We might even see a new Woodstock taking place after the pandemic is conquered methinks. We have had some of the severest lockdowns here for many months and the shackles have still not been removed, but such is the new life.
Luckily being a charity worker we are used to being avoided and so our friendship ring is very small, but they are all special people and the friendships remain intact.
Your travel lust will have to abate for a lot longer, but you can write many more novels during the wait. (Great videos)
I am sorry to hear about your father and our condolences.
How cool would another Woodstock be? If only we could bring back Hendrix and Joplin and all of those greats.
I'm sorry to hear you all have more lockdowns. I don't know how the US will avoid that this fall. Everyone here who is going to get vaccinated has and it's not enough for our population to reach herd immunity. With children back in school now (some districts are maskless) it's only a matter of time before we see business closures and mandates.
I think it's best to have a small circle of friends anyway. Yes, the travel will have to wait but I'll still try to use this time wisely.
Thanks so much for the kind words!
Sadly over the years the new music has replaced the old original stuff and cover versions are not the real thing. I would rather listen to a real guitar riff than an electronic idea of a guitar riff.
We face the same problem here as many refurse to get vaccinated and we will never reach herd immunity. Conspiracy theorists are having the times of their lives and they grab the limelight at every opportunity trying to beat each other on line.
Agreed with you about the friend count, as my wife is my best friend and we work together 24/7 in the charity world with Papillon for the past 20 years. So there's not much space for a large friend count.
We have also been bitten by a few "friends" over time and who has time for that?
Great that you are using your time wisely and maybe we will see you in South Africa some time in the future. One never knows.
It is only kindness that will heal this world and my pleasure.

I like a lot of the older stuff but I have connected with some of the modern music too. Beck is one of the biggest talents I've come across.
Oh man, the political parties are having a field day pushing people further to the extremes, all for power/votes. I always say the truth lies somewhere in the middle. It's now becoming apparent that some of the "alternative" treatments to Covid like Ivermectin do actually work for people who are in reasonably good health. I didn't believe it at first but it's looking as if that's the case. The trouble with that here in the US is so few are in "reasonably good health".
We don't have time for back-biting or drama either. That's why we keep our circle relatively small. We do hope to get to your part of the world! I'll be sure to reach out when it happens. It would be fun to meet and hang out.
Kindness is the only way! I hope you have a wonderful week!
I had to ask my wife who Beck is and she knows his music.
I am still stuck on Jethro Tull, T-Rex, Uriah Heep and Led Zeppelin.
They have now decided here to issue everyone with vaccination passports and I think it is an effort to encourage more people to have the vaccines.
The laboratories here did many studies on Ivermectin and the government has decided to warn the public against its use, as many people here are not in good health either.
That's just the thing, as backbiters are ten a penny, so it is wise only to have a few proven friends. Glad you will be in contact whenever you arrive here someday and I will take you to some of the famous wine farms.
Agreed with you about kindness, and may your week also be kind to you guys.
