Happy New Year 2021 but still No Portugal

 

Tomorrow, it is our custom to fly out of Canada to take up residence for three months in the Algarve, Portugal. There we can spend more time outside in the sunshine and lawn bowl multiple times during the week. Although Covid-19 is a serious threat in the north of Portugal, closer to Porto, our friends in the Algarve tell us that life remains remarkably normal there. Nevertheless, this year because of the lockdown in Toronto we are not prepared to travel yet. We think it is prudent to wait to see what kind of balloon in the rate of sickness may arise from the Christmas and New Year celebrations. Neither of us wants to become a burden on any health care system or to appear to be examples of poor citizenship. We will reevaluate the public health situation at the end of January. If it is sufficiently improved we will move our sojourn up to from February until the end of April.


Bowls must triumph in the end! 


In the meantime Happy 2021 New Year everybody.
