Should I stay (in) or should I go (out)?

That is the question of the moment, and I answer it on an ad hoc basis, not quite on a whim but asking myself is this something I can do online? and how much do I actually want to do it? I listen to news reports of rising infection levels, not to mention the daily death toll, and the lesser but not negligible threat of other infections, flu and that nasty cold that's going round, and think stay in; I consider those things that can't be done online, not to mention those which can, but are nonetheless returning to in-person mode, and think go out. The current tally of recent events ( includes dentistry and festivals (with a bonus appearance by Paul Robeson). )

Still to come: ( goodness, the diary is filling up! )

This post is a mixture of diary entry, purely for the record, and thinking aloud, process not product. The result isn't terribly interesting, but it can't be helped. Some posts just turn out that way.
