Wow! It’s gorgeous outside as I try to look back over the last five days, during which time it had been cold, wet, and windy, as well as misty for much of yesterday. Suddenly, that mist lifted revealing a fine afternoon. Last week, which again “flew” by seemed pretty routine, except that very sadly, I learned that three former work colleagues had died since January this year, at least one due to Covid 19. Although all were quite a bit older than I am, I do feel slightly wary! Feeling that “life was short”, I decided to book a voyage in 2023 to celebrate the centenary of world cruises, and just managed to secure the last available single cabin, mid-ships on Deck 2. I am assuming the Covid crisis will have passed by that time and that social distancing will be history.
Back to this week, it seems as if the “road map” out of Lockdown Three is, so far, on schedule and there might be some kind of normality at the end of June. It will be a pleasant change to return to writing from different parts of the country, and eventually from far-off lands. Right now, it’s hard to believe such days are just around the corner.
