Another farmyard expression that rang true this afternoon as we drove the geese to the duck pond. One “silly goose” decided to go off in the wrong direction and J had to chase after her and carry her under his arm .

The gender recognition certificate review and transgender issues have become toxic areas of debate with “no platforming of academics” who dare to raise their voices or even ask for a civilised discussion on these issues. I rushed home from “open air” Tai Chi at the Riverside Park in order to listen to the live streaming from Parliament.

It was a foggy, early morning trip down to London but it was good to see mum looking well

Then, a surprise for mum, two of her great grandchildren arrived. School was closed but not because of Covid but due to a heating failure. Mum was thrilled to see them.

The other great grandson shared his latest idea on WhatsApp

My lovely niece, one of mum’s four grown up grandchildren, is performing in a Covid secure, Soho burlesque show tonight. She goes by the name of Lulu LaRouge!

A dear friend in Miami arranged a zoom call this evening (her afternoon). It was wonderful to see her after such a long time. She works six days a week as director of a vital kosher food bank and services centre. She is a big hearted, warm, kind and fun loving woman and she not only directs operations but has to raise more and more money and donations to cater for the growing need during the global pandemic. Good luck Bonnie. May you stay strong and healthy so that you can continue to help all those families who rely upon the food parcels and children’s toys, and more, to make their lives bearable in these difficult days.
