We are flying to Spain on Sunday, we’re going to see our son and his family, not seen the 3 grandchildren for 8 months, so 2 weeks quarantine a small price to pay.
However we’re taking our daughter 9 year old with us , he comes with us every year to see his cousins, so he is having to live with us for 2 weeks on his return.
That’s the TV remote lost for a fortnight.

No increase over the past three days.
Only a 30% increase over the last 5 days.
That's after around a fortnight of constant doubling every 5 days.
Great news.
Hope it keeps up. I might actually get to Skiathos!

I bought my mosquito/toiletries kit weeks ago.
Repellent, plug in, non-fragrance soap, etc.

I love the ‘early’ packing of new things, toiletries, new book, etc etc. It’s the packing the few days before of things in wardrobe/wherever that I loathe - I get myself into a tizz and usually end up with a suitcase bursting at the seams that needs pruned - sorting out what I don’t really ‘need’ is tedious. Hate that side of the packing malarkey!

Don't forget to leave suitcase space for bringing things back. I make a mistake last year and bought a big jar of honey and some spices from the monestary. Then took it thru customs as hand luggage 😩 they threw my honey in the bin because it classed as liquid. I could have cried. I said I've just bought it from the monks and it's sealed. The woman just said it doesn't matter you can't take it. Did not think about that at all. So it will be going well wrapped in the suitcase this year.

I hate the whole packing experience altogether! It takes me 2/3 attempts to get it right - pack, unpack, cull, repack, etc until I get it around the allowance weight. The funny thing is that after paring it down to what I consider the bare minimum,there are usually at least six items that I don't get to wear when I am on holiday anyway. The same result every time I go away ☹️

Oh Amy, do you really believe middle aged people (some of them at least) go out wanting to spread armpit?

The great sage and philosopher Popeye once said "That's all I can stands, cuz I can't stands n'more!"
I'm not a superstitious person, indeed quite the opposite. But I've not wanted to start my holiday feedback thread until I knew for sure we were going, and at the moment I'm not sure the holiday's going ahead even after we've arrived.
However, if the government stays true to its word, it is now impossible that the necessary figures will tip over in time to prevent my travel, so there we go.
If it doesn't happen it doesn't happen.
Hey-ho, let's go.
