My young and energetic and smiling grocer brought me three bags full of bread and milk and coffee and salad and beans and butter and flour and honey. I have food to last till next year. :-)
The mood today at the threshold to the New Year is entirely different from the Christmas mood. Everyone I have either talked or texted to, has been happy and full of hope of a better time to come. The days are lighter, the vaccinations seem realistic, there's hope.
