Full National Lockdown in the UK. Again.

[dk168]

Get the stone set!

I have to decide which one first - there are three to choose from.

My 40th was in lockdown and it was CRAP. My son had a temperature so we all self-isolated waiting for a covid test. I'd planned to meet my mother in a McDonald's car park and get a present off her.

Nobody (apart from people doing work) has been in our house. I think I've seem my mother 3 times- always a good 2m apart and outside.

I shielded for 4 months last year and am shielding again.

Looking at this lockdown I feel that it isnt strict enough. So many kids still in school (I know people arguing they are key workers when they are totally stretching it, or are working from home), so many services still open, queues for takeaway shops. Its too little too late.

I am joining you all in Paris and will be eating Paris-Brest, steak frites and drinking any booze going.

One person allegedly refused the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine when offered, as he/she would rather wait for the "English" one!

WTF ??
If its one thing this pandemic has highlighted it is the presence of xenophobia

For an Island I'm dismayed that first UK lock down wasn't strict enough
Here, no one got the flu or hardly even a cold last year
Sales of cold and flu medicine was way down
Hand washing etc certainly helps but viruses come in from overseas

Taiwan is a great example of how an island with a large population can stay safe
In fact they have impressed me so much durring this pandemic once when we have overseas flights again i might just go have a look see

I was born and originated from Hong Kong, a former British colony, and those in power insisted for its citizens to have identity cards. I had one when I was old enough to have one since I was about 11yo.

To this day, UK does not have ID cards for whatever reasons.

That is just one example of what is wrong with UK for a start.

Personal opinion and all that, and I shall stop here or I will get very angry!

Nah, it is most likely to the EC Aqua with step cut Morganite traps from Jeff W as a 3-stone ring, as I have wanted to set that Aqua since I had it in 2016!

I'm so sorry @SapphireLover !

I CAN comfort you though: I know the original bakery where the Paris Brest was invented (it's tdf), the best place for steak frites and the wine generally decent here!!!

Something to look forward to!!
Hugs!!

Although stupid Brexit means we can only bring back 21 bottles. We normally go to France every year and bring far more back than that!

 

[Tartansparkles]

And London has declared a major incident because Coronavirus is out of control. You couldn't make this stuff up

 

[Jambalaya]

Not very flattering! It's an English word for a bit of a d!ck, as in ya know, willy woo widgey.

Willy woo widgey?

Yes, however, have you seen their bar?

Not many 3-star restaurants have bars that grand unless they are located inside a grand hotel, based on my own experience.

[MaisOuiMadame]

And it's freshly renovated, too!!

But will they tolerate my table dancing??

I have not seen the prices for their cocktails, however, if they are anywhere near what they charge at the American Bar at the Savoy, then I can't afford to get drunk in there!

They will have to!

Too flipping right they will! Heels, push up bra & everything!!
