goatface posted:My sister wants us to leave tier 4 to have Christmas dinner at her house. There are people literally rushing to gtfo from London right now. One friends parents are SAS evaccing her by driving from Birmingham tonight, couple of people already booked train tickets and nmultiple people are working on their best British excuses on how they are an exception while everyone else has to just stay where they are. I enjoy the whatsapp groups going all  while planning on which games to binge play.

they change aunt bessie's appearance a lot. she used to look older and there was a spell when she had a somewhat sinister grin she looks a bit knackered and overworked now imo

Was expecting that due to Covid, there wouldn't be the usual December reports of incredibly cheap and unsafe winter wonderland experiences where everyone demanded their money back because it had one cardboard reindeer, no fake snow and an alcoholic santa.

I'm cooking a leg of lamb as it's two and a vegetarian. Duck was also an option but the lamb was a bargain.

We've shrunk down from goose to duck as there will be only 4 of us. Covid sucks dick, and I say that as a hospital worker so I should know.

depends how you do it i guess. could do a rack, or conversely you could cook some shanks for like the entire day if you tend to have your christmas dinner in the evening rather than at lunchtime my default, contextless suggestion would be a baked cheese for the veggie and a chateaubriand or something for the fleshies

i'm alone on christmas (small violin) as my mum is high risk and at the other end of the country, and my partner is seeing her family and keeping numbers small. I've bought a falafel pizza (???), will maybe maybe get some doughballs, some cake, probably more cake. It's a pandemic so making sacrifices is fine, but gently caress you if you think im not drinking

Me and my dad just went through some bottles of homemade wine he'd found while clearing my granddad's house. We got through 6 (of 10), blackberry, strawberry, sloe, marrow, carrot, unknown. Not one labelled later than 1982. All went down the sink but three were good enough for a taste first.

I was expecting crimbo lockdown given the state of things so this week I had a giant crate turn up from Majestic, a giant crate from Brewdog, and I'm all set for whatever the festive pandemic can throw at me by spending the next 2 weeks paralytic (tier 3, probably should be tier 4 given the number of sweaty covid cases staggering round the Tescos coughing up a lung this afternoon)

People were told that all the rest of the year was so they could see family at Christmas. If the science people expected anything else to happen they're too deep in their models with the population as rational actors.
