The beginning of the end... maybe

Mask mandates and vaccine passports come to an end as of next week! Hoo-bloody-ray! It's a start - and, of course, it's only happening because Boris needed to save his own sorry skin after the party debacle but, given where we are, I'll take it.

I imagine he's looking for a few Brownie points with Sue Grey before her report comes out next week. To avoid answering questions at the moment he's still hiding behind her skirts. Such a dignified leader...

Unsurprisingly the BBC and the usual suspects are still banging the Covid drum, same as they've been doing for nearly two years, reporting stories about unjabbed people dying or having the virus while pregnant. Project Fear will take a long time to die down in some quarters. It's become a way of life for them.

It's astonishing to hear so many people saying the restrictions shouldn't be lifted. Are they enjoying this? How long do they want it to go on for?! 

Removing the mask mandate doesn't stop them wearing a mask - they can wear as many as they like; they can wear a wetsuit and a diver's helmet if that's what they want, but some of us would like to move on and reclaim what's left of our lives.

This may not be the end but we seem to be heading in the right direction...

We were looking out of the window at the sky the night before last - it was bitterly cold and cloudless; a full moon and Orion were clearly visible and Sirius was twinkling brightly in amongst a myriad others. 

It really gave clarity and perspective to the complete mess we've endured for two years. A mess that was entirely avoidable and can be laid squarely at Boris's door. He's a fool.
