Sorry to hear about your holiday but thanks for confirming the date :/
We were/are hoping to book a last minute trip to Puglia or Calabria for some sun before it goes on the 20th funnily enough. Less and less sure there's any chance of this happening.
We are meant to have the builders coming in this week to do work which was meant to happen much earlier in the year but got derailed by the first lockdown. I really hope it happens this week as I'm not sure it will if it doesn't.
In all seriousness there is a meeting happening next week (I don't know why it's taken so long to happen) about additional measures in London. If the outcome of that is a London-wide lockdown I'd expect it to come in from Monday 12th. John Biggs (Mayor of Tower Hamlets) is currently calling for people in TH not to visit other households as it's got so bad there.

You're welcome.
We're in North Hertfordshire so not worried about the impending lockdown and local case rates aren't rising that rapidly. There will have to be a countrywide lockdown at some point though. It just seems inevitable.
We were supposed to be spending all of October at my parent's place in France (leaving today...) but didn't want to have 14 days of quarantine when we returned because of the little one. It now seems likely we'll be locked down and not have the month in France anyway so...

It will 100% be announced on October 19th because I've booked a nice little cottage in Brixham on the 20th for 4 nights.
Of course Airbnb have a 'fuck you' policy when it comes to refunds so that's £800 pissed up the wall.
