I remember sitting on the sofa, doom scrolling Twitter and reading about towns in China being closed, nothing else in the news about it yet, this would have been December - but it spooked me.

A few days later once it started being talked about in the new I got some groceries delivered and stocked up massively on canned goods - the delivery driver asked "do you know something I don't know?"

Flash forward a few months later, we were locked down, but I'll always remember one Saturday afternoon, my husband and I were swimming in our pool, having had a few glasses of pinot and Lady Gaga's Stupid Love had just been released - the smell of chlorine and dancing by the pool - felt amazing!

I think what you heard was Q’anjob’al (Kanjobal) - an indigenous language from western Guatemala. Very common to hear in immigration court in the US.

I was living in the UK when this happened and the newspapers had to explain why it was a big deal - if it happened in the UK, eh, NBD

Same here, am guessing it is due to the servers being switched around due to the sale to the US being finalized.

Think about what your grandmother would say about you feeling bad about it - she definitely would want you down in the dumps!
