PP maybe its symbolic I renewed my passport just before lockdown1. My elderly dog was very ill indeed happy in himself, in no pain or distress but in his last days. I had been in contact with the vet and we had agreed not yet but soon. His bro (still with me) hates being left alone, was fine when younger, and can't get in my car. I was feeling totally trapped at home. "blow this" I thought...well not blow but similar..."there will be a day when my caring duties will be over, there will be a day when the pandemic is over, I will get to travel again, I will get myself a passport! for me its a kind of talisman of the expensive kind....I don't begrudge one second of my caring time but its been something like 15 years now since my choices started to be limited by the needs of my loved ones.....anyway that's it, whinge over.
