Well folks, here we are in Tier 4, along with most of the rest of England. Even the Isle of Wight has joined us in the high echelons of covid-19 restrictions. However, this could just be “the storm before the lull”. A second vaccine has been approved. However, I expect it will be a long storm, if only because of the logistics of vaccinating an entire population.
Our revered prime minister has, at long last, come to a trade deal with Europe much to the dissatisfaction of numerous “disappointed” politicians and others. My complaint was the (and I’m sure it was) contrived leaving us all in suspense to almost the last minute, more than likely in an effort to avoid further debate. So, from today, we are “on our own”, and we shall just have to wait and see how things turn out. But I am relieved that this particular “cliff-hanger” has been resolved.
Yesterday was a “much-of-a-muchness” kind of day, with unfulfilled good intentions. I had planned to carry on with cataloging my collection, but never quite got around to it. No more snow fell, but outside, it remained icy, and falling over could have far reaching consequences, even if I am “well padded”.
As you can see from the photographs, this morning, the last day of 2020, is bright, sunny, and even “inviting” outside.
With all good wishes, and, again, thanks for reading,
David, 09.40hrs 31/12/20.
