January 2021 – A Few Quirkes

Snow in the garden

Heavier now

A walk along the Thames

A Friday with Shaz.

A walk from the centre of London along the south bank to Barnes bridge and then along to Chiswick to catch the E3!

A total of about 19km- with resulting acting legs and cold muscles.

Vaccination

The programme is prioritised- most 80 and above have had their first dose I think.

Thoughtful

I went to the funeral of John Percival- better known to me as Anthony’s dad- today.

The service was very good with music from a violinist and singer.

It made me think of my favourite hymns and this one came back to me from the days at St. Ben’s in Khandallah.

Secure Messaging

For those wondering about @SignalApp's scaling, #WhatsApp's decision to sell out its users to @Facebook has led to what is probably the biggest digital migration to a more secure messenger we've ever seen. Hang in there while the Signal team catches up. https://t.co/xNKz4aYUFJ

WhatsApp recently announced that there will be closer data sharing with Facebook. So people are now responding and joining the Signal side- my concerns are now more widely accepted
