Just another example of when things fall into place, the place falls apart. I always thought limbo was a dance which originated in Trinidad and was popular at a wake., and I was never supple enough to partake. Dance has always been food for the soul and if it can help in keeping us all same then I am all for it.

Hopefully your parole comes through soon so that you can resume normal activities, we can all live in hope.

Thanks, Robert. In this case it's more a metaphoric dance rather than a literal one, but the same principle applies... :wry-grin: And yeah, 'parole' is a good description: large parts of this do feel like a self-imposed prison - being immunocompromised means I have to take this mess much more seriously than so many others seem to do. Acting responsibly to a pandemic is not a small change...

"Acting responsibly to a pandemic is not a small change" Agree wholeheartedly on that, I have a cerebral palsy son and that has meant that we have needed to withdraw from normal society to a large extent to ensure that he is not exposed in any way. It has been a tough number of months until we all received the vaccine, but the doubts still leave a niggling doubt. My comments on the dance were pure sarcasm, but keeping a balance and remaining responsible during these times could be seen as a tap-dance by outsiders. Agree yet again that this is by no means a small change.
