It’s that time of the year again. Today marks my birthday, but the need to the festivities for another year. As I start my sixty-fourth revolution around our nearest star, I take a brief look back to 2021.
We were certainly in a better position than this time last year. We both had Covid-19; Kathy was about to go to hospital for two weeks, and there were no vaccines on the horizon. Now, we double jabbed with a booster and, at this moment in time, relatively healthy. I’ve started a new course of treatment for my Crohn’s, which hasn’t given me any major issues in any case. For both of work, work goes on as before, although there are surely storm clouds on the horizon in the transport industry. We shall see; time will tell.
On a lighter note, Kathy bought me this delicious rum for Christmas, and it was rather late in arriving. I couldn’t have any for New Year’s as I was working New Year’s Day, so I opened it for the first time last evening and had a shot. This is around £50 a bottle. There’s also a 25 year old vintage which retails on Amazon for £463. Someone has plenty of money though as there’s apparently only three left in stock! If I win a decent prize on the lottery during 2022 perhaps I’ll grab a bottle, if there’s any left! I’m not going to hold my breath!
Today I’m being taken out to lunch, but Kathy won’t tell me where, so I’ll write about my surprise in a later posting!
