I think it's fair to say that COVID-19 has not gone away! However, most of the legal restrictions have disappeared and it is technically easier to hold events, classes and performances, and to travel to them. We are still all feeling our way around this and trying to dodge (re)infection and transmission of SARS-CoV-2 or any other nasty that might come along. Rest assured I am accepting all NHS vaccines/boosters as soon as they are offered to me and being as sensible as ever. I invite organisers to contact me about specific arrangements they may have/require for safety and contingency.
One result of my contracting coronavirus back in February was the obligatory growing of and playing about with facial hair. I attach evidence of recent looks that have tickled my fancy. If any of these appeal, you may have to get your job offers in quick before the tickle loses its novelty. I am open to requests...
