This has been one hell of a year, I'm sure no one needs telling that. Covid had been a life changing event to everyone before we even take into account those that have lost loved ones to this disease. The whole absence of many things we have taken for granted on any other year has bitten many people. As somewhat of an introvert and not someone who often goes out and does things, it's not been overly hard for me. That's not to say I've not missed doing things. But I've not found it as unbearable as friends and family have. Makes me feel a bit sorry for them, since we are heading for another major lockdown in London, following the dubious honour of being the first in the newly created Tier 4. While things are starting to head in the right direction with the vaccine developments and rollouts across the world, we aren't in the clear yet. Given the need to vaccinate the vulnerable and key workers the general public won't be seeing a slot for it for a good while. Taking myself as an average youthful person, I'm not likely to see a dose until June. Which would be the birthday gift that keeps on giving. Even if one I'm not looking forward to.

Still..I hope that most of you will be able to enjoy something of a normal Christmas and get to see in someway your friends and family. Even if just via the internet or Skype or Whatapp. So Christmas Wishes and good thoughts to you all. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
