Well,this afternoon , TV ,more areas in tier 4 .including Suffolk,so I am glad I chose not to go but to celebrate alone.
I get very sad at the obvious selfishness we can see all about us ,but because I did not mention the wonderful work still going on please don’t assume I do not appreciate that there are people working tirelessly for the common good.
It is always the way, the bad spoken about and the good often is taken for granted ,which is a pity.
I hold my hands up , I do get annoyed by selfishness and to
my shame a young neighbour has just called with an afternoon tea for one :-
French onion soup
Turkey and stuffing Sandwich.
Smoked salmon and cream cheese , sandwich
Cheddar and chutney sandwich
Relish,
Stollen
Mince pie
Brandy snap, Fruit cake ,macaroon ,Dundee cake ,
Gosh, there is tomorrow sorted out!
She did it for my Birthday in the Summer.From the local Tea Shop.
An ex pupil as is her husband .
But how kind .
I do remember her little two little girls’ Birthdays and Christmas presents.
So to any working in the public sector or keeping things going in any way ,
a sincere Thank You!
The news is not good, a new strain more infectious even if not more serious ,yet the very fact it is more easily passed on is bad news anyway.
So to you all, I hope you are at least warm and dry, with food and hopefully some company, for Christmas, and I wish the homeless some shelter and a meal at least ,to the lonely a phone call , and peace for those whose lives are ending .
Cheerio, look after yourselves and those dear to you, and sad though it is that could be by not meeting them .
Viktoria.
