Rainbow

Back blip yesterday:

First thing in the morning I had volunteering business in Chertsey so I set off up the M3 and around the M25. The traffic was surprisingly light. Working from home has definitely made a difference to the number of cars on the road. I was twenty minutes early so I took a walk in search of a blip. Seek and ye shall find, they say. The local church - St Peter's - has only just reopened after a major refurbishment and to celebrate members of the community have made a Flower Tower art installation to drape at the front entrance: https://stpeterschertsey.org.uk/flower-tower/ . Nothing beats colours organised according to the rainbow. On the theme of colour I also rather liked the nicely decorated flower shop on the main street (see extra). So in the end I was spoiled for choice with my photographs. The meetings went well and I was back for a late lunch.  

Back home I pottered. My arm is improving and I am 'coughing better' (as my father liked to say) but I still don't feel completely fighting fit.  I did however stay up to watch Partygate: Inside No 10's Infamous Lockdown Party; the Channel 4 dramatization of what went on in number 10 during Johnson's reign. There was nothing that I didn't already know (I perused the Sue Gray report when it came out) but seeing the unseemly carousing being acted out, interspersed with clips of people describing how they had lost family members, made me despair of the people who were supposed to be responsible for the welfare of the country. Many are no longer in Downing Street but most seem to have found employment (and large salaries) elsewhere. It's not what you know or even how you behave but who you know and sticking with them. Thank goodness for the journalists who are prepared to lift the manhole covers and peer into the sewers.
