Wednesday 9th 60-72F, bright sunshine with only a little cloud. A warm and sunny day is promised.And was duly served up by the bucket full.
A warm walk to the lanes. A distant bird of prey defied my camera. So I snapped away at the blossom in the hedges and on the verges. The processionary moths are back for the umpteenth time in the same roadside hedge. They leave the bushes covered in unsightly cobwebs.
The warblers are still chattering away everywhere I go. There are so many delightful variations in their voices.
According to newspaper reports, the richest men in the world pay no [or almost no] income tax. Which means that all income tax, of the working classes, is a redistribution of wealth from the poor to the ultra rich. The Reverse Robin Hood Syndrome with bells on. In the same way, the freedom from taxes, of the tech giants, is a global subsidy to the tech giants. Meaning that no competitors can possibly arise. This is made worse by the tech giants buying up countless start-ups.
The vaccine went without drama. Completely painless. There was a 15 minute wait, on widely spaced chairs in a large hall, before we were supposed to leave. Just in case of an allergic reaction. The staff were excellent. All very cheerful and helpful. I wanted to go back for seconds but thought better of it.
The afternoon was spent, yet again, DIY-ing in soaring temperatures.
