I am now free to leave my apartment after being cooped up for two days. Five minutes ago I received the result of yet another test but at least it was free. In the UK I paid £85 for two tests, half the amount many folks are paying for just one test. I have to thank my son for that with his shopping around. The ferry on Tuesday was like the Marie Celeste, no trucks and very few cars but it still took over an hour to get through passport control. People just don't have the right paperwork or if they do they can't find it, not on their phones nor buried under all the stuff in their cars.
It is a year since Trump launched a coup in the States and yet, not only is he still free, he is the frontrunner to be selected by the Republicans as the next president. Have they no shame or sense of pride?
I turned another year older on Sunday but for a change I was with my family and actually got presents. Very nice day. For Christmas one of my sons bought me a new GPS. It took me until my birthday to work out how to use it. One of my sisters, who doesn't have a computer, a tablet or even a mobile phone, is obsessed with the number of cards she gets for her birthday and Christmas. She marched down to the post office and complained that last year she had received 21 cards but this year she only got 19. Not the fault of the post office. I am guilty for one missing card as I didn't send out any this year.
During my 3 week sojourn in the UK it rained every day except one. Today in Saumur it is blue sky and sunshine. Says it all really.
