Here in UK we were very naughty people last night - .

As of midnight tonight - total lockdown until at least mid-February.

We still have our handicapped daughter and her equally, but differently. handicapped husband to manage.

Thanks for ALL your positive thoughts and comments, dear SIG-friends, we only did what was right, without being righteous.

You all take care.

May you have some blessings from "upstairs", given your family challenges and the lockdown.

Thanks, folks, for all the moral support. We are doing the same for our families back in Canada and in the PNW of the USA.

We were very bad people last night.

In a totally quiet village, with only a few flickering TV lights on, we walked half a mile in the -3C to bring in the New Year with an old and very dear friend, whose husband is ten miles away, slowly dying of the most appalling kind of dementia it's possible to imagine. For her, the coming year can only bring heartache in large amounts, so we couldn't let her see it in without us being there to show that we love her and will be there for her when needed.

For the last forty-something years, except when I had been away on duty, or in Canada or USA, we have shared New Year's celebrations together, and with her son and his family living in the mid-west of the USA, she would have been alone.

Not going to happen, we decided.

So we knocked on her front door, said hello, had a cheery chat, and had a little cry, too, and drank a toast to absent friends.

I'm not a believer, but this came to mind - 'Forasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of mine, ye have done it unto me'.

Take care, everybody, in the coming year, and more importantly, take care.

Good for you Tac! And blessings for being such a great friend, and person.
