covid humbug

I am normally getting all cosy and Christmassy by now, but Loki kind of sums up how I am feeling about Christmas this year. Meh. Bleh. Dare I say… humbug?? This used to be my favourite time of year but Covid has actually managed to put me off Christmas. Not because of the restrictions and all the hardships we’ve gone through these past almost two years (including last Christmas) because, although it’s been very difficult at times, well this is also simply the harsh reality of living through a pandemic. And if we’re lucky we will end up living through it.

Rant Alert! You have been warned…  😉

rainy rain

It’s officially winter and we are being blessed with RAIN which apparently will continue until the end of next week (Dec 30th). Luckily I clued in on this over the weekend and got tons of laundry done (both this week’s sheets and next week’s too) and so I am ready to mostly stay home and do cosy home stuff. Given that Omicron has just put Spain back into the HIGH RISK covid category, this is also a good thing. Hopefully the rain will keep people at home (but remember to support your favourite restaurants by ordering in!). Once again trying to “save Christmas” has put us all at risk. I don’t know about you but I can have Christmas anytime anywhere. But I do hope that you enjoy yours and also stay safe. xx

covid passport

AT LAST! As of today people have to show proof of vaccination to enter any tapas bars or restaurants in Andalucía. This includes whether they are sitting inside or on outdoor terraces. And I am very happy about this. I know that being vaccinated doesn’t mean you can’t be carrying the virus, it’s not foolproof, but it does narrow the field and anything that helps… well, it helps.

I have my updated vaccine passport on my phone, showing the latest booster. So I am good to go. But to be honest, I think I will mostly be laying low over the next couple of weeks.
