We used to tune in to the TV to listen to the results of the “X-Factor” each weekend, but now it’s been replaced by the “R-Factor” (i.e. the rate at which Covid-19 is spreading) plus a very different set of results! Continue reading “Week 8 – lock down in 823 words”
Welcome to May’s Serenity Circle.
