Happy New Year 2020.


Farewell 2020, you will not be missed...

Although I'll always be grateful a plague year fell on an easy to remember numbered year. I get the feeling that will come in handy in the future when looking back.

As a kid, I was hoping the year 2020 would be like a cool Sci-Fi movie, but instead it's been more like a depressing Dystopian one. Who would have thought humans valued Toilet Paper so much in this particular Multiverse.

I thought I'd wrap up 2020 with some quick and very fond Corona related memories from this year:

*Like the time I went into W H Smiths and saw a man keep coughing into the open magazine he was reading before closing it and putting it back on the shelf for the next person. I already have a special hate for 'that guy' who just goes into W H Smiths and spends ages reading comics and magazines he's never gonna buy, and blocking people who might actually wanna get them. But this took my hate for 'that guy' to a whole new level.

*That period when people had to start queuing up outside to go into shops, and local town drunks would think it was funny to just start heckling the line. Getting too close and breathing on people knowing they couldn't escape.

*The time I notices the cashier was acting funny while getting shopping once. Only to find he had badly cut his finger on the plastic of my Microwave Spinach Cannelloni without telling me, so when I got home, I found all my shopping smeared in blood. He'd even manages to get it on the plastic bag and my hands, which I only saw after walking all the way home.

*Getting really sick a couple of weeks ago, and nervously waiting to see if any Corona symptoms appeared days before Christmas. My lungs didn't feel great, and there was even the odd cough, but thankfully I'm pretty sure it was just a really nasty Sinus Infection that was playing hell with my tired and stress out Immune System. It didn't help that this all happened just as it was revealed there was a new super infectious Corona variant discovered in my part of the country.

I'm sure most people have their own Corona nightmares from this year, and I'd love to hear them. So HAPPY NEW YEAR. I really hope 2021 is the year things start to turn around for the better, and that everyone is staying safe this Winter. 

I have to say, I honestly don't know what to expect from 2021 right now.
