IT'S HERE - Post #84 of 84

 Richard pleaded for no more gardening posts in an email he sent me today:

"Wise words to all Peter. Now you just need to work on the standard of your blog - no more gardening posts please."

Well, I agree with the 'wise words Peter' comment but the gardening comment didn't resonate. It's either that or geopolitical commentary, atheistic reasonings or anti-anti-vaxxers diatribes. Believe me, gardening posts are better.

I posted earlier about us getting a retaining wall put in at the roadside: HERE and HERE

We've had it all arranged and the fence builder was supposed to start this morning.

The Old Girl received a text from him first thing apologising that he wouldn't be coming as he and his crew are in isolation because one member has tested positive for the Omicron variant of Covid-19. The job will be put off for a few weeks. Bugger!

This kind of brings this Omicron thing close to home and, with over 13,000 new positive cases a day it's not surprising. I'm glad that the gardener is staying away. We take it seriously and get pissed off with the fools who've given up and say silly things like "it's just like a cold" and "we'll all get it soon anyway". I treat this Omicron as seriously as the Delta and earlier variants. The long term effects are yet to be shown but the 'Long Covid' being talked about by people in the know - surgeons, heart and lung specialists, scientist setc and not the anti-mandate, anti-vax idiots - all say that the 'Long Covid' will likely have very serious implications for our health drastically raising the risk of heart attack, stroke and respiratory illnesses.

I'd rather trust the person wearing a stethoscope rather than the one wearing a tin-foil hat.
