Dear readers, I hope you all have started 2021 with a smile, and with a wish that this will be a good year. By the end of this year I believe that the vaccine has changed living a lot. However, I still hope that we will keep eg hand washing routines. The virus has forced us to spend more time at home. And in my case, reading and writing keeps me busy. Writing is part of my life, and with some professional help, I will soon provide you with Swedish translations. Since I have friends who do not know Swedish I have written in English. I hope this will be appreciated!

Stay safe 🐾

2021 is here to stay. A new, fresh year that will bring change. A vaccine(s) protecting us from COVID-19 is available, and it will take some time for immunity to grow. A new year also means new laws. Pandemic laws will be introduced. Early, very early, I mentioned that the term “Force majeure” must be broaden, or maybe a completely new subtitle must be introduced. It seems like there will be “Pandemic laws”. I hope that they rather will have laws instead of recommendations. Recommendations make people unsure, and that is dangerous in a pandemic society.

2021 has so far been rather stormy for the Trump administration. It is hard to believe news showing messy sceneries from the Capitolium. And people have died due to this. It reminds me a little of the French July revolution in 1830 illustrated by the famous painting “Liberty Leading the People” by Eugène Delacroix. Maybe these reactions are due to the Corona virus. Biden and Harris are vaccinated so they are prepared for transition into the White House.

Anyway, just a few reflections. I have had some days off from writing, and I am starting this year slowly. As usual, I end by saying:

Stay safe and stay tuned  🐾

Pre-new year writing. How to exit New Year and begin a smooth 2021? It is an easy transfer between 2020 and 2021 since vaccination has started. This year has been unique and very tough, and it is so good that vaccination has started. That makes me feel good with regard to a positive 2021. This is more of a logistic issue now. I mean, if the vaccin is available in sufficient amount, it is a question of distribution.

Life has been challenged 2020. The little, daily life has become so important. Travelling has not been possible to the usual extent. I have stayed at home and I have been happy with that. I have my hobbies and that makes me contente. What has been tough, is not being able to see friends as usual. Just to hang around, do nothing or have a cup of tea etc. Socialize. No hugs. This has been very serious, and still is.

Most probably I will see Sweetie and Cutie on New Year. I miss walking in the forest with them, and that is a good beginning of 2021. Lady (Sweetie) was so calm and careful during Christmas, like she understands that this is serious. I am sharing Lady Gaga – some inspiring New Year music.

Stay safe 🐾

These days are really time for spending time having good food. A lot of traditional Christmas food. I got a little tired of ham, herring etc and started to long for home made Yorkshire pudding with sirup and whipped cream. It is like having dessert for dinner.

You, or at least me, need something to do meanwhile waiting for the vaccin to kick in. Vaccination has started, and now it is only time to wait for immunity to increase. Slowly, we will see the effects of the vaccin, and still we have to be reminded of the presence of the Corona virus and other viruses as well. Therefore, I did some cooking this evening. And I did something I haven’t done for a while. It looks like a souffle, but is called a Yorkshire pudding. Very tasty and it reminds me of summer.

Stay safe 🐾

Corona Christmas. I have been to the countryside, and I have travelled very carefully. With medical face mask, distancing and hand washing. I have spent some time with sweetie and cutie.  Lady was very apprehensive. She was very careful about every step, and she garded her place. Like she knows that we have to be careful with the Corona virus. We went for a walk today, and she can only go for little walks since she needs to pay attention to her paws.

Molly did not care so much. She was happy, and she has been with Lady for a year now. Best friends. The three of us went for a walk in the forest. We saw a deer far away. When we go for walks I let them loose in the forest where there are no cars and nothing else that can bother. Sometimes they disappear, and they return after a while. With smiling faces. Lady has thought Molly a lot, and I have a feeling that they both are content.

I did a little catching up in the local news and I found a “Laban cartoon”. This never happens. Lady and Molly detest to stay at home. They always insist of going for walks! But they love staying on the couch.

Stay safe and stay tuned 🐾
