Diary 70
Wednesday, May 27th
Ten weeks. We should probably be prepared for a long haul with this disease – yes, even longer than it’s already been.
But, lest we forget, we have another issue to face: global climate change. To deal with this we need to be working together as a whole, all of us, the whole world.
Our ‘president’ is only good at sowing division, discord, and isolating this country from the rest of the world. We cannot, as a species, afford that.
On a much happier note, my twin grandchildren were two today. A small gathering of friends and family included the release of two freshly-hatched butterflies, that their friend Paige (aged 5) had nurtured from caterpillars. The pictures show in blurry cinema verité style, one of the butterflies (a Red Admiral) perching on Paige’s finger before flying away, and one in which you can see it take flight.
Really, it was a beautiful moment. Let me never forget it.
