Hello everybody,
Can you believe it ! Seems like yesterday that the lovely was setting up the “Boris Break” thread to see us through the first wave of covid . Here we are descending the second wave and entering the last month of 2020! We have come a long way . Some through surgery and treatments .
My self isolation has ended and my Christmas tree was purchased but am I delusional about the size of my room or did it look much smaller in the large space when I purchased it ?
So here we go Dec 2020 .
Thinking of everyone going through treatment and especially those in the very early stages of diagnosis.
A seasonal looking Strawberry Fields, yes the Strawberry Fields, which is about 200m from our house.
Well it’s the last day of Liverpool’s time in tier3/2nd lockdown - after 2 long months. The result of this extended period & the mass testing pilot? Liverpool’s Covid rate has fallen from nearly 700 to just under 100, the postcode for the area in which we live has a rate of 60. Hopefully those areas entering T3 will see a similar reduction. Suddenly there seems to be an outcry from areas going into T2/3 - thoughts go to Manchester which has been under enhanced restrictions since mid-summer.
It genuinely seems the new year will bring new hope. The vaccine trials are producing definite results. I’m not sure whether a “vaccine passport” for entry into leisure facilities is a good idea, I’m not opposed to the idea in anyway, if it gets me back to Anfield any quicker bring it on, but if there’s one thing the NHS does not need it’s more admin.
A personal thought to those who are recently diagnosed and awaiting news/treatment. There is no ‘good time’ but I was diagnosed mid-December and know you are the proverbial ‘rain cloud’ while everyone else seems happy & carefree, in reality they are probably not; having the radio constantly telling you “It’s the most wonderful time of the year doesn’t help. Anyway, best wishes to you all.
