A couple of months ago we were speculating about the possibility of another coronavirus spike in the autumn… and now it’s here. The number of people infected is rising again, and it won’t be long before hospital admissions rise too. We’ve been here before, of course, though there’s no way we will be subjected to another national lockdown.
If it’s hard to be optimistic about what October will bring, it’s harder still to watch Donald Trump’s increasingly desperate, pre-election ploys. Since he is trailing Biden in the polls, I wouldn’t bet against the premature launch of a dangerously untested vaccine… or maybe a military incursion into a small country without the wish or the wherewithal to retaliate.
This is the gatehouse of Bishopthorpe Palace, the residence of the new Archbishop of York (who couldn't find the time or the enthusiasm to answer my query about the scaling down of hell, from an eternity of fiery torment to nothing more than "separation from God"... and on whose authority this change was made. Church of England clerics really are "making it up as they go along")...
