Honestly no idea when I’ll be able to travel from California to see my parents in Spain, feel your pain
One. lol

I don't envy the fella when Kim Jong comes to visit with the antidote
 
Some big talk this morning about anti obesity, would be nice if its sincere but hard to believe from a party that's first act was to cancel free swimming for kids. Here in Palma local authorities have seen the value of more people running and cycling and have sacrificed a section of the road on main strips to extend cycle paths. Not sure if the UK are doing anything practical to encourage more physical activity and healthy eating or it's just posturing
 
....the Government announce ‘essential only travel to Spain’ and Transport Secretary Grant Shapps takes his family on holiday to Spain yesterday.

Bit of a Dominic Cummings situation but nobody seems to be making a fuss.
Mainly because it seems it was a quick decision yesterday after figures got released. It’s the kind of decision making that was lacking months ago.
 
I'm pretty gutted. I live in Spain and am due to visit my dad who's in a care home. Haven't seen him this year. Devastated actually. Nothing can be done I understand that but it doesn't make it any less painful. Not everyone travelling is going on holiday for a jolly. I realise you aren't necessarily talking about my situation.

What's your job mate?
 
one of the girls who works for me went to Ibiza on sat. I warned her and told her she was nuts.

no idea where we stand now? will she face disciplinary action? i have no idea

Not her fault if the Government said it was safe to travel in the first place quarantine free. The direction coming from them is just ridiculous and the papers didn't help by spouting stuff like 'freedom' and 'summer holidays are back on'.

I do wonder why people started booking flights though as this was always a possibility.
 
I'm currently working online remotely.

Won't be ideal, nothing is right now, but do you have other family in England where you could live with for 3 weeks, or stay in a hotel (and continue to work remotely from that location), after 2 weeks isolating there, you have no concerns and can visit your Dad the 3rd week?.... When you return to Spain you're working remotely from home anyways...
We currently have a guy in my office whose visiting family in Poland, so he's gone for 3 weeks, using 1 week holidays and working remotely the other 2 weeks, when he returns he'll work from home for another 2 weeks and then return to the office.... The technology is there now, so make the most of it.... As long as your boss is reasonable, and in this case he/she really should be, then it's very doable...
