My wonderful goddaughter lost her job in the theatre Royal because of the virus, and has now went to work in a care home for older people.
I'm so, so, proud of her.

She works night shift, helping the older people when they need assistance during the darkness.
She got her vaccine last week.

She's always made me proud of her, top student at her school despite lots of bad things happening to her, she came to visit me in hospital when I was sick, despite the memories that must have raised for her.
She is the most wonderful young woman (but don't tell her I said that)

So all you these Covid "sceptics," and "anti-vaxers."
Go put your money where your mouth is, go work in a place where you can help some real people.

Had a flashback there I thought I might share.
In the late 90s, for reasons that don't really matter, I ended up travelling across America on Greyhound buses.
A guy in New York sold me this pass for cash, and I could ride the bus wherever I wanted

Anyways, after three months, which was the length of my visa, I was heading back to New York, after being most everywhere, but I was so, so tired, and arrived in Boise, Idaho at midnight, just gone to the world.

Then someone sat beside me on the bus, stroked my head, and I went to sleep with my head resting on her shoulder.
I slept properly for the first time in three months.

Out of interest, does anyone know why the rugby trophy between Scotland and England is called the "Calcutta Cup"?

Calcutta is in India, so.i don't see the connection.

Turns our the cup is made from stolen Indian silver.
Thanks Twitter.

From whom?

There's a certain; "It's that kind of attitude that lost us India," feel from this piece.

Interestingly every single example he gives is English, Glastonbury, girl bands and an event that took place at Wembley.
The tone deafness is almost embarrassing.
