Good morning to you all on this grey Thanksgiving Day here in Crete. Normally we are blessed with great weather right up until Christmas, but this year is definitely not one to remember, for many obvious reasons on top of the bad weather.
Wherever you are in the world, I hope you're staying safe, staying sane and keeping yourself busy. For antone struggling with lockdown, not being able to see families or just generally feeling a bit down...THINGS WILL GET BETTER. One day we will all look back on these strange times, perhaps not with nostalgia, but warm in the knowledge that we lived through and participated in a historic event that will be taught to future generations.
Stay strong everyone...here's the quiz.
