With all my carers Learning Sessions cancelled for the foreseeable future I started thinking about how I could keep in touch with you all, and offer some positive tips for coping with this unique situation we are all finding ourselves in.
So my idea is to publish a weekly blog containing some good news stories along with hints and tips for keeping well.
There's no shortage of advice out there - social media is awash with stuff, which can be quite overwhelming. I hope to be able to pick out positive things to share every week.
If you find something worth sharing - please email me, and I'll try and include it in my blog. mairi@northargyllcarers.org.uk
So, although this is Thursday, here's my first blog post :)
This was definitely yesterday's good news story for me! : https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/health/coronavirus/leith-gin-distillery-suspends-production-make-hand-sanitiser-2482240
And now our very own Mull Gin Company are doing the same: https://www.facebook.com/whitetailgin/ Well done Whitetail Gin
And for all you budding singers who haven't got round to applying to the X Factor yet, Lucy from the Dove Centre sent me a link to this great project - https://www.thesofasingers.net/
We can all be 'Sofa Singers' - what fun!
Have you seen your first wee lambs yet? Keep looking when you're out walking. We're so fortunate to live in this beautiful part of the world and have all the space to walk outside.
Find a little thing to make you smile. Mairi
