Oh this being the UK, we've some masks under noses and a few masks under chins. <_<

I find it difficult to not suggest to them, 'maybe/have you consider wearing it over your nose to better protect yourself?'  un- :bowler:

I am not back in the UK as my flight last night was cancelled due to engine troubles. I'm rebooked on same flight today but can't check-in as I'm no longer verified via the VeriFly app and it won't let you create a same day trip. -_-

:( Hope you can get back on track with your arrangements.

Man that flight back from the US was even more stressful than getting there. Didn't help that the restrictions for returning were upped twice in the two weeks I was there.
And then the weather and all the delays and cancellations on top of that.

Hope you get back soon, spending New Year's on a plane must suck though.

Paid a visit to Breamore church this afternoon, lovely mild weather, first time I've been able to get out and about on my own steam for quite a while. Said a prayer for my elderly mother who passed away a few days before Christmas.

Thanks, both. I've a new covid test and will be at airport early in case they accidentally overbooked.

My condolences, mongers. :(

Very sorry to hear that Mongers.

It looks like a lovely church - going in for a quick prayer reminds me of Larkin's Church Going "a serious house on serious earth".

Thank you guys for the thoughts, I'm glad she's a peace now, especially as sudden onset dementia isn't a nice way to go.

Maybe nearly 93 years old is to long to live, I'd certainly settle for a lot less, but relatively healthy years.

I'm now only really worried about my sister, as she was her main carer for a decade or more and it's really messed up her health as a result, I need to save her.  :hmm:

Make sure you take care of yourself, too.

And yeah, you wouldn't wish dementia on your worst enemy. Or rather, on whoever your enemy cares about.
