the good lady & myself are on a bit of a downer today.we should have set sail on the arcadia for the northern lights cruise .we had booked it 18 months ago .we were so looking forward to it .when we booked the cruise dont think any body was aware of covid 19 and all it involved.stay safe everybody .

I should be rushing about now getting things in order for ours that would have been  due in 3 weeks time. There are lot of us in the same boat at the moment, excuse the pun😉, but very little we can do about it unfortunately, except look forward to next year. Stay safe, take care.

Well, Lady W and I have both got common or garden colds. No CV19 symptoms,  just a runny nose and a slightly under the weather feeling. First colds we have had in over 3 years we reckon, as our Lemsip sachets are out of code! 

I blame our trip to exotic Devon - obviously different infectious strains down there.

Hope you both get better soon and it doesn’t last to long , have a couple of hot toddies before bed 🤧

Good to see you, Andy - how are things at work? I think we've all been thinking about you.

Thanks both. In the scale of things,  my cold is a mere bagatelle. 

However,  if I may make a serious point, whilst everyone is studying the daily CV19 figures to the n'th degree, many, many more people are suffering from other illnesses and life threatening conditions (not my cold obviously) and they are being forgotten and neglected due to the myopic fixation on CV19. 

Sorry for a miserable start to the day! I'm hoping to mow the lawn today  - last cut of the year?

[wowzz]

Andy - did you go on these on your last holiday to Walton.

It's a very serious point, Wowzz (hope you're both over your colds quickly, by the way) and it's starting at last to surface. 

 

There's a reasonably simple solution, of course, but it's political dynamite - keep the highest risk groups protected, but allow everyone else to carry on more or less normally to build up herd immunity.

 

I think we'll inevitably come to that (and as one of those most likely to be impacted, I accept it) - just a matter of time.

I think you're probably right. However, doubt they'll use the words "herd immunity" again - they'll come up with a impressively baffling new name.

Off the the local gastro pub for dinner this evening. 3rd time out this week. DW tells me that Rishi's dishes ends some time before Christmas, so we need to use it whilst it's there.

I'll say get well soon to you both now. I may not get the chance after I tell her she's got a poker face.🤣

It's actually a sort of back handed compliment, in the sense that she is telling you that the "Eat Out" deal is still  here, and keep a straight face!

We have a dry bright day in North Devon today [emoji4]

Just had a take away cream tea and as we’re in Devon it is of course cream first [emoji4] I can confirm no jam drizzled off the cream

We used Princess as they are 1 of only a few of cruiselines allowed in Glacier Bay plus they have their own land based lodges if you want to add a landtour.JMO,cheers,Brian.
