Dear Sushila
I must apologize that most of my cards are old - as old as me. I bought them during my travels in the various countries I visited. My intention was to support Unicef in their noble cause of helping displaced, marginalized children, affected by war, famine or any natural disasters. I wished I had used them then, but I was too busy working to pen any cards to friends. It's only now in my retired life that I am using them.
However, I am sad that many of my Bangladesh & Myanmar friends are not receiving my mail (as of now). For Myanmar,I can understand; with the unrest and military take-over, the postal service is their least concern. But no excuse for Bangladesh. It's perhaps just pure laziness there. A 'don't care' attitude among the staff in the postal service. I'm sure they are taking the covid situation as an excuse. But the world is opening up, so they better wake up!
The other day, James had a runny nose & a cold was coming up. He's quite prone to that actually. But because of the covid, we all got scared and kept clear from him! He wore a mask and kept to his room. After two days, the symptoms cleared and two ART tests confirmed negative. What a relief! See how the covid has affected our homes/family/friends? I'm so glad I am this age; I don't have to worry about work, colleagues or what the next chapter of the world events be. Aren't we lucky Sushila?
Stay well, stay home & stay safe!
Love Sylvia
