bone-weary we wave
good riddance to the old year
light beyond the hill
Kim M. Russell, 30th December 2020
My response to Carpe Diem #1842 End of Year
As 2020 draws to a close, Chèvrefeuille reminds us what a dreadful year it was, a year of illness and loss, with a lockdown even at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai.
I feel your bone-weariness and see the far-off light!

Thank you, Ingrid. From what Matt Hancock was saying this morning, although they have approved another vaccine and it should start to roll out on 4th January, another tier will be announced tomorrow. So many selfish people are just not doing what they have been asked to do and it’s spreading faster than ever. The rates went right up after Christmas.

Yes, it seems a high price to pay for a family gathering that can be postponed.
