We are a week into self isolation and it is very upsetting for me to witness my other half standing at the living room window staring aimlessly into space with tears running down her cheeks.

Janey Godley & not actually the First Ministers words, 

so a warned of swearing and if you do not like her voice or her telling it like the politicians should do then do not listen.

 

 

Maybe her style is what is now needed to get through to those who aren't listening?

 

I'm more than happy to forego this one Christmas if it improves my chances of celebrating many more in the future.

I decided to watch it after redaing your comments.

 

Yes the message is spot on but will be wasted in my country, its why they didn't even ask people to reconsider taking a summer holiday.

 

I have friends in the South who have been really carefull isolating and protecting themselves and others all this year, they accepted an invitation to a wedding which had the maximum (then) of 30 authorised guests, 12 people contracted CV19 there including both of them, some of the others have not made recoveries after 3 weeks like they did and are in a bad way.

 

Yesterday I saw video footage of a Jewish wedding in the USA with 7000 people crammed into one hall.

reality check is - Christmas is going to be weird and ****e this year regardless of what level of restrictions are in place, and there will be an early January spike because people are idiots and will ignore them.

personally, 

im quite looking foreward to a quiet christmas with just the 4 of us here. reckon i may even do a big slow roast featherblade of beef for dinner. swmbo isnt a turkey fan, and i dunno can i be arsed doing one just for me. its not like its going to be a traditional Christmas anyway!!!

I'm not a turkey fan either and our normal Xmas feast (with daughter, SIL & grandson) is a turkey for them as wants it and a roast leg of lamb.  Seems to work well as long as you don't mix up the gravies :)

 

BTW How about something like a turkey crown a la Aldi or Lidl for you?  That way you can enjoy the budgie without all the hassle.

 

NB All things that fly or purport to fly are known as "budgies" where I grew up :)

Many will remember being told when young that if they had not been good you just got ashes at Christmas

 

But I'm sure you'll understand if I prefer those ashes to not be mine!

maybe, that said though... i havnt roasted a featherblade this year, and it is a seriously under rated cut of meat when done properly..

as in, seared at 730am with onion and mushrooms, then low and slow roast until 2pm....

Happy to do in future, but I first learned to use the abbreviation here on the forum.

So today I'm comin' atcha from a Hyundai dealers near you....or not as the case may be. Car is in for a service and I have managed to persuade the lovely staff to let me stay on site rather than bunker down at the local Tesco megastore ( I'd rather not spend a couple of hours there for obvious reasons). So I brought my own entertainment. Do you think I might have over done it :D

We can't expect high flying executives to remember things like charging computer gear.
