I just got word her partner now has it. The poor things both sick with it at the same time.

Thanks, Margie. England isn’t doing well. Because she’s a civil engineer, she still had to go to work during lockdown. Grrr. I hope things get better for you too. 

Thanks, Larry for your good wishes and the clues!

Hey,! Haven't played very well, but did get the vaccine today!! Some advantages to being this old!

So sorry to hear that, Di. I've heard that England is not a particularly safe place to be at the moment. Hopefully, the USA will get better after the inauguration.

Di, sorry to hear about your daughter.   Let me give you a hint to finish.  (whisper - I'm using 8 and 10).

I’m sending the same back to all of you. I hope life gets back to normal after the 20th and healing begins. 

Not a good time here,Di, but we will survive as we always have in times of great disturbance.  I'm so sorry about your daughter. How hard for you not to be with her. I'm sending you both healing thoughts and prayers!

It’s a beautiful summer day with a lovely sea breeze today, Ruby. Tennis player flying in for the Australian Open are upset about our quarantine regulations. There have been coronavirus cases on their flights, so they have to isolate. My daughter who lives in London England now has coronavirus. It’s tough being so far away. 
How are things in the beautiful USA, Ruby?

Will you tell us how you do it, penguin?
