Rather than allow Clapping for Carers to fade away it has changed gear, transforming from a weekly event to an annual one.
Last night's demonstration will thus be the last one until this time next year, which is why we celebrated it even more vigorously than usual.
We all gathered to show support for the NHS, Carers and Key Workers by means of applause, cheering, blowing whistles, banging saucepans and sundry other noise-makers.
Byron had been busy working on his painting all day but arrived shortly before 8pm to join in with the rest of us, and even Uncle Zoltan turned up for this momentous final demonstration of support.
After a few minutes everyone's hands began to hurt from the sustained applause, throats became sore from cheering, arms tired from excessive pot-banging etc and we all trooped back into the house, where we discussed these strange times over mugs of hot chocolate.
Once Wilson and Byron had finished their chocolate they excused themselves, saying that they had 'something important' to do.
Worryingly, they took Wilson's Book of Brilliant Inventions notebook with them…
