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…  😉

So yes, two days ago the world hopefully changed for the better. But OMG the Twitter Bernie memes have probably been the thing that has been keeping me laughing and feeling lighthearted this week… this is my favourite so far. But so many are so perfect and make me laugh out loud. I hope Bernie is enjoying them too. What are some of your favourites?

I (almost) never get political here, or anywhere else for that matter. But these past two years I have learned more about US politics than I ever thought possible. I follow developments daily, more so than I do with Spanish politics. And it’s all because of You Know Who. Comedian John Mulaney put it best when he said Trump in the White House is like having a Horse in a Hospital (you can see the full brilliant version on his Netflix special The Comeback Kid)…

But at least this morning the news from the USA is optimistic for the first time since Trump took office. Sure, there were some disappointments, and much justified anger and frustration about obvious voter suppression by the GOP. But the blue wave did happen, at least for the House of Congress which now holds 219 Democratic seats over 193 Republican.

Well done America. Keep fighting! The rest of us need you.
