Just heard that Father Christmas won't be doing his rounds this year, as he will stick to the Lapland Government Guidelines to stay at home to help protect the National Elf Service.

Yes Bushinn I am keeping my distance, written a few mins  ago about my trip to see my twin brother, seems some parts of the country are more fussy than others wearing masks, we were  in a bubble of 4, now we are back home as before being sensible, well as sensible as I can be at my age

Take care

How to get on with your neighbours    The mind boggles

The fact is that cases ARE increasing again - hospital admissions low SO FAR - surely if there's anything at all we can do to avoid this terrible disease, it's worth a try? Face masks are perfectly tolerable if irritating, I've had no trouble talking to people & having a laugh with strangers wearing one, I keep my distance as far as possible from others, use sanitiser & wash hands and I accept that numbers of people meeting up have to be restricted.


I don't understand the outrage against these measures - we all know why they've been imposed. Stamping feet & saying 'I'm not doing what the government tells me so there' is not going to help anyone. We aren't being asked to do anything impossible and it's NOT like 1984. It's an incompetent government with no clue how to deal with this situation but (apart from the IoM  ) who else has an answer?


If a few simple things help me & others I'm happy to try them.

I've no problem at all in keeping distances etc.  OH hasn't met with others since the beginning, but he has been my chauffeur at times.  I'm the one who has done the shopping, visited the hospital etc.

My grouch is the idea of "grassing on your neighbours".  It's not the government who will/might suffer, but you are the one to possibly suffer the dire consequences when the neighbours find out!

First of all I am not political

I ask myself if anyone could have done better, no one knew what to do about this situation right from the beginning,  as far as I am concerned we all have to do the right thing and as soon as everyone does the better for everyone, frustrating and as boring as it has become..

Just please do the right thing folks to protect us all, I suspect most on this board are over a certain age and mostly doing the right things, others need to be guided

Let's hope that people behave themselves and that by Christmas things are little laxer.

If not then OH and I will spend Christmas at home - we have one daughter who has three children, and a partner.  So rule of 6 means   

At least I might be spared the dreaded turkey and Christmas pudding!
