It's going to be Christmas alone! For the first time in my quite long life, I will be completely on my own for the whole of this year’s drastically unfestive period, and probably for months to come after, until we emerge from Tier 4 safely vaccinated.
My two daughters are in Sydney and Los Angeles, and the rest of the family homes range from Oxford to Oregon.
A situation which will lead to interesting internet experiments, involving multiple participants and time zones.
