Christmas is saved

[MiaMarshmallows]

So happy that my partner and big family can all be together this year. We are all really close and get on brilliantly. So pleased at the news today!

Bloody hell Alexafrost, that sounds very hard. What a shitty year this has been. I'm so sorry for all your losses.

It's daft, DameFanny, but I was totally unprepared for my mum to die, and it was so sudden, and in this wierd bloody time, we haven't been able to deal with it all properly.

It's certainly going to be a strange Christmas.

I'm not sure what dealing with anything means these days. Just been keeping going and trying to look for the rainbows. And diving into favourite books when it all gets too much.

I know this thread was started weeks ago and nobody could predict the future
But...On 30 Nov my DD was traveling from the States to a country in the EU for essential business. She had a stopover at Heathrow to change planes...DD was shocked at the laissez-faire attitude by more than half of the airport workers..no masks, social distancing, etc. It was as if the 2 Dec lifting of the govt orders were soon enough "so let's just start now."...the airport workers were being exposed to people from all over the world and weren't taking even the most rudimentary precautions..After their shifts they were possibly riding the tube home, stopping at shops then going home to their families. Is it any wonder there has been an explosion of covid19 in the London area, enough to go into Tier 4 if the very people who are exposed to the outside world aren't following the rules?

All I can tell you is that my DD is one of the boldest risk-takers I know, and she decided it was 100% essential to use protective measures at all times and was completely shocked when she saw many people at Heathrow doing the opposite.
Just a real life observation from my DD, so please don't jump down my throat about it...she was there that day, and you were probably not. The end
