Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, it did. Any other democracy, whose leader incited insurrection, would be immediately removed from office but the USA laws and constitution make everything so long and complicated. Trump could resign but he needs time to pardon Giuliano and his sons, let alone try to pardon himself, so it is not likely.
It was shameful to watch the Capitol being invaded with no intervention from the security services. Had they been told to stay away by the President or by those who didn't want to go against Trump's supporters? While all the drama is going on, nearly 5000 people are dying every day in the USA from Covid 19. While Trump was swiftly condemned by many leaders around the world, Putin and Erdogan gloated and Boris Johnson reluctantly called out Trump on his second try.
Vaccinations are being given out everywhere, millions in the UK, hundreds of thousands in Germany and other countries and in France they reached the dizzying heights of 46,000. Apparently France's bureaucracy meant that everyone had to be examined by their GP, a form had to be completed, and the ok given by the GP that someone could receive the vaccine. The other night Macron said that people would be able to register, by telephone or online, their interest in receiving the vaccine. We are still waiting for the details.
I fell off the draining board the other day onto a rather hard tiled floor. Because of the stupid design of my kitchen the only way I can clean the windows is by climbing onto the draining board and when I stepped back onto the chair I had placed there, it slid away across the floor and I fell unhindered. Amazingly, although initially hurt the discomfort soon went away and the next day I felt nothing. Someone could make a fortune if they started a window cleaning business. If I am confined for much longer I may take up my own challenge.
I ordered a cover for the bikes from Amazon before Christmas and it was duee to be deliverred on 6 January, which Amazon clearly thinks it was as they took money andd asked me to review the producct. Using the tracking facility I see that my package left dKent went to Swansea and bacj to Kent, where dit presumably still is as no further information is given. My son sent me a package in October which never arrived, nor did the one he sent to Norway. My sister's oiChristmas car disappeared somewhere and will my son get his birthday card that I sent in Decembeer?
