Driving. I live in a beautiful part of the country – roads by their very nature spoil the beauty and tranquility – but are necessary. But why do we make it worse with street graffiti? Once you look at what I am saying I am sure you will agree (contains swearing!)

FOOTBALL – 4 October 2020
Round 4 – Definitely a season at sixes and sevens! But first the easy bits! Everton continue unbeaten start with Calvert-Lewin on fire. Fulham, Burnley and WBA look to be struggling, as do SheffieldU, which I find surprising.
The shocks – ManU 6-1 loss at home (will this result in major signings before midnight?). And then Liverpool 7-2 at Villa, and even with their missing players a major shock. Chelsea 4-0 vs Palace shows their potential. And Leicester 0-3 to WHU must also be seen as a shock.

Bristol City remain top with Reading and Bournemouth and Swansea not far behind. I would expect Watford to join them. Sunderland – who knows? Gas heads off bottom with a win. Forest Green look set for mid-table.

Covid-19 27 September 2020
There is no getting away from the news. Firstly, cases in North Somerset have doubled in the last week to 55 or 26 per 100000. And then there are the students ….
