My brother and his 8 month pregnant antivax wife are coming over to stay tomorrow, right after spending 2 days staying with her antivax family. If anything is going to break my 21 month high-score run of avoiding the Covid, this is going to be it. I was hoping that the rules for family meetings in Wales would change between the brother and his family I actually tolerate turning up and them, but no joy. I've never been more tempted to take a red biro to a lateral flow test.

It's complicated - if someone in your household tests positive, and you're Not vaxed, you have to isolate for 10days (well, 7 now)- testing if you get symptoms.
If someone else in the house tests positive during those 10(7) days, the timer doesn't reset.

If you Are vaxed (or unvaxed and under 18), you isolate until you can get a negative PCR test- with that you're free to leave the house etc.
If someone else later tests positive, you have to get another test and isolate until you get another negative result.



Time for the traditional xmas breakfast of marmite on toast, and then start getting the stuff ready for lunch. Veggy Madras.

Council started installing new street lights about a decade ago & they cut down dramatically on light pollution. Which would be great if they hadn't stopped after doing one bloody street.

Council stopped spending money after 2010? Hmmm, I wonder why.

Merry Christmas to everyone who didn't vote for Tories or Brexit.

Going on a conversation I had with my siblings earlier in the year, I agreed that we would only buy the children in the family gifts.

Turns out I might have been the only one who stuck by that rule.
So really the question is how many people are going to get upset.

Some kindly people turned up with some bar heaters and we've got some cups of tea on so I think we'll survive, it's a slightly grim Christmas miracle

Tell him you'll call the local paper if he doesn't turn it on. Or threaten to break open whatever cupboard or room the controls are in and turn it on yourself. What a git.
Merry crimble for those celebrating. I ate the last of my Xmas food last night so I'm on a baked potato for the next 2 days til the shops open again.

You should hook as many of those super inefficient electric heaters up as possible to cost the parish far more than if they just stuck the heating on
