Panic - not me

Hope you all enjoyed the weekend and our friends across the pond had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Last week we had a perfectly enjoyable night out with friends, a few drinks and a nice (overpriced) Italian meal in our nearby town. Good wine too, which was also a bit pricey but Puglian and just delicious so no complaints really. A new restaurant opened a few weeks ago, Michelin star experience behind it, we haven't tried it yet but probably will in the new year unless......unless we're all locked down again heaven forbid! (I hope with this new variant our vaccines will work against it).

I think many of us have started taking for granted that we can have nights out, cinema, theatre, sporting events etc etc and I really hope we don't have to go into reverse. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed and keeping calm but - just to be on the safe side - I've made three restaurant reservations in the last few days, all for first half of December so we can get together with family and friends that we would be seeing in the new year.  Hopefully we still will and wont be locked down) ) P told me I was wrong to do it and it will depend on others being able to fit in with their own plans anyway but so far so good.

Oh and I'm not a no-show person just in case anyone thinks it, we used to be in the business so I know it from both sides and if a booking can't be kept I'll cancel pronto and they can reallocate. Not panicking just hedging.

Stay safe.

Have a good week.
