I just read some hours ago that yesterday in Melbourne CSL started making 30 million doses of the University of Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine because the trial is nearing completion and it looks like it will be successful. Churches have opposed this vaccine because they have said it uses cells from an aborted foetus. I need to do some investigating before I decide to take it, that is if this is the vaccine that will be made available. At any rate it is an extraordinary achievement. That a vaccine could be found and made available so quickly. Another feather in the cap of human achievement.
It is my father's birthday on the 18th.My sister has organised a birthday party in an Italian restaurant where they make one metre long pizza. I'm not such a big fan of pizza but it sounds like fun. What do you gift a 92 year old man? An electric massage pillow.
Places in Europe are in lockdown again. Greece till the end of November and France for 4 weeks I think. I have friends in both these countries. One French friend has said that the atmosphere there is morose. At least a vaccine is now on the horizon.
I have made more things in the collage class - a postcard which I am going to send to my father and two self-portraits. Aaron, the teacher, has organised an exhibition in a local library for May of next year. We need to pick one collage from our collection to be framed and exhibited. It will be my first exhibition. That is something I never would have imagined would happen.
This morning I was having a think about why the collage class has been so successful. We were producing our own work right from the beginning and not copying.
