The leaves are mostly gone now.
It was raining when I got up, but by the time I went out, the weather had pulled away to the east and the morning sun was making the drips sparkle on the leaves.
I hope we can get vaccinated, but there’s still a long way to go, especially for nations at the back of the queue. To the casual observer (me), the current lockdown is not noticeably different from how things were a couple of weeks ago. Are we taking this seriously enough? I suspect even a return to the old furlough scheme may not be enough to reassure those on low pay and worried about keeping going.
