Jupiter and Saturn will appear as one star in the south-west evening sky on 21st December. The mood will be a 11% crescent moon. Fingers crossed for a clear sky.

A Friday night quiz – next page

I cannot remember the last time I heard someone whistling! I can’t.

I have asked my family not to try killing me this xmas by staying away. But then I thought of a virtual Xmas dinner. Who would I invite? What would I cook? Etc.

Well – Place number one is taken.

Place 2 – I think Chris Packham would be interesting. I know I would not agree with everything he said so that would be good.

Place 3 – A comedian like Katherine Ryan – intelligent and provocative verbally.

Place 4 – Eleanor of Aquitaine – to have been queen of both France and England must have been cool.

Place 5 – Gary Lineker or Marcus Rashford – guys with opinions.

Place 6 – Lisa Casey as I like the Irish accent, and attitude, maybe I will stick with Siri.

Place 7 – I was thinking Stephen Fry – but maybe too clever? Alan Davies seems self-depreciating and funny.

I hope Eleanor of Aquitaine is not feeling isolated, maybe I need some more historical figures. Or maybe Kate Moss as she must have lots of stories to tell! Darwin is another suggestion, or Captain Cook?

The decision to leave was not based on facts but emotion – FACT! I also believe that people are unwilling to admit they were wrong – so we are stuck with it. Even if a trade deal is done this week there will be chaos. This is just another fact. Industries do not know yet what paperwork they will need as it has not been created yet, as we still do not know the nature of the deal/no deal. To get a deal done it almost certainly needs a border affecting Northern Ireland, either land or Irish Sea, either will have severe repercussions, which will affect us all.

I don’t really care much about cars, except when they go wrong! Mine is not basically going wrong, rather just weird! I went for a drive and on return parked and locked the car. 30 minutes later the alarm went off! And the key would not work. Eventually having spent ages trying to work out how to use the manual key, I shut it off by starting it and turning it off again! Just like a computer really. Anyway it was due its MOT so I took it to the garage and told Mr.Humphry – I think he thought I was more than a bit bonkers, but then it did it to him whilst parked outside waiting for its MOT. He thinks it may have something to do with the boot door – but really has not got a clue. It also would not allow me to put my phone number into wherever the phone number goes via settings. I will find out tomorrow.

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!

Saw Maz, Archie and Adam for first time since February. All good. Adam won 3-1 against Exeter and scored the third. Erin gave me a great painting.

I don’t think I ever had one before. Thanks Mart – and a surprise parcel was also a brilliant novelty. Smashing.
