Dependent, as we now are, on deliveries from the outside world, it's useful if people can find one's doorbell, which they seemed to have great difficulty in doing. So this morning I trimmed back the aggressive wall climber from around the house number, and attached a little notice saying DOOR BELL (with a helpful arrow downward). All those of you who wonder about the waste of conference badges, and the need to re-purpose those little plastic sleeves - I was grateful for this one.
But. Door bell rings. We are trying to be super-nice to delivery people, because (a) they are keeping us going, and (b) their jobs must suddenly have increased in volume, exponentially. Anyway, we like our postman. So Alice asks how he's doing, etc. And his theory? The Covid-19 pandemic has flown over here as a result of the Australian bush fires, which have somehow dispersed it ...
