I skipped writing an update last week because there was nothing new to report since Wednesday’s Weekly Update No.3.
1. Canada’s Boarder Closure. As expected, Canada and the USA have extended their boarder closure until ‘at least the 21st August’. This is the fourth time the US/Canada boarder closure has been extended and each time the news that the Canadian boarder will remained closed to the rest of the world has been added on at the end of the month as a side note! There is currently nothing official regarding Canada extending its boarder closure with the rest of the world. But I’m not hopeful as it seems likely that the now familiar pattern will be repeated. And so once again we wait to see if Canada will make some exemptions to which foreign workers are allowed to enter the country.
2. Our wander around the U.K. continues After 3 months at my Mum’s house in Wiltshire, we’re now nearly back where we started in the South East! We’ll be here for the next two weeks, staying at a friend’s house while they are on holiday. It has been seven months since we moved out and during that entire time we’ve lived with friends and family or in their houses! Although the sight of a packing cube no longer fills me with the joy and excitement it once did, I am immensely grateful to have had so much help this year.
What’s Bothering Babs?
Babs’ question: Why don’t you try and go?
Partly Bally, our Greyhound. Much as I’m sure he’d like to be turned free to hunt squirrels, he’d be useless. Plus, we rather like him. But seriously, the main reason is that I could be refused entry and made to return to the UK. Meanwhile, Jacob would have to remain in/enter Canada. Since, there is no clear end to the boarder closer in sight we would be separated without knowing how long for. In short, the financial and emotional implications are great.
