🎵 Every day I hear a different story
People sayin' that you’re no good for me
Saw your lover with another
And she’s making a fool of you, oh

🎵 If you love me baby, you'd deny it
But you laugh and tell me I should try it
Tell me I’m a baby, and I don't understand

Go Wham!

@LivinLaVidaLoki that is wonderful news. So pleased for you (and jealous!)

@LivinLaVidaLoki

Just turned my phone on for long enough to pop on here and let you all know I made it. I have been in Greece for a week now and it is heaven on earth. The only evidence that covid exists is masks on public transport and in closed fronted shops and there is hand gel on tables in restaurants. Wait staff wear masks too.

But life here is spontaneous, you don't have to plan everything to death months in advance and queue for everything and check in all over the place.

This is honestly the happiest I have been in a long time. Currently sat in my cousins garden drinking frappe, eating pastries while the kids play.

I hope you are all doing well and sending my love to you all.

Fantastic news Grin I'm so glad you're there, and that it's a good climate too. Enjoy the break and the family time xxx

Have a lovely holiday @LivinLaVidaLoki . Sounds amazing.

BogRollBOGOF · 08/08/2021 01:57

Whoop! Back in Britain where the toilets and eating-in are open in service stations. Such luxury!

Welcome back!

Taswama · 08/08/2021 09:52

Were you in ROI @BogRollBOGOF ? I knew there was no indoor drinking but closed toilets sounds grim.

ISaySteadyOn · 08/08/2021 10:07

Also, closing toilets can cause the spread of other more unpleasant diseases plus it's sexist. Women, get back on your urinary leash so you have to stay home now. I exaggerate but you see what I mean..

Taswama · 08/08/2021 10:20

Yes, I bet no-one did an equality impact assessment on that.

Curlygirl06 · 08/08/2021 11:04

@LivinLaVidaLoki I've been thinking about you every time they mention the Greek islands on the news. Glad you're there ok, have a fab time!

Two middle aged women went awkwardly off to the bushes at the back of the car park... Most services did have open loos, but that one decided that they knew better.

Fortunately for me and the additional needs that women have in toilets, I have reusable products and a wetbag which means no disposal issues, although I didn't have an issue at that point.

I never thought I'd be glad to be back in Britain 2021!

London theatres still requiring facecoverjngs, it seems.

ISaySteadyOn · 08/08/2021 21:08

That's too bad. I used to love the theatre. Shame they consider their audience pre diseased.

WouldBeGood · 08/08/2021 21:12

Yep, I’m disappointed. Galleries still wanting pre booking and masks too. Was going next month but think will stay the fuck at home

flower11 · 08/08/2021 21:29

Loki so pleased that you managed to get away and are enjoying yourself.

justasking111 · 08/08/2021 22:48

Watched the proms last night, audience masked up

WouldBeGood · 08/08/2021 22:49

This is all shit
