UPDATE to Covid

Nothing really to update. 

Dominica has remained Covid 19 free, although I think this is about to change as we are poised to reopen August 7.  We have been repatriating citizens during July.  The entry protocol is very good, but many repatriated people have not been complying. The Government has heartily reprimanded them.  I hope it will be different for foreigners.  Well, we will see.

We have made very little progress in rebuilding the Peter House and won't be moving in, as planned, this summer.  It is plumbed though, water, shower, toilet functioning well.  Now it needs to be wired, and stove, and fridge bought and installed.  If we get any tourists when the borders open next week we may make a little money to do this. 

This is also high season for storms, tropical waves, tropical troughs, hurricanes.  Last night the sea was very high.  It brought us some nice pieces of driftwood, but not stones and, happily, no rubbish.  We had put up a galvanized barrier along the fence to protect the plants and the patio.  It will stay up for the next couple of weeks adding to the construction site ambience of the place!
