1st December 2021
Today is the first of December - the official start of summer in Australia and almost the corresponding offical start of winter in the UK. It is raining non stop in Queensland, and is freezing and storms in UK. But that is OK, and to be expected - I can handle that.
But I am now 74 - in fact nearly 74 1/2 !! I have had a great life, travelling all over the world, we have 3 fantastic children and 6 (+2) gorgeous grandchildren. More recently I have been able to drive all over the world, and even competed in the 2019 Peking to Paris before the world shut down with Covid. How lucky I was to fit all that in before the world went crazy ?
This week, just as we were getting used to Delta. the Omicron strain has reared its head, and once again all the plans for re-opening the country and the world are in turmoil until "the experts" determine how "bad" it is.
