yeah well….it’s about time you suffered after all your lovely boating pic’s! ??
I am suffering too. We were going to spend the week on the island, now I’m at this fabulous restaurant on a golden beach with a deep blue sea as background. Suffering is what I do best???

and flying out to Mallorca to see the boat on Tuesday :). However easyjet in their wisdom cancelled 95% of flights until mid July so have to go from heathrow :(. Boat should be A1 as already been lifted, serviced and even the seakeeper should be in A1 condition. Beer fridge broke last year so surely that will be fine!

Just a word of warning. We flew from Heathrow on Tuesday morning and it wasn’t fun! Bag drop on business was 40 minutes, security was another 35 minutes. It seemed that there was no where near enough staff even for the small numbers flying!
also people looked like they had “forgotten “ how to fly! Leaving laptops and liquids in bags etc and not emptying pockets, arriving with cases over the weight limit and so on. Make sure you leave enough time.

Virus is unable to differentiate between blood cells and serum in adults and “ children “
Something magic does not happen as your age .

Here in Italy there vax program is down to 12 .

TBA in the U.K.
But ultimately as more and more folks are vaxed up there will only be those unvaxed regardless of age left for the virus to mutate in .

I guess there will a pause then a risk benefit analysis exercise once the EU are down to 12 yr ?

Nothing is without risks .

Think about the end game ultimately?
It’s all gonna be credible vax proof test * and just before you travel a neg antigen .

There is no more one can do that’s it distilled down to the minimum risk(s) all round .

Both directions .Failures leaving are barred .Failures incoming isolate and go through a re test regime .

Any where to anywhere and back in Europe or the wider world .

* Agreed approved vax for the region you intend to visit .
Eg Sputnik s not E MA ( European Medical agency / authorities) so ban Russian s and Hungarians coming in .

Which brings me round to fraud and corruption seeing I have mentioned “ Russians” .
Never mind about HMS Defender , that s a cake walk incident to potential Russian dodgy vax , tests and fake docs .Mutant spreading potential as they cheat around Europe .
Put simply avoid places they go .......for now until some credible governance can be put in place . My view this Russian aspect .
