    Never any need to apologise, real life gets in the way sometimes, cheeky git.

    Back for three more 12 hour shifts starting tomorrow. Then off for four and then we're merging the two teams we've had going. I'm a little anxious over the whole thing.

    Are you then returning to your old practice?. It is nervewracking, lads at work here have been slacking a bit but now we have two isolating awaiting test results which has sharpened them up.. If you are happy with your own levels of precaution then you've done all you can.

    For the moment we're staying where we are at the other practice, but I'm hoping if this goes ok we'll be back to normal soon. It's all a bit strange isn't it.

    I adapted pretty ok to it i think. Anxiety was up but even people who had never been anxious before felt that.. I'm a solitary ould bird so distancing/isolation didn't do much either, just lucky i got to stay working. Worst part of slowly emerging from the restrictions is seeing how reckless/ignorant so many people are.

    It's pretty autumnal in the west, mild but wet and windy. Oh that reminds me of a pub in the good old days :P

    Hope you are well Swannie

    All my favourite javahouses have been closed for months in SoCal. I suspect that one or more may go bankrupt and never open again.

    Some businesses already folded, the non-food service pubs have another three weeks to wait, of course there is much speculation but most places keeping their card close to their chest, always the way!

    The California governor has been acting more presidential than the anti-masker-in-chief since the beginning of this pandemic crises. If independent, California would be 5th in the world in GDP, so he has been using his vast financial leverage to not only help his state, but also several surrounding states with resources. It appeared that California was flattening its COVID curve, then the protests occurred in the thousands, many marching without masks and spewing all their fellows with shouting spray. Now California is spiking worse than before. The economic consequences will destroy some of the better javahouses, making Swannie sad.

    He refuses to wear a mask. His latest excuse was that wearing a mask was a double-edged sword. Claims that people are always touching their masks and thereby defeating its purpose. He fails to acknowledge that one purpose of the mask is to block spraying other people. But he is so self-centered that he only cares about himself, and not others. He is getting quite a anti-masker following after months of refusing to wear one. He has resumed holding political rallies with thousands of adoring fans crammed together in enclosed spaces shouting their spray on each other. Truly super-spreader events.

    It's devastating, i only have to deal with a few idiots on the bus not wearing theirs and it saddens me.. working flat out in healthcare the last few months must seem like such a waste for those who were..
