WEEK 51 and a half: CORNAVIRUS LOCKDOWN UPDATE

Today is St Davids's Day and the TV news pointed out that it was a year ago today that the first coronavirus case was noted in Scotland, i.e. formally recorded.

Today it seems so very far away and yet it has gone quite fast.  We were not in Lockdown at this time last year but were watching and waiting.

Today they are isolating people who have arrived from Brazil as the Brazil variant is highly transmissible. They now have quarantine hotels (where 3 cases in Aberdeen have been picked up).  However there is one positive case known about but cannot be traced as the form was filled in incorrectly.  I guess it will be ever thus from now on.

Alastair, 13, Harriet, 7 and Ellie, 6 behind John on their Saturday hike this week.

Ellie and I play Snakes and Laddes a lot. We have a very fluid set of rules, i.e.   they keep changing depending on who is winning.  It drives Harriet mad! (Yes, maddening, I know!) But Ellie and I have heaps of fun going up snakes and down ladders or starting at the top and working backwards; there are no end of possibilities... as long as she wins, of course.  I accept that form of logic ... but it only works when the 2 of us play!
