That's is true... I actually like these quarantine days. We just have nothing to do. Seems like life has stopped moving. May God help us all. Good work

My problem is that I don't know how to say NO, so I get lumbered with lots of other people's work :) Regards // paul

Agree it can sometimes be good. Think there is subtle difference between deciding to do nothing, to sit down and relax, and boredom. However takes nothing away from the wonderful piece you have produced for us. Best regards David
