More rain

Yet more rain! The prophecy that winters would become milder and summers cooler and wetter due to climate change is certainly evidenced here this June and July.

I had to visit a bank today. Standing in the rain and wearing a mask I joined the other masked customers to conclude a contraction that could not be done on line. There was a time when a masked customer in a bank could be up to no good!

T’s phone finally failed so we went on to a masked visit to the phone shop. Our upgrades there resulted in cheaper deals and a six month voucher for a video channel that might appeal to the grandchildren! While we were out I put fuel in the car too - for the first time since March.

All three of these everyday events pre pandemic were suddenly wrapped in a fog of unfamiliarity liberally laced with hand sanitiser and muffled by masks.

ManU kept us all on edge re their top four finish. Liverpool lifted their Premiership Trophy in an empty stadium. These are indeed very unfamiliar times for us all.
