Cases on the up

Absolutely Callistemon. I saw the first primroses whilst out walking today.
Awareness and care about the many threats to our, and others well-being and existence, without cancelling out any positive experiences is quite possible. I don’t believe it’s indulgent, in fact I appreciate more, things which I may previously taken for granted.

I see Scotland are keeping rules for face coverings in shops and public transport until April due to the rise in cases.
Another critical incident was declared at our local general hospitals last weekend, the fourth this year. This means they cannot admit patients and appointments are cancelled. Covid is still alive and well here!

Covid is alive and well everywhere. I’m very unhappy about this free for all that the government are allowing.

Last week we spent two hours in the back garden bird watching with some Ukrainians. It was wonderful to hear the little girl laugh at the robins. I was a bit apprehensive in case our guests thought we were somehow making light of, or ignoring, their problems.

In the words of the Mum 'Please, Ukraine and everything happening, and the worry, is always inside us. But we would go mad if sometimes we did not try to think of something else. And I do not want my daughter to be always frightened. We must try to do ordinary things so we are not always wondering what is to come.'

Sometimes it is good to take a step back and think about something else.
