Plague Year 2: salvage

We did not expect that 2021 would be much the same as 2020, except with even less optimism or faith that it would all be over soon. With even less faith in our leaders. But with the joy of the vaccine. Our arms are pincushions - first jab, second jab, booster, flu, pneumonia. We are reeling with a swarm of anti-bodies and we really hope we will survive.  And we are the lucky ones by a very long way.
Meanwhile the planet is burning and sinking - COP26 came and went. David Attenborough continued to make heart wrenching programmes on the beauty and tragedy of it all. Where will it end? Well I guess we all know the answer to that. That's why we look at pictures of kittens. I don't have any of those, but these are some images from 2021. They seem to have a lonely feel - I apologise. But maybe this is just how it was (is?)
