Back on home territory, and I feel I know and admire Adams far more than before. The preening, pompous quasi-monarchist I had pictured was a kind, faithful, honest man. The complexity of the founding fathers is an endless study, it's like different aspects, foibles and personalities of ancient gods. Which in a way, they are. Christmas is approaching, the omicron virus variant is spreading at record levels throughout the UK and we don't know what the situation will be at Christmas. Helen has had a booster jab, I have mine tomorrow, but Freddie is not yet eligible for his and Libby and William aren't vaccinated at all. At the same time whoever in the media has been protecting Boris Johnson has cut loose and every day more and more damaging stories are emerging about how he and his administration have flouted the lockdown rules. He looks like a dead man walking, but then it's always been obvious that he is completely unsuitable for public office, why did we have to suffer 2 years of his incompetent premiership to find out what we knew already
