This evening I took this picture of Bath in the late evening sunlight. 

 

I can't make the camera capture the full beauty of new light on old stone.

 

It's breath-taking.

 

Yet, looking at this on a day when the fact that we ONLY had 363 COVID-19 deaths yesterday is seen as good news, seems like a cruel cosmic joke.

 

The flags should be at half-mast.

 

We should be mourning the 55,000 ‘excess deaths’.

 

We should be grieving.

 

Instead, we bicker and snipe and play PR games.

 

It makes me ashamed.
