The Day After Yesterday

So we stumble through the wreckage of what was Christmas and consider as usual the stereotype image of Scotland and its population. Bagpipes, kilts and whisky are the usual, but why Scotland? Watching a trailer for bringing in the bells some researching told me that the protagonists although Scottish all live in London. And the trailer? goodness knows where it was recorded.

But Im just being cynical, this time next week all will be back to normal, people killing each other for what? I always remember the lyric of a Genesis song,,,,50,000 men were sent to do the will of one..


Happy new year to all my readers.  .

And so.....that was Christmas.

 And so that was Christmas, well not exactly if you live in Spain. The real Spanish celebration is The Three Kings, in Britain it is  Twelfth Night, so the kids go mad for another week.


I have to confess it confused me initially, when the TV ads and radio were still talking about it. But this is where I have chosen to live.


So still Happy Christmas.

Christmas day 2023


 

LONG COVID

 Heard of it? Long Covid? Like having a bad cold which never leaves. Runny nose, sneezing, you get my drift.

It seems to come and go. at the moment it has retreated for, I suspect, reinforcements. Sadly, there seems to be little can be done apart from getting vaccinated, again and again.

A nurse friend told me I was lucky when I caught the virus, as fully vaccinated. Without the protection of the important jabs it could have killed me.It might have made some people happy.

However I´m still breathing to tell the tale, and the only virus problem I have just now is on my computer.

Stay safe people and Happy Christmas.
