Ds's graduation. But more for him all the end of university celebrations.

Dh several half hours of dialysis as the knocked off half an hour of his thrice weekly sessions during the height of lockdown do deep clean between patients.

Helping my 85 year old dad from being distressed in hospital after his heart attack with no visitors even though he was transferred to hospital 10 minutes away from me.

My dd's smear test.

The main one was watching dc compete for their country for the first time - event was cancelled.

A posh awards ceremony that a friend got us tickets for.
My child's 18th birthday celebrations.
A friend's wedding

None of them awful. I hadn't actually planned a lot to be honest. I was lucky enough to go on a holiday abroad with friends a month before lockdown. I would have been sad if I had missed that.

My sons 18th and 21st birthday celebrations during 1st lockdown

Summer holiday to Majorca

Music festival

Was made redundant in October
Currently have COVID and have a job interview on Thursday which is now being done via Zoom. 🤞so thankfully haven’t missed out on that.

I’m thankful that my redundancy was the worst thing. In the grand scheme of things it’ll be ok.
