For the past 4 years, Westminster has treated the Northern Irish as a fifth wheel or obstacle for Brexit, not like a Brother nation in the Kingdom. We had a general election this month and the results revealed that the 4 nations of the United Kingdom are on a different page as a result.
Nationalist parties gained more seats in Northern Ireland, I imagined people that had marched through the Streets of Belfast in Orange all their lives to show their commitment to the Kingdom looking over their shoulder and voting for Sinn Fien or something like that. Perhaps the Island of Ireland will be one state in the near future. A similar thing was happening in Scotland.
The C19 virus mutated more and was killing more people in the world, I got vaccinated this month along with millions of other Brits. The Pestilence of the C19 virus is very devastating, I have lost some family members.
Towards the end of the month, mount Nyiragongo erupted and released a river of lava that destroyed towns nearby. I think the lava eventually reached the city of Goma. Thousands of people fled the disaster in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. I wish them all peace and good health.
Then finally at the last bit of the month it was my Dad's birthday, the west Booths and East Booths were reunited at our parents house for the first time in over a year.
Happy Times ahead? I hope so.
