COVID surging in Japan also. The family are hunkering down for the Xmas break. No flying home to see the grandparents in NZ, of course.

The Management's birthday is on Christmas Day and traditionally we have them all here. We are going to miss that. We are still in tier 2 so we can do a bit of careful socialising. I pity the poor blighters in London. They won't have much to celebrate.

Wife's mother is near Blackpool so she cannot come down either.

We can only look at 26A
