Looking forward to 2021

 Possible New Year Resolutions...

Eat more vegetables (eat a vegetable).

Travel more (perhaps even to the bottom of the garden).

Enjoy the occasional break (but no more bones).

Keep glasses safe (best to leave them in spectacle case by side of bed and never wear them).

Reduce time in bed (19 hours a day to 18).

Reduce time playing with phone (4 hours to 3.75 hours).

Live dangerously (go up and down stairs).

Begin Christmas shopping earlier (say February).

Write diary (and get beyond 10th January). 

Merry Christmas

 

No flying - even sleighs are grounded.

 Rumour has it that there is no air mail until more inroads have been made into Covid-19. My snail mail is going to be drastically reduced.
