January 2021...where Did It Go?!

Ask a Question

Despite the lockdown doom and gloom, hasn't January flown by already?

Or is it just me?

This month seems to have dragged on & on for me. It was my birthday at the beginning of Jan & feels like it was so long ago. All the days are just merging into one at the moment because I'm lacking normal routine this time around.

Yes, it flew by for me also. Feels like Xmas was ages ago, although I did see a house with their Xmas tree and lights still up - anything to cheer themselves up indoors, I suppose πŸ˜‚

SAdeals the staff probably haven’t returned to the premises to take them down yet. I guess they didn’t think anyone would be walking past to see? completely unlike the supermarkets, who seem to have been preparing for Easter since Boxing Day lol

Yes, it has gone by in a 'Flash Ah Ah, saviour of the universe' sorry, I went off track then. But January has disappeared - and that just reminded me to 'pinch/punch' Mr T - I'm back now - he was unimpressed as I usually beat him and had forgotten until I read this, So February has started with a chuckle for me!

Getsome the problem is that you still have to abide by all the lockdown restrictions after having the vaccine too..

SAdeals Yeah, good luck with that.

People don't give a monkeys around here now, so having the vaccine will make them even worse.

It makes me sad 😒

SAdeals If everyone who wants the vaccine has had the vaccine then majority of restrictions will have to be lifted or we have people vaccinated but still in lockdown

I actually hope this whole year flies by so that we can see where we are with this Coronavirus, and how effective the vaccines are actually going to be.

I felt it really dragged here to.

Usually I'd book up a cheeky little European City break to get over the post Christmas blues, can't even do that this year.
