Good Evening Chewsday

I told my girl friend that I had a crush on beyonce!
And she said to me "Whatever floats your boat"
^And I said "No that's Buoyancy^"

Thank you all for your concerns about Freda. She’s feeling better now, fully charged, but resting up in the garage. We might get out tomorrow as I definitely need a haircut now that they are back in business. I'm thinking of using the clippings in lockets as mementoes of 2020; Christmas presents with a difference!

Marydoll As a retired headteacher you can still set tough homework.! I had a quick skim through it, but I hope to hand it in by Friday, or maybe next Monday!
Right now we are studying QR Codes on smart phones at Zoom classes. The way things are going it will soon become necessary to know how to scan them in order to enter anywhere such as work, shops, medical premises etc. No news yet as to whether the Govt will be handing out free phones. It’s all part of “track and trace”! Of course, elderlies will be left behind in this modern era!

Stephen I know it must be tough living in (very) North Cumbria, but you don’t have to denigrate the Lovely Lake District. Isn’t that where William W. wandered lonely as a cloud amongst the daffodils and I believe our Manchester water came from there; very soft, which because of that,produced lots of tooth decay prior to fluoride!
You won’t mind me saying that you are the best “edit button” It’s called “proof reading”.
So many seem to rely on, and blame, dodgy spell/grammar checkers, auto correctors etc. Of course if you’re a Celtic Cumbrian that might explain it!
Btw; Our recent curfew, now ending, wasn’t too bad; like “house arrest”, but without armed guards at the front door!

Jane The Oldie mag just arrived looks like a good read again; certainly value for money. You won’t believe, but ever since your encounter with that “Room with a View” at St. Andrews I still can’t get Artie Shaw’s version out of my (tiny) brain, possibly because there’s a downloaded CD of it in my PC as I type and also in the kitchen DVD player, but maybe I’m not trying!
Why can’t your “Scottsh Govt.” sanction Tier 5 - “Stay in bed!”? Only allowed to get out for essential servicing! Not a bad idea at this time of year; dark mornings, dark evenings and all that goes with them!

Megs If and when I’ve read and understood Marydolls homework I think some “On-Line” classes would be in order. Not easy without Zoom and especially as we’ve been brought up on “Levels” down here, but we’re pretty adaptable!
Incidentally, good job you mentioned your NZ rellies and I wish them well, but our Barry Humphries, that world famous Aussie comedian has a funny joke about Kiwis which I was going to recount but not now, otherwise I might “gettit” in the neck!

Freda can’t go to the pub, under the legal age and she hasn’t been programmed with
GPS yet, so can’t be relied on to get me home, in a straight line anyway!
Must be off to pay respects to GreatNan’s memory.

Good Health
