I apologise for my absence and, of course, it was not SoD's fault at all, In fact, he has been an absolute diamond in making all the arrangements, legal and religious for the funeral of the late 'Auntie Babs'. He's a cracking good lad and I am exceedingly grateful.
Of course, what with all that plus this bloody 'Covid-thingie' I confess I am not particularly up to date with all those "Events, dear boy, events!" The only thing that is manifestly clear is that next year is going to be sheer, unmitigated hell! Mind you, we need to remind ourselves that we have been through sundry hells, many a time and oft', and we always stagger out of it eventually - just in time for the next one!
Over this coming weekend I promise to try and catch up with politics, local and international, and offer you my opinion - "a poor thing, Sir, but mine own!" Mind you, I am being dragged out tomorrow at the crack of dawn to assist the 'Memsahib' in her final Xmas shop. Such fun!
"dragged out tomorrow at the crack of dawn to assist the 'Memsahib' in her final Xmas shopping".
Me Too! Plus lunch!

Thank God you're ok, was getting worried (again).

Getting a lot of information re the Brexit situation down here. "Out" would be a good Christmas present and worth a special lunch at the Tippling Philosopher.

This holiday season is the time to give thanks for Amazon delivery and department store curbside pickup.

Hang in there Duff. Better days ahead!
Merry Christmas to you and the memsahib.

Bob, The delivery services have increased by a multitude and the drivers are very pleasant considering they have a heavy workload. The postal boys and girls are still running around wearing their now traditional cargo shorts giving an excellent service. How lucky we are to have the Internet in our time. This virus would have run amuck in older times!

Glesga,
They're all doing good work here too, all things considered. A lot of delivery people apparently drive their own vehicles as temp workers. It's too cold in my part of the world for shorts.
SoD, sorry about the italics - could have sworn I closed them.
