The Queen isn't mad - the Queen is disappointed (Quarantine Day 7)
Most of you might not know this, Denmark is a monarchy. One of the oldest in the World, which makes me very happy.The head of this monarchy is Margrethe Alexandrine Þórhildur Ingrid, or simply Queen Margrethe the 2nd. She also goes by the name Daisy. She is the supreme authority of the Church of Denmark and commander-in-chief of the Danish Defense.
And she is amazing! She was supposed to celebrate her 80th birthday this year, but due to the Corona virus, she decided to cancel. An utmost admirable thing to do, by Her Majesty.
She very rarely talk to us, only during New Years Eve, so when it was announced, that she would be talking to the nation at 8 pm (prime time here), everyone were going "Errrr... What's going on, here?"
So what did she say? Just what basically everyone have told us: "Stay at home if you feel sick, or even if you don't feel sick".. It's not rocket science, either. If we want to stop the spread of this virus, we need to abide by the law. Incidentally, I watched a video from Benidorm yesterday. Benidorm, if you didn't know, is in Spain. In the European Union. The video showed a bunch of English tourists, going about their business, being PROPER Englishmen. That involves heavy drinking, singing in the streets, and generally being a bunch of blithering, stupid, monstrous a**-hats. The video is here, for your "enjoyment"
Can we not, for ONE second, just act NORMAL? There is a virus out there, killing people, but the first guy in the video goes "It's just a flu that people need to get over..".. NO!!! It's NOT just a "flu that people need to get over". But, that is too many words for that blithering idiot to get..
Alright, calm down Philipsen..
In other, less frustrating news.. My cabin fever is starting to go away. I now have a lot of things to do, which in turn keeps me active and busy. That way, the days fly by faster. Yesterday, for instance, I played a BUNCH of Farming Simulator 19. I am in the middle of seeding two fields with soybeans. After a few in-game hours, it's ready to harvest (I know that the real crop takes months to grow, but this is a video game, so they are allowed to tweak the time).
I will return to the game today, to finish planting. Then I will harvest it, and redo the entire process.
It'll be fun!
