Spike the punk cactus

Spike has been with me for many years. I don’t think he has ever been re-potted.
 
About this relaxation of covid rules. I’m not sure exactly what is happening in Scotland, but if social distancing is out, and mask wearing optional, I will not be able to shop and collect my prescriptions any more. Like many people whose health status is compromised, I can’t afford to take the risk. Pubs and cafes will be out as well. We seem to be very focussed on omitron. Has it not occurred to anyone that the next variant might be far more severe?
