My wife comes home tomorrow after being in Davos,Switzerland for 6 weeks !
That all sounds horrible Rob. Hope your wife arrives safely and cheers you up.
I hardly like to write that things are fine here at the moment. Anyone arriving from abroad has to be tested at the airport and then again five days later. In between they have to quarantine and are only allowed out to take an isolated walk. The quarantine bit is interpreted differently by some people, but when my daughter came home for her grandmother's funeral she rented an airbnb and stayed there for the first five days. She plans on coming again next weekend, with boyfriend and they'll rent a summer house somewhere I think. She lives in Sweden so reckons coming here makes her less likely to catch it, even with the travel risk.
Meanwhile we have the volcanic eruption to entertain us! I hated the endless earthquakes that preceded it, made me feel sea sick, and now it is erupting in place just too far away to tempt me there. Plenty of people going to gawp though, despite warnings of toxic gas and potential new fissures. Oh well!
