Realxing day walking the dog and watching TV sport; trading messages with #1 son (in Fla for the holidays), he turned 25 today. #2 son working 'til late so just the two of us for dinner, nice'n'quiet. Boxing Day used to be a riot when #1 son was younger as the whole family would visit and we didn't get 5 miniutes to ourselves. All changed now.
Christmas day early dog walk, unwrapping gifts, lateral flow tests for me and #2 son (golf_ghirl was staying home to prep our dinner). One of my nephews came up +ve so he's a no-show. One of my brothers also tested +ve, meaning he, another brother (-ve), and my mother (-ve), had to isolate.
+ve brother travelled up from Plague Central UK on public transport ... we got wind of it just before he travelled and tried to dissuade him but no, he was insistent, and my mother never got to see anyone else other than thru her window, no grandkids or great grandkids ...
Thankfully she tested -ve again today (she's 87 and could do withut covid) as did the brother who lives with her. The other has had a PCR test today and provided that comes back -ve I'll see him in a couple of days, and will have to restrain myself from kicking him round the garden.
