New Years Eve…

 Good morning Jazzers on this very frosty New Years Eve Day…

This has been a strange year for everyone, and we have lost friends and families have missed out on so many things, but some of us have come through… so we are blessed.

I do just want to put a huge thank you to all NHS staff, care workers, and teachers amongst so many other people who have got so many through this year. Including those in my own family…

Our young children in this country have not known whether they are going to school or home learning, so many have missed out on their young lives not playing outside, as we were able to do, so many families have relied on charity to eat,  Food banks have had queues waiting for hand outs, does it seem possible that we have benefits for people who own mobile phones and smoke and drink?  I still think when this all started we should have had ration books as we had after the war, so some of those greedy people did not clear the supermarkets shelves… I wonder how much stuff is going to be wasted because it is out of date? we of course did not have supermarkets and most of us had to live within our means, so a sad world of credit and greed. People who do not think they should wear masks and keep their distance, those who pass the hand sanitisers thinking it is silly. (like that chap who pushed past me pulling his mask over his nose at the last minute going into the shop that had been under his chin!)

However beside all the nasty things, some people have gone far beyond what we can believe would happen, people have raised so much money for charity…people have been kind to neighbours and shopping has been done for those who dare not go out, deliveries have been made from local shops, amongst so many great people who have got us through to this New Years eve. Those who have used Face Book and kept in touch with people, and Face time has kept most of us sane. Not sure of Zoom ha ha that has been a laugh! Those who walk past my kitchen window and take the time to wave.

Just hope that most people will be sensible tonight and not get the New Year off to a bad start by mixing in crowds, they can do so much harm to the country.

Here is hoping the vaccine will be the answer  I know several people have already had this…

After all that, I know how much so many of our gang are missing the live music, so some giggle photos, one from Neil which made me go through some old photos, so a real mix today of all sorts. Just random from all different years…and hopefully fun…

May the New Year bring us good health happiness and lots of live music, take care dear friends and stay safe.
