I'm still uploading photos with my backup laptop, which takes at least ten times longer, a pain in the ass, but I need to show that life is normal here. There is no panic over any new Covid variant. I went shopping at Chekers in Wernhill Park today, and there was the usual crowd for that time of day, and the same relaxed mood.

At one end of the mall, there are three very young professional photographers. I know them. When I saw two today, we smiled and waved at each other.
