I just had a "another shit Christmas then is it?" and remembered that last Christmas mother and I were in the depths of COVID and I woke up on Christmas Day itself to discover I couldn't smell or taste and sadly ate some Cadbury's chocolate fingers and it was like eating candles.

Mum took to her bed on Boxing Day like a doomed Victorian and was delirious and more ill than she's ever been before for over a week. Following her collapsing one night I was sat outside her bedroom at 3am for a couple of nights to check she hadn't copped it.

I, not quite with it, decided I HAD TO earn £££ in case mum couldn't work for a long time so I did a big NYE Twitch gig high on codeine and Lemsip and while doing Liza I went "ONE MINUTE PLS!" and ran off to check Anna hadn't died because how awful if she had while I was Liza.

So anyway, even if this year's Christmas is just me and Anna watching Netflix and eating whatever was available down Tesco (tinned pilchards on cream crackers?) at least it'll be better than last year.

Oh and Anna went back to work literally ONE DAY after getting out of bed for the first time, it was INSANE, she went from bedbound and delirious to getting back on horses in the space of 48 hours because COVID is cuckoo-bananas.
