((((((((Dina))))))

I had a good birthday, yes. I got the original TRIGUN anime, plus a new TV stand for my new TV. Unfortunately, I now need a new DVD player, but that should be easy enough to source.

I appreciate the birthday cake you posted for me.

Well, I used to watch "Bewitched" a lot back in the day.

*looks at Dina's avatar* Well, hello Samantha

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYBODY!!

I have a bunch of indie comics on order and the coof has screwed up the delivery times. Just like everything else.

The new glasses are very well.

But life has effectively ground to a halt because my government has lost its mind in its overreaction to a respiratory ailment. 4000 British medical experts have written to the government to that effect. Following the rules is like playing Calvinball, they change so rapidly and unpredictably. 110,000 people have had to wait for over a year to get treatment because the NHS has been preserved in amber so “it’s not overwhelmed”. Professor Karel Sikora, Oncologist at the University of Manchester, predicts between 20,000 - 50,000 excess deaths from cancer due to this hyper focus.

COVID-19 is a blip. The long term consequences of the overreaction will not be. Especially the psychological ones.
