Good evening
 
These are confusing times indeed.
One minute we are under the Rule of Six, then Tier 3 and very soon the entire country will be back in lockdown.
So, while we may feel life is moving slowly at the moment because our lives are essentially on hold, in other ways, things change rapidly, sometimes within hours.
That is why we require absolute clarity from our leaders in explaining very simple rules that we must all abide by.
Sadly, some politicians, of all hues, seem to be just as confused as the rest of us and are having to apologise for statements they have made after being told the information they gave out was wrong.
So let’s just keep it easy to understand.
When 'lockdown 2' begins stay in for the next month unless you are going out for essential supplies, for a medical appointment or to work if you can’t work from home. Keep in touch with your family and friends via email, phone or on a ‘virtual hangout.’
Write your Christmas list, your cards, make your Christmas pudding or cake and finally ... try not to get too stressed.
