"At the dawning of the decade, we were here, In the smoke, filled wreckage of an unhappy New Year, Scraping off the land like toast." ... "If we only knew, " ... "When it rains, it pours, You catch your death. Stay indoors. When it rains, it pours, it pours." "Toilet rolls were walking off the shelves." All words in quotation marks show lyrics from song by Enda Kenny. January 2020, myself, my husband and our dog sitting in a campervan on Sawtell Headland (Coffs Harbour NSW) overnight. Our Boambee house in the path of the bushfire if it gets out of control. February 2020 school 50th reunion in Sydney. My Sydney brother, in a health related industry warns me "there's a virus on its way since November 2019, origin thought to be China." Not public information yet. He says: "go home and stay away from crowds and poor ventilation." March 2020: we're in lockdowns and movement restrictions. Again that ability to be specific but capture the zeitgeist. Wow. Hats off to you, Enda Kenny.
Brilliant, as always Enda
