Awaiting me, a swag of nice letters regarding this blog from readers, which were greatly appreciated.
My first task was to read 3 months of newspapers, albeit primarily The Herald as not speaking maori largely cuts out the Dominion Post for me. Most of its pages are devoted to various forms of maori wonderfulness. The Herald also had tons of maori reports albeit less maori wonderfulness and instead maori criminal activity stories.
When I left our covid death rate was under 50, thanks numerous newspaper correspondents claimed last year, to Jacinda’s magical curative properties. Now they’re approaching 1,500 and Jacinda is nowhere to be seen.
That said my prophecy of nearly three years back on this blog regarding covid has come true, namely that when it’s all done and dusted, Sweden’s approach of living with it will be seen to be the right one.
I was in Denver, Aspen and New York and mask-wearing was not evident, life being back to normal. So too in Lisbon, Glasgow, Budapest, Paris, Vienna, Amsterdam, Dublin and lots of German cities. Life is back to normal and the streets are crowded.
Then again, grown-ups are in charge. It was very refreshing.

Welcome home Bob. We have missed your wit.
Bob's reappearance the first bit of good news this year. The targets are limitless, and he does not have to consider PIJF rules. Hope he has the time to address everything. In a world where straight language seems to ba an outlawed skill he is a revelation.
Oh well, we welcome home the "Voice of Reason & Sanity" so do the "Thought Police".
unfortunately, we do have a 'grown-up' in charge. it is the 'mommy' who knows what's best for her toddler. and the toddler is more than happy to be hugged and kissed than be prepared for the real world :(
