How cruel is your April?
Apr. 8th, 2022 05:30 pmIt doesn't take a centenary to get people quoting The Waste Land. But the current April isn't going that badly.
Apart from the news, of course. I have nothing useful to say about Ukraine, but there's also a pandemic still going on. At the risk of writing not only are people being killed and cities reduced to rubble, but also I missed out on the pub quiz... Infections are still at an all time high, and it's too close to home to brush off. People are sending apologies for meetings because they have caught coronovirus. As a result we switched Tuesday's residents' association from 'in person' to Zoom, and, having received an alert after last week's pub quiz, decided to give this week's a miss.
But if that's the worst thing that has happened to me, I'm getting off lightly. And other things are more fun. Last Sunday we went to the 'unveiling' of a memorial bench:
Not this bench, which is an older one, and more photogenic - but it was a pleasant thing to do on a pleasant afternoon. We took the opportunity to check out a new sculpture among the neighbouring houses, which was also fun.
( Other non-cruel things: )
