Almost a year

It's a year next week since everyone over 70 was told to stay at home for the foreseeable because of a virus. A week later the entire country went into lockdown for three weeks "to flatten the curve". Three weeks.

And yet here I sit, best part of a year on. Older, greyer and more anxious than ever, still wittering to myself about nothing in particular while those in charge (allegedly) carry on making a balls of it. A year on.

Some of the comments I've read online recently about the Covid 'vaccine' have got me flummoxed. Here's the thing... if you've had the 'vaccine' why would you complain about others not keeping to the current rules?  "People are out without wearing masks", "On a sunny day our local park is full of Covidiots" and "Social distancing seems non-existent now".

Ok. Let me get this straight; you've been 'vaccinated', meaning they're no threat to you and you're no threat to them... so what's the problem? It makes no sense. Unless, of course, it's not actually a vaccine and it's offering you no real protection?

Answers on a postcard please - I'm clearly missing something crucial in their logic.

Oh, I see Dr Death is in the news again warning of a "Third wave" of Covid sometime later this year. I think he's just afraid of losing the importance and status that Covid has given him - he's been getting off on this for the past year, he's not giving it up without a fight. He'll have us two metres apart and wearing masks forever if he has his way. Boris needs to slap him down.

Media is heaving today with the Meghan and Harry nonsense... It was never going to go well, was it? A weak, immature, pampered prince being worked from behind by a media-hungry narcissist who thought she was bigger than the Royal Family. You were wrong there, luv! But it has knocked Covid down the news pecking order, so I suppose the two mouthy ingrates do have some sort of use. Quite refreshing to see something else being talked about even if it is those two numpties...

I do feel sorry for the Queen, though. She really doesn't need all this while the Duke of Edinburgh is still in hospital. 

In the spirit of finding good news wherever I can... West Ham won last night and are now fifth in the table!
