We all knew they were coming.....more restrictions. All those plans of boozy nights catching up with friends were slowly disappearing into a covid-induced haze.
When it was announced that all craic would cease after 8pm my social diary for the festive season dried up.
But I'm determined to be as positive as I can. Nothing can be as bad as full lockdown, when I was confined to my house on my own, permitted to go in a 2km radius and also try to continue to educate 31 kids via zoom.
Please bear in mind that when I went to college, I was given tuition on how to write straight on a blackboard using chalk! That's as much educational technology I've been given.
Anyway, I'm determined to look on the bright side and concentrate on what I CAN do this Christmas.
Here's my list so far
- Meet friends for dinner/drinks in the early afternoon.
- Meet up with three households in someones house. (dangerous!)
- Go to an early cinema viewing of a film (looking forward to "The Lost Daughter" and "Belfast")
- A matinee performance of panto, any show
- Walks in parks, Belvedere etc
- Shopping
- Religious ceremonies. I'm very partial to a Christmas midnight mass especially if Emmet Cahill is singing.
- And if any of my friends would decide to have a shotgun wedding or renew their wedding vows, that would be great, thanks!
If you have anything to add to this list, it would be much appreciateed, Just might save my sanity this time around!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
