Have a good Christmas - quietly at home for most of you, with a special thought to those key workers who have to work on Christmas Day. A big thank you to Santa, aided by his helper Tom, who have been around already (after a last minute scare when it was realised that Rudolph is not fitted with a retention system).
We'll be up for a quiet light breakfast (well - Billy is up now in his excitement, and has just explored the garden for smells and signs of reindeer) and a lunch - breaking with tradition - of roast beef. Brief visits to the Coffee Shop at
10 a.m. and
4 p.m. and no doubt much of the rest of the day watching old movies and playing with
computer games online data, a pint or two of Christmas Guiness and an early night.
Traditionally, we'll have leftovers ...
Cold in salad on 26th
Risotto on 27th
Curried on 28th
and sausages on 29th ...
and that's just the Brussels.
From a minute after midnight, new tiers come into play. Personal plans are to stay home were possible, travel local, wear masks when out in public places, social distance around others outside the three of us, and suggest others do the same if they can for the next couple of months.
