Sunday 13 September
We had brunch in the Pear Orchard again in the countryside. Many calories, the utensils in wood are terrible, must remember to take our own cutlery next time, but it was a delicious veggie breakfast. On the way home we stopped off to pick up some grasses, plants for narrow border on the front drive, instead of a large and obstructive privet hedge, which we needed to dig out.
Unfortunately Clair decided to forgo wearing garden gloves and snipped her hand quite deeply with some garden clippers, ouch, enough to make me feel faint and weak in the knees. she had to administer her own first aid.
My brother Jim called to discuss the bombshell announcement that my twin sister is divorcing her husband.
After that a quiet rest of the afternoon.

What’s clear to all citizens on planet earth is that testing for Covid-19 is the only way we can manage the pandemic in some way and keep as many of our vulnerable people safe. Because we never anticipated such a virus spreading across the earth, we’re not prepared. The latest news that was announced last week in relation to the UK government’s moonshot, which assumes that we will be able to have testing at home, which takes just 20–90 minutes. This would be the game changer the world needs. Being able to test yourself at home would ensure that you can go about your business as needed.

It’s my Birthday!!
A fairly peaceful day and then we went for a meal out, only the second meal out since the reopening after lockdown. We were just 6 of us, so that was okay. Very bizarre experience with the waitresses. They were wearing screen shields and were very awkward in terms of handing over plates and drinks. Anyway, it was a nice enough meal.
It was also my twin sister’s birthday, who celebrated it in London with her daughter who had a new baby boy, Jude!

Operation Moonshot?
Do we trust them? NO
Do we believe them? NO
Will it happen? Probably NOT!
But they still announced it and I wanted to capture it.

Will this be the story that will finally cause the downfall of Donald Trump? Unlikely, but they are trying.

Local lockdown measures all around us! We live in an area called Wyre Forest, based in Worcestershire, U.K. The no of Covid case has been climbing steadily over the past few weeks, just like across the rest of the country. we were at just between 6–8 for months and all of a sudden, we’re spiking between 18–24 cases per 100,000. But the counties all around us are even higher, which is quite worrying indeed.
