Feest Isolation Days –11 March 2021
The storm is on its way. It’s dark and a bit windy, but as of yet we haven’t had the full force of the winds. They are heading our way though and today will be an indoor sort of day!
The latest fallout from the Meghan and Harry Oprah interview is a response from the Queen. In sixty one words she answered the two hour interview.
‘The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan.
‘The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. Whilst some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately. Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much-loved family members.’
“While some recollections may vary” is bound to become a response that is used by many over the coming weeks! One of the outcomes of all of this is that Piers Morgan stormed off of Good Morning and resigned over a verbal altercation about this on set. At least all this drama takes us away from Covid for a minute or two.
Professor Chris Whitty and Sir Patrick Vallance both spoke to a Parliamentary Committee yesterday about the country’s response to the virus. When asked if the government was following the SAGE advice, Sir Patrick replied, “broadly”. Another response to keep tucked up our sleeves! Chris Whitty explained why the dates for unlocking have been set and why the government won’t change them. Backbench MPs will be pushing at those dates but let’s hope that the response they get remains firm. We all want this Lockdown to end and life to go back to normal, but we must be patient. Follow the science; remember, backbench MPs, it led to that jab in your arm and the fall of cases!
By the end of March, we will be able to visit with another household in our own gardens. Let’s hope the winds and the rain blow themselves out now so that becomes possible in a few weeks. We all need to keep up the effort that has been ongoing for nearly a year for a while yet.
The swimming pools will be open soon! I for one am looking forward to getting back in the water. For now, I will have to settle for watching other people swim. This is an impressive team of Artistic Swimmers at the Artistic Swimmers World Series 2021. No, I didn’t know there was one of those either. The commentary is excellent as well.
Enjoy! Stay safe. The pandemic isn’t over yet but we are getting there!
With love,
