Twenty twenty one was another year tinged by Covid-19, with months spent in lockdown (I did a lot of reading, painting and listened to nostalgic music from my teenage years - Paramore and Fall Out Boy, I'm looking at you) and several more months after that with restrictions in place which resulted in outdoor dates and eating Chinese takeaway in the garden with friends. Eventually a little more normality returned and after a lot of flat hunting I moved to London (yay). Now I've had three doses of Pfizer I'm really hoping next year will be another step away from pandemic life so I can do more things, see more of my friends and visit more places.
But for now I'll wish you all a Happy New Year, fingers crossed it's a good one and here are the 2021 photos:
