Our family live in Dubai. We haven’t seen them for over two years and counting. We speak on zoom, but, that’s difficult for me. I can’t follow group conversations, and, have to prod my husband to bring me into the conversation. I feel as though I spoil it for him. We were going to fly out there in January, as the airports will be heaving during the Christmas travelling exodus . However, due to omicron we’re back pedalling.
Dubai was in our governments red corridor for a long time, despite Dubai having very few cases of covid and deaths. Our son had a spinal op recently, and, isn’t allowed to sit for long periods of time, or, fly. So, they can’t come over here. It was going to be our family reconciliation at long last. However, I can’t see it happening. France has now closed its borders to the U.K., as has other countries. Holland is in lock down due to omicron. We could get out to Dubai, and, not get back. Or, not get there at all. We’d love to see them, but, could do without the covid tests, and, all the hassle to get there. Life is never easy is it?
