streeteries

Learned a new word this morning. Streeteries. A new term for enclosed outdoor eating spaces (think it was first coined in NYC). And yes, you don’t really want to be using that word. Or go to one of these places. My friend Julie @woollygee sent me this photo today, taken in northern England. I mean WTAF. How is this any different from eating indoors? In fact, it’s probably worse because it’s a small enclosed space without proper ventilation. Can’t you just SEE all those Covid droplets forming on the inside of the plastic??? Looks like a giant petri dish to me. With a lid.

balcony life

This pigeon reminded me of me during the first lockdown when I spent all my “fresh air” moments either on my balcony or up on my rooftop. Now we have partial confinement until after the next long weekend December 6-8th, not allowed to travel out of our municipalities, restaurants and non-essential shops closing at 6 pm, curfew between 10 pm and 7 am. I’m good with that. Hope it helps. How are the Covid rules where you are?

me again!

Well it would be, wouldn’t it? 😉 Anyhow, check this out. I was feeling particularly annoyed with selfish assholes who think they are entitled to do whatever they want because, well, they’re selfish assholes. So I put up this tweet and somehow it has garnered over 150 likes – more than I’ve ever had ever. Also got a whack of new followers, but they’ll probably unfollow after they realise I am mostly talking about tapas and wine.

Look, I get that we are all suffering from Covid fatigue. But I’ll tell you what’s worse than Covid fatigue. No, it’s not actually dying yourself (because then you’d only suffer until you die) but having someone, or many someones, you love die. Between US Thanksgiving and Christmas things are looking pretty scary.
