Hello everyone. I've had a busy day today. I went to Karen's today and we had some hot chocolate and then later this afternoon Marg came up for tea and chocolates (she brings her own tea) and eats my chocs, which I don't mind cos she does plenty for me. Then I finished it off with a video watts app with Josephine. I've been catching up with Karen and Andrew as to what dates we can start our road map of getting back to some normality. I think sometime in April, community centers can be used. Well, that could mean a knitting session.

I'm a bit concerned about this row with EU over the vaccines. It looks like if there's any trouble, then Stephen and Richard could be waiting a long time for their jab. Why do countries have to go on like this when we are all in the same kind of trouble?

I've got to send my power bill reading in to the suppliers today. Before I forget.

Oh forgot to tell you. Marg went to sainsburys this morning and when she was walking round, she noticed she had odd shoes on......one navy and the other black. She's very tired lately. I hope she's not losing the plot as well as me. Cos we'd both be up the Swanee without a paddle.

Love yawl. Stay safe. Xxx

Good morning from Port Hope Ontario Canada. It is 6:42 am EDT and 9'C (48'F). It rained all night and thundered occasionally, waking me up several times. This is our high temperature for the day. It will be dropping all day. We also have a special weather warning for 40mm of rain in 24 hours.
Our new covid number is 2380. Positivity is 4%. Experts are asking for a provincial shutdown again. 50% of the new cases are variants. We have 2 more cases in this area.
We have managed to vaccinate 75K people in this province yesterday. 11% of the population has received at least one shot. Our shipment of Moderna has been delayed by 3 days but 30K vaccination appointments are still available for next week. Toronto has opened a drive through vaccination clinic in the parking lot of the theme park north of Toronto. It looks like we will be vaccinating the migrant agricultural workers who come to this country to help with our growing season. Last year we had problems with some farmers who had to workers go into the fields before their quarantine period was up. We have rapid tests for the variants first detected in the UK and Brazil, so people don't have to wait a week to find out if they have a variant case.
I missed a parking lot knitting session last night. Our temperature got up to 18'C (64'F), setting a new record warm temperature. I didn't get the email until the end of the session. Only 4 people showed up, so I'm thinking a lot of people didn't get the email in time. It would have been nice to sit and knit outside with others.
I broke a plate this morning that shattered all over the kitchen. I swept up what I can see. I'll run the vacuum over the floor once everyone is up.
I started the next colour on my summer tee (gray).
