Well since they have no interest in talking to me, I can't ask

Country is going into a lockdown light for all of November. In the hopes of being able to spend Christmas with family again.
Unless of course your family lives in another country where they're still only taking half arsed measures and it'll definitely still be a mess at Christmas

So definitely not going home on my week off next week for my mum's birthday.

And back to home office full time.

Ice skating rinks will remain closed.

It's going to be a tough month. At least we're still allowed to go outside though.
