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.

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.

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?

50 years too late, but done at last, it is now illegal to hit/abuse children in Scotland. Will England ever follow suit?

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.

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.

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?
