As it stands no gatherings permitted. No Gyms or Martial Arts Gyms open. No restaurant indoor dining. Outdoor either since we are in full blown winter.
Hopefully today they start to ease some of these restrictions. Remains to be seen.

Just had the first class back after a wife imposed shut down. COVID numbers spiked and she was given rights to the internal medicine ward. She is a surgeon so we are a bit more careful than others to keep her practice from being shutdown.
I was out for a month, but it was good to get on the mats.

My coach handed out stripes this morning and did not promote me to blue belt. The destroying angel has passed over me for now.
There's going to be a small seminar in March (knowing him, it will get pushed back to April :-D). That's the next date I'll have to worry about.

Just keep showing up and training. Remember its a marathon. You will get there.

Whats you status for shut downs?
our local numbers spiked up to 4000+ infections 2 weeks ago, last week was around 3000+ and they're trying to reduce the infectivity rate to match neighbouring countries who are in the low teens or 20's to allow for cross border commerce.
Personally though I had to close down my academy permanently last year June since contact sports is still prohibited until now.
There was a brief spell where limited numbers was allowed for BJJ but they held an election which was a mass spreader event and today is the result of that exercise so everything got shut down again. 18th is when they will review or lift the lock down but in the recent past they have only extended it by 2 weeks at a time.
We don't get the vaccines until end of this month for front liners and high risk. I prob won't get my shots until year end

Could've gone grappling today, but the commute is 40 minutes one direction and the training time would've been only 45, so not worth the effort. Instead wifey dragged me with her to go shopping for winter gear. I did find a pair of winter boots for less than 30 euros, so I guess it wasn't all for nothing.
No other time to roll this week. Unless somebody is willing to come over and roll on crappy thin puzzle mats on my living room floor.
At least the dog is happy that I'm spending even more time with him now.

I'm expecting at least another month or two before England lifts the current lockdown, maybe longer. I have stopped going anywhere near my weighing scales, dangerous. ;)

Im fuming today, I tossed my gi in the wash early this morning. We have a shared laundry room with 4 washers and dryers and none of them were in use at the time. I set an alarm on my phone for about 30 minutes. I go in after the alarm and someone has filled every washer up and put my gi in the dryer on high heat. It had only been in for about 10 minutes but it feels like it has shrunk some. I mean I've had people leave clothes in the washer for a full day and not messed with it. Shew, rant over.

Still total lockdown here. Again homeschooling my 3 kids like the last 3 weeks.... man, i love them but every day homeschooling sucks.
Fortunately they had a great time outdoor the last days as we have lots of snow (for our region here in north Rhine Westphalia at least) at the moment. So the kids had fun racing downhills with the sled and my wife an I had a relaxing winter wonderland walk today.
