Christmas parties are like hens' teeth this year. I was at one on Monday night for my camera club.

Good to see everyone in a sort of festive mood, swigging in front of the screen, but a reminder that this has been a year like no other. Hopefully next year we'll have an actual vaccine, not just a symptoms mitigator, so that we can all meet again like we used to.
