And still Covid-19 ruins lives

I've not added any posts to this blog since 6th April 2021. 

Many of the UK population had had their second jab by then and we were looking forward to being "safe" from the pandemic.

People are still getting Covid-19. People are still dying.

We can hope for a better 2022 but only a fool would bet any money on that being true.

I have seen a few programmes on the TV where river cruising has been the main subject.  Either the Rhine or the Danube.  Both look attractive if not a little pricey. As with most things it is cheaper to go outside the school holidays.  As I work in Education I have a contract that means I have school holidays off. That is really good as I finish in late July and go back in early September after a long summer.  Of course, I get paid less than I used to when I was on a 52-week contract with paid leave. Claire is already retired and able to go at any time.  I retire on 23rd December 2021.  Unless the Government changes it again I am a wage slave a little longer! So it makes sense to look at cruises and holidays in 2022 when it will be cheaper outside the tie of the school holiday system! Where to g...
