Would like to ignore politics, especially on a sunny day when walking is a pleasure.
But. I can’t ignore Bloody Stupid Johnson (acknowledgment to Terry Pratchett for the name)
I’ve been calling him that since his first televised address on The Virus. At the end of incoherent bluster he said that Britain led the world in dealing with Covid 19. Not true. He has told us all how to stay safe and ignored his own advice. He’s a fool. Even so, i hope he recovers.
Enough! Today’s walk was a reversal of the cold and wet one on March 29th. The weather was mild and sunny and i walked in the opposite direction, clockwise. Through empty streets of Canterbury, passing the closed Wincheap Park and Ride to the river bank. The riverside path was busy with walkers, runners and cyclists. Easy to keep a safe distance. Blue sky overhead and most of the trees in leaf.
Spring mornings like this bring optimism in trying times.
