An Apology from the Editor This should have been the December 2020 issue of T.U.G. Unfortunately at the end of November my wife became ill and was admitted to hospital. When she was no longer at crisis level she was discharged, but without any real understanding of what was wrong. She remained poorly and there were many hospital visits for further investigations. She is still not completely well, although much improved, and I have not felt able to abandon her for long periods whilst I slaved over T.U.G. (it is surprisingly time-consuming) until now.. This means that Jill and John Tullett’s pieces are old, and circumstances have shown that the cautious optimism in them was misplaced. Things went from bad to worse, although the January lockdown and the successful rollout of vaccination do seem to be helping the dismal hospitalisation and mortality figures. We have to hope that EAMG will be able to resume at least training in the Spring..
T.U.G has been a bit weird since April 2020. No meetings, events, pictures, and precious little in the way of copy from members. It has had to become a rehash of stuff published earlier and of course, since there are no Group Nights for distribution of printed copies, it has also become online only. It may well have to continue like this for a couple more issues. There may be light at the end of the tunnel but it is still hard to guess how far away that end is.
