Three spice jars for presents
LEVELLING UP AND THE NORTH
The fact that thousands are still without electricity 9 days after a storm is a snapshot of its importance to the Government. It quite likes the new ‘red wall’ blue seats – but not enough to really care. Axing investment in Northern railways is a symptom. A truly concerned government would be investing in the northern infrastructure.
COVID
Where. are we now? It is almost certain that other variants will develop in poorer countries where vaccines are not available. In which the Pfizer vaccine costs the UK government £22 per shot whilst the manufacturing cost is estimated at 79p! Pfizer profits b$36 billion. That is a lot of pay back for the R&D!
WEMBLEY AND CASEY REVIEW
WATER COMPANIES
COMPUTERS
I know they are wonderful but also so f****** frustrating. Firstly I try to contact the council about a broken food waste bin. I must have registered some time in the past because it tells me my email is known. So it asks for a password I wrote probably 8 years ago – send reminder. Cool. Get new email and punch in the new password they have sent me – not recognised. I try a few times and get told I have been timed out.
RICOTTA CAKE
This has my taste buds bubbling. Does Sandford Stores sell ricotta cheese though? Definitely need to go on an expedition to get some. Recipe
SEALS
Numbers of seals born in the Frame Islands this year are predicted to be higher than previous recent years. I know there are no predators (although I believe a wandering orca may have been seen in the past). Can I be positive here and assume that despite a morality rate of 50%, there must be plenty of food available? And if so presumably some of our sea birds will also have done well this summer. We need good news after yesterdays news about the number of formerly common birds being moved to the red list, swifts, greenfinches, house martins and Berwick swans.
IGNORANCE
There are at least 11189 gullible or bigoted people living in Old Bexley and Sidcup. What is it that this government has actually done that encouraged them to get off their backsides and vote for corruption and lies. Another couple of thousand voted for believing the Brexit lies and drowning people in the Channel.
FOOTBALL BLAGGING
The latest table shows the field bunching up. Harvey and Lola are catching up. With 16 points available for the winner each week the table can change rapidly.
