A lovely couple who lives nearby (I'd put them at the 'good acquaintance' end of the friendship scale) always host a pre-Xmas 'open house' (except last year). It is packed!
All and sundry turn up, most bringing drink, but a few of us also in the habit of bringing some food - I usually make a batch of vege 'sausage rolls' and had said I would, as usual.
Although normally careful people, they are going ahead this year, trusting in vaccinations. They are not scientists!
We are unhappy about going. I am not asking opinions about whether we should go or they shouldn't go ahead.
I am asking whether I should still make and drop off the rolls! There is always plenty of food, but they will be expecting them. They will understand us not going, but I don't want to look mean!
I think our options are:
Simply say we are not going
Say we are not going, but still offer the rolls
Arrive on the dot, when no-one else will be there, drop off the rolls and leave
Opinions welcome!
