Walked past my local medical centre. Dozens of over 80's patiently waiting for their vaccination slots. Doc emerges : "We'll get to you all no matter how long it takes." Confess I had a Matt Hancock moment.
Loved being at virtual launch of amazing book Escape from the Ghetto from @johnc1912 . Great detective work and storytelling about his Dad. On my Xmas present requests list.
In a DC park, over 230,000 white flags have been planted to mark the death of every single American from COVID-19.
When I spoke to the organiser at about 3pm she said she was "still trying to catch up from yesterday's deaths being planted".

Biden campaign dispatches its last mailout from Obama to supporters.
“I know from my own campaigns just how important a surge of late fundraising can be. What Joe and Kamala raise today will fortify them in the key states they need to win on Tuesday,” the ex-president writes.
An excellent film about conservation and red squirrels made by one of my ex @MATVJGold students for her final solo video feature, self-shot and edited. Well done Jemima. (In both senses of the phrase!)
I’m thrilled to have come Runner Up in this year’s @BornFreeFDN Harry Percy Award for Young Wildlife Filmmakers 🎥

OK, respect.
That was serious burn time from @afneil. I particularly liked (and chuckled at) the Supreme Court line.
Boris Johnson, you’ve been called out... Can we trust you even to turn up?
Fascinating visit to @UKSupremeCourt for @MATVJGold. Thanks for excellent tour and briefing on media handling. And we got to sit in the nine Justices’ chairs and debate cases too. Lords and ladies for a day.
On the ‘laugh or cry’ principle can heartily recommend an evening with @MattChorley of @timesredbox with his one-man show #ThisIsNotNormal. Entertaining a live audience solo for 2 hrs is a rare journalistic skill. #brexit funny? Who knew?
