Let the wet one in.

Wet cat alert. Racing through the garden, scaling up the side of the house in sideways wind and rain and screeching at the window.

Now happily purring and drying off in a pile of clean, (was dry, is now not), laundry.

Blink.

Blink

I blinked and I missed it didn’t I?

The electronic billboard that appeared a few weeks before the start of the pandemic in 2020 on the side of a house on my evening walk, the one that featured images of the giant Coronovirus and telling us to stay indoors to stay safe. The one that lit up my night time walks with garish primary colours of resilience.

It’s gone.

Just a freshly rendered golden pebble-dashed wall.

And my dog cocks her leg and wees on the wall while a discarded mask blows past me.

I’m probably the only one that’s noticed (or remotely bothered). I can’t decide if I’m actually bothered or that my icon of the Pandemic has just got fed up and gone to another wall to advertise holidays. Covid 19 is so yesterday.

And just like that, the skies over Port Talbot (Mordor)light up as the blast furnaces get going for the evening shift.
