Oh, I didn't know the situation in Ireland was that bad. When it wasn't that bad here in Germany, there were reports about other countries as well, but at the moment it's more about the German situation. And now we also have this new variant. That was one of my worries that a new variant will come that is immune to the vaccinations. It doesn't seem that bad, but the whole situation is bad enough. I got my third vaccination the day before yesterday. I got my "booster" - Oh, how I hate that word! And the situation on my ward is getting worse and worse. So many surgeries have to be postponed, there is a shortage of staff and doctors are being moved to other wards. I don't understand how so many people still talk about conspiracies and only think of their "own freedom".
Regarding the 4. season of the Handsmaid Tales, you made me so curious. I have to see if or when it will be possible to watch the 4th episode on a different channel than Magenta.
Wow, an exciting new chapter. Now the trouble begins. Melanie's performance was really indescribable. And Justin: "We weren't expecting you" If it weren't so sad, one could laugh about this. And Brian is right, Melanie talks about Jenny as if she were a thing and not a human being. Oh my goodness, and how she treats Gus and Justin (I mean, I'm not wondering about the way she treats Brian)! And luckily Justin manages to stay calm and is also able to calm Brian down as well. And luckily Carl was there, not only because he is able to stay so calm, but also because he is a good witness for what happened there due to his previous professional position. I'm looking forward to the next chapter! Stay healthy and warmest regards!

I am sorry to hear that things on your ward are getting worse and worse :( I have an aunt who works as a nurse on a special Covid ward and the stories she shares are just horrible... I also have a cousin who works as a physiotherapist in a rehab clinic which has now been turned into an extra Covid ward with 75 beds to help the hospitals in our area deal with the higher number of patients. It's bad all around :(
As for Ireland: A lot of it is due to sharing a border with Northern Ireland. After the UK ditched all remaining restrictions and had their freedom day earlier this year, people just cross the border if they don't like the restrictions in the Republic and go to Northern Ireland to go to pubs, have parties and get drunk. In Ireland, our pubs are 2G, in the North they don't have any restrictions at all, so if you're not vaccinated, you just go North and get drunk there :/ That's why the border regions can be compared to the Eastern part of Germany: They have the lowest vaccination rates and have had the highest incidence rates for months. The situation in hospitals is quite dire there. Not that the situation in Dublin is great, but seeing how it's the only real big city in Ireland, we're doing surprisingly well and are not even in the top ten list of counties with the highest incidence rates.
I am just hoping that I will still be able to fly back to Germany as planned on the 18th. This reminds me so much of last year - all that uncertainty surrounding my Christmas plans, last minute travel changes (I changed my flight from a flight to Amsterdam, to a flight to Hamburg yesterday, just to avoid crossing borders to another country). It's just the same shit again and again - very depressing :(
Ireland has already introduced travel restrictions, so I will now need a negative test to travel back to Dublin after Christmas *happy days*
I am sure that the fourth season of Handmaid's Tale will be on Amazon Prime sooner or later, the other seasons made it there, too...
Melanie truly was on form... Now we'll have to deal with the aftermath of that visit :( I just want to give everyone a hug, really *lol*
Thanks as always for your comment. More will be up tomorrow :)

Such a cold bitch Melanie is. I wonder, if she loses it all, will her work be enough? I believe ev3n.if JR goes back ahe will.leave at 18. I've always seen Melanie as beaten down by Lindsey. But this Melanie is cold and unfeeling. Not an ounce of loving feelings left. Very well done.
