks or so - I've noticed that not everyone is wearing a mask. That seems very inconsiderate to me, but I'd never confront a mask-less person and give them a Tsk! Tsk! One gal struck me as being odd: she didn't have a mask, but she was wearing gloves. I'd like to know the reasoning in her personal germ theory.
I'm still pondering my own germ theory as far as sanitizing goes. I have one friend who tells me she prepares a mild bleach solution and wipes down everything she brings home from the supermarket - everything - including cereal boxes and the like. To me, that's extreme. I do wonder, however, where and when, among all the various steps we take to shop and get the groceries home, do we sanitize - gloves or none.
The supermarkets have people at the door sanitizing the shopping cart handles (That's "buggy" handles if you're a Southerner.) One bright gal was using the same wipe for several carts. So, the handle is sanitized, you hope, but then you go and buy the groceries, touching an unknown number of items a you shop. You check out, you get to your car. Do you sanitize your hands before you touch the door handle? After all, you could be touching that handle again sooner than you expect. Do you then sanitize your hands before you touch the steering wheel? Do you sanitize your hands before you touch the handle of your door at home? "Etc., etc., and so forth." I don't think we'll ever have the answers.
Stay busy - stay happy - stay well. 🌈
