And thanks for the tip about the Self Employed Income Support Scheme – it’s always so hard to keep track of these deadlines etc…

Thanks, Mellissa. Yes, I’m a fan of Llandudno and really looking forward to going again. I couldn’t let 2020 pass without at least one visit to Wales!

It is one positive thing and it really boosted our mood as finances are tight. I hope you enjoy the trip to LLandudno, my mum loves that place!

Thanks for the comment. Yes, I have every sympathy for people who because of their work have to wear masks for long periods. I have a mild lung condition that means while I can wear a mask for a few minutes, anything over that is problematic. So shields/visors are a good compromise for me. But that aside, while I accept that there is a place for masks in a clinical setting, I am dubious about their benefits in shops, schools, and so on. Even the deputy chief medical officer, Jenny Harries, has said that the evidence in favour is not very strong. And I often seen people fiddling with their masks and then touching things, thus actually increasing the chances of passing the virus on.
