Always look on the bright side of life
Sometime ago, I wrote a rather tongue-in-cheek piece about “Why It’s Fun To Be In One’s Sixties Or Seventies In Britain”.
Today England started the 15-week process of lifting the restrictions imposed for the third lockdown of the coronavirus pandemic. The main change is the return to school of children.
This made me think about my earlier essay and if, in the light of the pandemic, I would still hold to the view that people of my age – I’m almost 73 – have had a lucky seven decades.
It’s a hard statistical fact that those over 70 have constituted the overwhelming majority of deaths from covid. BUT, if one managed to stay alive, we did not have to worry about losing our job or homeschooling the children and we were among the first in line for the vaccine.
Always look on the bright side of life.
