Tuesday 13 October
It’s been a long, wet, grey day.
There is so much on the TV, radio, online and in conversation about the rise of Covid19 once again. It’s getting increasingly concerning every day.
Keir Starmer, the leader of the opposition, has demanded that the government announce a two or three week national lockdown. They’re referring to this as a ‘circuit breaker’.
There have been another 17k infections confirmed in the last 24 hours and a further 143 have died. And you get the feeling that it’s not just the teaching fraternity that is tired of all of this. The whole nation is reeling under the strain of what has been and the fear of what is to come.
Meanwhile, Stanley has been completing the five university choices for his economics degree for next year. Sheffield is top of the list.
It has rained all day. A real middle of the week slumpy day. Nothing particularly positive to share.
Later…
Actually, I do have something wonderful that has just happened. Amid the negativity of the main news, there was the report about the Wildlife Photographer of the Year award 2020. It’s organised by the Natural History Museum, London.
