Test Number 5.

This morning I had my fifth test for Covid-19, which pitched up as ‘negative’. It’s what I expected it to be, having been nowhere where is a large, unmasked crowd, and had both jabs, but like the majority of the populas, I get a little worried when fatigue sets in, and lasy me low for a while. My lovely step-daughter provided both myself and my wife with testing kits, and my wife having been a nurse for forty-five years, made sure we did the whole thing correctly.

Fear, can be a debilitating force when one feels low, and today it brought me to my knees. I’m about to go for a longish walk, (in the rain), as it happens, that at least always makes me feel better. have a good weekend one and all.

A Third Wave

Both my wife and I are fully vaccinated, and recently we had a difficult decision to make when two treasured friends (Husband and wife), invited us for supper, BUT neither of them had been ‘jabbed’, and for their own reasons, have both decided to refuse vaccination. I fully respect their choice, and love them dearly, but it made me wonder how many friends and families have been divided be a decision such as this?

My suspicions are that the social divisions brought about by this global pandemic are going to last much longer that the waves of infections, and in some cases it will no doubt, separate long term friendships and relationships forever, adding to the pain and misery of the global community.
