Day 75...

Another picture taken at Lakenheath on Monday. 

Saturdays have become quiet days here - we tend to take longer walks on Thursdays or Fridays and Sundays, and Saturday afternoons see our regular weekly Zoom get together with friends, so the rest of the day is mostly about chilling out, baking some form of cake, a short walk and not much else.

An increasing number of people are incensed about the protests taking place across the county in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Indeed, looking at the news coverage the gatherings of protesters in London certainly look incredibly ill advised allowing for the current virus situation. A point to consider is that we know that those from BAME communities seem to have a higher vulnerability to the virus - and a high percentage of those attending the protests are of course from those communities. It will remain to be seen what effect his has - I understand wholeheartedly as I said earlier in the week why they feel strongly that they need to protest, but I desperately hope that they aren’t putting themselves at risk to do so.
