A whiter shade of pale.

I had to contact the Covid helpline this morning, as J & I have separate appointments, and we want to go together, obviously. I started phoning a minute after the lines were open, and I was number 20 in the queue, Twenty minutes later, I got through and we now have a Saturday appointment on the 17th November. As soon as I put the phone down, an aunt of mine phoned to say that one of my cousins had passed away. Not the best of starts to the day. I contacted my brothers to tell them the sad news. 
We haven't been out today, so I decided to blip one of the first Camellias  to flower this year. We planted it in memory of my dear Mum.
