News | The Year That Was

31st December 2020

Year Review

The Year That Was – 2020

Its that time of year again.

Where I look back over the previous year and answer the same 40 questions.

1. What did you do in 2020 that you’d never done before?

OK, New things :-

  1. Became ProvSGD
  2. Experienced a Global Pandemic
  3. Got put in Lockdown multiple times
  4. Worked from home solidly for 9.5 of the 12 months of the year.
  5. Hosted a SRIA Zoom meeting where the Supreme Magus Attended.
  6. Produced several Teams events for Robert Lomas.

2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year?

2020 was 2.5 months long.

The rest of the year has been basically a lockdown, with hordes of plague spreaders all over the place. Everything is closed, and nothing can be done. I am therefore counting this whole year a bust.

3. Did anyone close to you give birth? 

Nobody. Well that I know about. I have not seen anyone since March 13th.

But since everyone on the planet is locked inside their houses and everywhere is closed, I expect the amount of babies next year will be astronomical. 

4. Did anyone close to you die?

A fair few Masonic Friends passed away this year due to Covid and other issues.

But mostly Covid.

5. What countries did you visit?

Nowhere.

There is a Global Pandemic, all travel is banned. The only time I am legally allowed to go out the house is if I am going to collect food from a supermarket, and that was mostly click and collect.

6. What would you like to have in 2021 that you lacked in 2020?  

The Vaccine.

The Vaccine.

The Vaccine.

The Vaccine!

7. What dates from 2020 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?

  • 13th March – Going into a Lockdown due to Global Pandemic.

Surviving Covid.  This area has a very high infected rate.

9. What was your biggest failure?

Not being productive at all even with working from home for 9+ months.

10. Did you suffer illness or injury?

Nothing!

Not leaving your house really cuts down on injury’s.

11. What was the best thing you bought?

I do not think I bought anything cool this year, since the whole year has been a stay indoors just watching the world burn kind of year.

12. Whose behaviour merited celebration?

  • The NHS workers who have spent 9 months fighting in the front lines of a Pandemic, surrounded by the infected and having to watch the idiots ignoring the rules and gathering in mass helping the virus spread.

13. Whose behaviour made you appalled and depressed? 

  • The Idiots breaking lockdown rules and having mass parties, etc.
  • The idiots rioting and smashing up the world because they can.
  • Those who are spreading lies and fear, claiming the virus is a hoax.

2020 is the year of idiots.

14. Where did most of your money go?

Amazon I think 🙂.

The only place still open and selling none essential stuff.

15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?

The possibility of a vaccine.

16. What song will always remind you of 2020?

  • a) happier or sadder? Sadder.
  • b) thinner or fatter? Fatter.
  • c) richer or poorer? Richer.

19. What do you wish you’d done less of? .

Being in Lockdown.

20. How will you be spending Christmas?

Wales is in a full lockdown. No visiting, No Pubs, No Shops, No seeing anyone.

So I will spending Christmas in a post-apocalyptic lockdown.

21. What was your favourite month of 2020? 

January. Well January & February were the only 2 months without a lockdown, and Jan has a few more days.

23. How many one-night stands?

I did not even see many human people in 2020, and those I did were in masks staying several meters apart.

Unfortunately since TV studios are also locked down, all shows have been old ones.

Nobody is leaving 2020 sane!

I guess Harley Quinn.

Everyone. I have not seen anyone due to the global pandemic.

As a species we are doomed.

40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year. 

From EvilGothGnome’s Covid Christmas Carols: Sing away your fears

Silent night, Covid night
All is closed, all have blight
‘lone yon shielding Mother and Child
Fearful infant so tender and mild
Sleep in lockdowned peace
Sleep in lockdowned peace

Silent night, Covid night!
Everyone’s suffering, incredible plight!
Conspiracies stream from Facebook cries;
Anti vaxers sing its-all-lies!
Covid the Destroyer is born!
Covid the Destroyer is born!
Covid the Destroyer is born!

Silent night, Covid night
Six-foot gaps, mask’s in sight
Everywhere closed, no one goes out,
Do not sing, do not shout!
Stay Home, Stay Safe, Save Lives
Stay Home, Stay Safe, Save Lives
Stay Home, Stay Safe, Save Lives
