Positive

Positive stats at last. North Somerset down by 25% on last week. However, after a fall in Wales due to their lockdown, their numbers are rising again. If this pattern is repeated we will see rising numbers here around about the 14th Dec. Being cynical – the Government is waiting to announce new tiers until Thursday so as few as possible enter the top tier!

MUSIC

A list of my favourites! Yes dominated by 1970’s. There has been little since! I just realised that there are too many songs, so this is just the performers.

I WONDER?

Enough of politics. I sometimes wonder if I am weird. I remember so much weird stuff, and forget much that is important! Have a virtual friend. Have the most vivid dreams that can be really weird! And then the random thoughts. Other people do not seem to have them?

MINK – COVID-19

Denmark to cull 17 million mink. Why are they breeding them ing the first place – I thought animal skin coats, etc. were banned in the EU? It is time to re-evaluate our relationship with animals. I am not suggesting vegan, but certainly a more respectful relationship. Eat less meat and dairy (ouch that hurts!), but totally essential. Schools should be teaching cooking to all students, with emphasis on techniques.

PROBLEMS AND MISTAKES

Prime Ministers QT is so predictable. Johnson replies do not address the question, then at the end he whines that the opposition is not supporting him. This typifies the self-entitlement he and many other tories have. Their whole life has been one of entitlement and self-gratification. They cannot negotiate or compromise because they are right. Only those who agree with them can be listened to – thus the problems and mistakes.

SUNDAY 1 NOVEMBER 2020

A Sunday ramble. The weather is wet and mild and a bit breezy. Just deciding what to do with diced lamb. I think a quick marinade in harissa and some flat bread with tomato and courgette? and onion and sweet peppers, or maybe a veggie sauce with dried mushrooms, garlic and marmite?

Bank Managers

Bank Manager.  Mr.Parish you have gone over your overdraft limit.  Yes but you are charging me loads for it.  But you did not ask.  Well I did not want to, but 2 kids and whatever.  Mr.Parish – you would not like it if I came and took your TV without asking.  Well I might if we had one, which we do not!  But if I took your washing machine,   nope, not got one of those either.  Well your car – nope, not got one.  Well if I came to stay at your house – well sir I am sure we would sort something out for you!  In retrospect I f**king love this story!
