It certainly wasn’t meant with any malice and I am sorry if it came across that way. 2020 has been a rubbish year in our household on the whole not just with COVID but other things including the death of a close relative and my kid being sick in hospital. However, over the course of a whole year, there will always be upsides.
On the call were colleagues in Belgium, France and. Germany, some of who had much more stringent lockdowns than me in the UK and struggled a lot with those. We had weekly support calls and ad hoc calls at other times. We were all very, very busy with work with little outside to compensate for this due to lockdowns.
I guess it depends on the individual outlook on how you would summarise the year. On the whole, it was rubbish for me and I wouldn’t want to repeat it but there will always be good things over the many days. It’s not black and white.
