20/20 is the gold standard for vision, and the year 2020 was the gold standard for a crappy year. Here’s hoping that 2021 makes a better standard and one we will be able to look back as being a much happier year. Unfortunately it will be a very different, not so united, UK full of uncertainty for the young in particular. At least it appears that Bojo hasn’t totally crapped up relations with the world’s biggest economic bloc which must be a relief to many. All we need now is for the Oxford vaccine to get rapid approval and maybe we can get back to some sort of normality well before Easter.
On a brighter note, Christmas will still be one for the kids to enjoy with their parents, and technology does at least allow the rest of the extended family to ‘Zoom’, Skype or ‘Facetime’ their presence even if they cannot be there in person.
I hope you all manage to have a happy time of it all, even if you, like me, use whisky and ginger to anaesthetise the pain of not being able to be there to actually give the kids a cuddle. I’ll give you all a Ben Bracken toast to happier times this evening (memo to self, must pick up another bottle on December 27th!) :yahoo:
