45. When You Win The Oscar For Best Crab In A Leading Role
*DISCLAIMER: Mentally here, but physically enduring yet another lackadaisical lockdown in London.
Good morning friends,
If you’re pro-vaccine and pro-science (and by that I mean anti-Facebook), let’s take a minute of gratitude for the hard work of incredible Turkish scientists and this special lady who have contributed to helping us live a little longer.
I, and the remnants of all previous vaccines that kept me alive as a child in Africa, are beside ourselves with excitement.
Look who just got his first dose!
Here’s some internet that you may find interesting and/or meaningful.

Earthrise: A Poem About Climate Change by Amanda Gorman
//
Where despite disparities
We all care to protect this world,
This riddled blue marble, this little true marvel
To muster the verve and the nerve
To see how we can serve
Our planet. You don’t need to be a politician
To make it your mission to conserve, to protect,
To preserve that one and only home
That is ours,
To use your unique power
To give next generations the planet they deserve.
We are demonstrating, creating, advocating
We heed this inconvenient truth, because we need to be anything but lenient
With the future of our youth.
And while this is a training,
in sustaining the future of our planet,
There is no rehearsal. The time is
Now
Now
Now,
Because the reversal of harm,
And protection of a future so universal
Should be anything but controversial.
So, earth, pale blue dot
We will fail you not.

Happiness is the difference between what you have, and your definition of enough.

4. The Pretziada Knife
NGL - my first thought was - ‘who the hell would pay EUR280 for a knife?’
*note: now I want one :-)
“The knife is completely hand made by local artisan Sergio Frongia. The steel blade is hand-forged, the handle is cut and sanded by hand, and all of the brass hinges are hand-shaped.”
