Time To Go, 2020

At least grandson Daniel seems oblivious to the carnage 2020 has brought 

So farewell, 2020. No one needs me to tell them it's been a hellish year - unless you're a manufacturer of hand gel in which case you're rubbing your hands...

It's been a year of:

  • Covid-19
  • Lockdown
  • Hearts unfair demotion
  • Lockdown
  • Fractured family relations
  • Lockdown
  • Elderly relative's much-awaited operation
  • Nae live fitba
  • Lockdown
  • The sad demise of Tim Brooke-Taylor (just weeks after I saw him perform at Edinburgh's Festival Theatre)

On the plus side:

  • Repairing of fractured family relations (albeit a slow work in progress)
  • Hearts reached the Scottish Cup final - which they should have won
  • Grandchildren Jack and Hannah both receiving Gold Merit Awards at school
  • This blog being listed in Feedspot's Top 35 Edinburgh blogs (and, before you ask, there are more than 35 of them...)
  • Er...
  • That's it.

A very happy new year to everyone, particularly to those who read this blog. It may begin in a similar vein but surely 2021 can't be as bad as 2020?
