The Little One is sad because their playdate has been cancelled because their little friend is sick. Again.

This is the third time this happens in just under three months. Apparently Not-Covid again.

But everything is fine because kids don't catch it and it's mild in kids and yadda yadda huh?

The playdate that was postponed until tomorrow has now been postponed indefinitely because although Little Friend has recovered, it's their mum that's 'come down with something' now.
They asked if we should meet anyway, we said "have you tested for covid?", and they said of course not, no need because it certainly is Not-Covid.

So, playdate postponed until everyone is healthy. A tough bar to clear lately. :/

Little One misses their friend, and video calls aren't cutting it.

Quick reminder that at least a decent chunk of the forests *still burning* in Canada were part of the "offsets" countries and companies pay for as credits in Carbon Trading schemes meant for them to keep polluting guilt-free.

The "offsets" are now in the atmosphere heating the planet. As well as the original emissions.

Good stuff. /s

That's part of why Emissions Trading Schemes are little more than fancy accounting and should never be accepted as Climate Action.
