The future is bright

The sun shone today! So the regulation daily walk was reinstated, and with it the daily vine blip. Sorry if you are bored with these.

Globally, someone seems to have switched 2020 off and on again. What encouraging news about the vaccine developed by a German company founded by the children of Turkish immigrants. The new hopeful environment is only slightly dimmed by a) Priti Patel proudly announcing the official end of free movement, allegedly according to "the will of the British people", and Lord Potatoface referring to Kamala Harris as "the Indian". I don't see why I should give him his proper name, and at least mine is an accurate description.
