Back home, it would be, You want some tea? Why, I’m not ill.
My family drinks it, regardless, any time.

Going off the taste of tea in England a sure sign of illness or pregnancy!

True – being English my posts can be a little self-deprecating and touched with irony which I admit is not necessarily obvious – it’s me – I write the words that come to me. All the best. Eric.

A great piece Eric. In a few words it captures how we live today. What can I say? I hope everyone is ok.

We are all fine thank you, G – both my daughters have now had the Pfizer vaccine which is a relief, it’ll be about another month for old baldy me so I’ll keep my head down and my hat on too! I hope I find you well and mobile, and all you care for too.

That’s good news Eric I am glad to hear.
I am ok. My ankle is still swelling and I am not ready to walk on the treadmill, but other than that everything is fine. As for the vaccine, everything is a mess here. I have no idea when I am going to get it.. in the fall? Next year? You can guess I am not happy.
But I am happy for you guys. Stay safe. Have a beautiful evening.
