Progress?

This morning was sunny and warm and it felt as though we might be edging towards spring. Some of the flowers I have photographed as buds are almost out. Lizzie the blue tongue emerged from under her pot to bask in the sun. Her skin looks dull and flaky, so perhaps she is shedding it for spring.

By afternoon it was grey and cold again, but that breath of spring was hopeful.

Less hopeful, the Sydney lockdown will be extended by at least another month, and more LGAs have been added to the ‘of concern’ list. The numbers aren’t increasing exponentially, but they aren’t reducing either.

Ariarne Titmus won a second gold medal in the 200m freestyle in Tokyo. These young athletes are inspirational.
