Now that we're all locked down again it should be a quiet bonfire night tonight! Although, there always seems to be people who delight in watching their money go out with a bang, or is it up in smoke? Anyway, whichever, I was never really a massive fan of the event although I do confess when we used to attend school fireworks evenings it was a good way of keeping the kids amused for a couple of hours, and if it happened to be a cold night, the mulled wine was sometimes even drinkable.
Desperately sad watching what's going on in the USA at the moment, childish tantrums, lying on an industrial scale and huge quantities of money (that could be used for a million more beneficial things) being wasted on legal shenanigans simply to support the ego of the orange faced huckster that was elected four years ago, I fear for the stability of that continent, I really do. It seems hard to see how any semblance of unity can be forged in the current climate and because of Covid, people can't even unite behind the goal of making money, which, let's face it, has largely kept things ticking over since the 80's. Anyway, as usual, a lot rests on the skill and dedication of scientists around the world to dig us out of this mess, people (who should know) seem optimistic about getting a vaccine going before Christmas, I suppose that's something to remain hopeful about.
