In just over 6 hours 2020 will come to an end. Let us all hope that before too long 2021 will be a better year.
I feel quite irritated that the fireworks are still going ahead in Sydney even though we have had more Covid cases in New South Wales in the last few weeks and the numbers are increasing.
I can't believe our State Premier has allowed the fireworks to go ahead in view of this. She really needs to grow a backbone and say no to the fireworks. I am sure the $7 million dollars cost could be put to better use in the current climate.
There are supposedly strict guidelines for the display and people can't just wander in to the CBD to watch the fireworks, but there will always be some who won't abide by the rules and that will just increase the Covid cases across our State.
Sorry for the rant, but I am so annoyed at the moment.
I had to put Covid in place of the 0's in 2020 especially as it has dominated our year.
I for one will be in bed well before midnight and won't be celebrating the end of this year.
I’m confused as to why the fireworks are going ahead, what a waste of money especially when only the rich with a dining/hotel permit will be able to watch them. The premier says it’s for us all to watch on TV. Meanwhile the Covid numbers are slowly increasing and spreading wider.
I hope 2021 is a better year for us all but unfortunately I have a feeling that 2020 was just the beginning
Happy New Year Babs! We were put into Tier 4 at midnight so almost lockdown. We are supposed to stay home and only allowed to mix with one other person outdoors. The news is full of dire warnings! Why do I think there will be people ignoring the rules and warnings! I am hoping there will be no fireworks here which frighten the boys so much. I just want to see the back of 2020 and hope and pray 2021 will be healthier and happier! Take care and stay safe!
Babs, this is a stunning image. Perfect for these times. All of our national celebrations are virtual this year. Heartbreaking but necessary as we are having a terrible time with the virus. Happy New Year! 🎉
Lovely farewell to 2020 - I hope we forget the disaster it has brought over the world. I hope everyone learns lessons from what happened and is still ongoing.
A Happy and Healthy 2021 to you and your family, Babs. Fireworks are forbidden in the Netherlands this year, the hospitals are bursting through their seams 😞 but still heard the occasional bang this week ; hope people will behave this evening/night ...
Goodbye 2020 & good riddance! I love this image Babs, so good with the Covid 0's.
Wishing you a happier, safer 2021 and thanks for all the chuckles you've given me this year x
Fav.
I was staggered to hear that the fireworks were going ahead in Sydney. Our local fireworks were cancelled and we have no community spread in WA. wishing you and David a safe and happy 2021.
A super image - it would be lovely to say goodbye to 2020 and to Covid-19, but we are a long way from being rid of the virus. Still, we should see progress in 2021. Happiness and health to you and yours!
I said exactly the same about our UK fireworks Babs. Surely we won’t have the excess expense of a full blown display of over the top celebration but bet we do! The countries are strapped for cash & all going up in smoke! I haven’t seen yours yet & ours still to come, I just hope it’s watered down a bit. Others would say the opposite I’m sure & it will buck us all up....not me, I shall be in bed!
Rant from me over too! Happy New Year Babs! Xx
Love the image Babs, but very surprised that the fireworks are going ahead. I think the fireworks in Sydney are the best in the world but seems strange that they are still having them.
Great composition. I’m with you Babs and the others. Why put on fireworks just for the tv. What exactly was the point. We’re they just driving home the fact that we were locked at home. Silly indeed.
Totally share your thoughts there. London still had fireworks but no people were allowed on the streets, so they were empty. Actually, that made me shed a tear watching on TV to see it all deserted. Here's hoping the new year brings better things, though I suspect it will be a few months before we see it. All the best to you and yours as always xx
@kjarn I was gobsmacked that the fireworks in Sydney went ahead. Even though numbers were limited there were still lots of people who gathered at the hotels and restaurants etc to watch them. I guess you didn't have a permit to rub shoulders with the elite, ha ha. I guess we will have to wait a few days now to see if anyone transmitted the virus during the celebrations.
Then we have got the pink cricket, Ugh!
@pamknowler Thanks Pam, sorry to hear you are in Tier 4. Must ring my sister and see where she is with lockdown, she lives in Lancashire.
@merrelyn I was staggered too especially as they have just started a new cluster of the virus in Sydney. We live about 200 km north of Sydney and I hope nobody from the city travels up here during the summer holidays.
@happypat@carolmw Thanks. I couldn't believe the fireworks still went ahead in Sydney.
@johnfalconer Indeed. Gladys really needs to grow a backbone and say 'No'
@casablanca I haven't watched the fireworks on TV, felt too irritated. Rather than cheering people up I think fireworks this year made people feel even more depressed because none of us were able to enjoy them. I am with you and think it will be a while yet before things improve, but ever hopeful. Happy New year to you and your gang.
Gladys needs to stop worrying and commenting on what Queensland is doing and get her own house in order. I have been saying for ages that she keeps talking about Qld to deflect attention away from her own short comings
@terryliv Absolutely. We could definitely do with your premier here. Don't get me started on Gladys, Ugh! She is like a wet lettuce. (That is me being polite) I won't tell you what I scream at the television when she is on there. Now she has buggered off on holiday too.
LOL We also scream at the TV when she is on. Shut up!!! Shut up!!! For God's sake woman, stop yapping.
I would love to see her and Morrison in the same room. They would both be talking incessantly at the same time about nothing and no one else would be able to get a word in edgeways.
