GARDEN

Things are winding down now – only 2 tomatoes ripe this morning, Bright orange chillies have been good with about 30. I have had 2 red peppers and might get another couple. I also have cranberries ripening – hopefully enough for Christmas dinner! Quite a lot of parsley if anyone wants – I could dry some I suppose.

VACCINATIONS

I just had a look at the percentages – Sandford area 90.3% single -86% double. Compare this with Bourneville 76.2/68.6; Bedminster 76.1/68.6; Bodmin 77.4/83.4; Lostwithiel 80/85.8; Barton Hill Bristol 58.2/46.6, Holborn 48.4/42.5.

BREXIT

It is time to say to those who claimed it would all be easy and plain sailing, £300 millionth a week for the NHS, etc. now is the time to expose the lies and hypocrisy.

LEVELLING UP

The term reappeared yesterday with Gove been given the job of overseeing it. Just how the tories think they will achieve it is down to smoke and mirrors. Of course the tories of the shires do not want the ruffians from the north getting on a level footing with them. The party is also practising austerity at the moment by cutting UC and the tax rises were mainly on the poor, and nowhere near enough to fund the NHS and Care.

WILLIAMSON OUT

In a way I am sorry because it was quite fun entertainment watching how useless he could be! Jenrick gone too with no tears here (he says he is proud of what he achieved – is he referring to his bank balance?).

COVID

Currently 1000 people a day are being admitted to hospital with Covid. Rates of 300+ per 100000 per week seem to be the norm in England. Plan A does not seem to working too well Johnson. Wearing face masks in Parliament is requested but ignored by all on the Government benches. Vaccine passport proposal has been dropped. Advice to work from home has also been dropped.

HURRICANE NICHOLAS

With speed up to 110kph and 25mm of rainfall this tropical storm is dying down and although he rainfall could cause problems should not cause a major problem. There are no more imminent tropical. storms at the moment.

CHILDREN VACCINATION

What a conundrum – no real benefit to the children themselves. Unless the children have health problems of live with those at risk I would totally understand why a child would feel very uncertain about having the jab, and their parents.
