Adversity always brings out the best in people, and I am lucky in having a lot of friends with a good sense of humour. After we went into the first lockdown in March, I shared some of that humour with you – some light, some a bit dark, and some just plain daft. But it all brightened the long days in isolation.
So, now that we are back to the future, so to speak, it is time for episode two. It will run until this latest aberration is supposed to end in four weeks’ time, or whenever it finally extends to. Regardless, let’s hope it’s the last episode!
