My Day numbers are completely wrong as I have missed a few days here and there but it probably is the number of days I have written an update. Maybe I should have called them Blog Numbers. Hey ho, does it really matter? So, what’s happening today? My son and daughter in law are still suffering from Covid, I hope Christian and Jessie are looking after them nicely. They have neighbours offering to shop etc. and our Christian is a top notch chef so I’m sure no one will go hungry. Get well soon you guys.
Around the world Trump has still not conceded to Joe Biden although his administration team has cleared the way for the transition process to begin. The President has tweeted that he has given the green light because ‘it was in the best interest of the country’. I don’t suppose the fact that he lost the election had anything to do with it.
And still on that side of the pond, the Surgeon General said that Americans should avoid large social gatherings over the holiday period as the pandemic is at a dire point. The Trump and his missus obviously know better and are already organising their festivities sending out invitations to politicians and Republican donors. People that have received them said it was like any other year with no mention of coronavirus precautions. The FLOTUS is finalising her guest lists for family, staff and friends and will host parties during multiple December evenings. She also stepped out of the white house to welcome the Christmas tree’s arrival. It was towed in on a truck being pulled by what looked like a couple of drays. Melania didn’t look happy, maybe understandably as she was overheard saying earlier this year ‘who gives a f%*! about Xmas’. Still, she walked around the truck completely alone, didn’t speak to the drivers but showing off a nice new coat. She stopped, smiled for the camera and went back in. I somehow found it quite sad.
Don’t read this spoiler if you’re going to watch GBBO tomorrow, I’m about to spoil it for you. We were all relieved that by some fluke Laura didn’t walk away with the prize. Fair to say there wasn’t any showstopper that really stopped the show and I thought that Dave was going to win. Not often right and wrong again, Peter became the youngest ever winner of Bake Off. He’s a sweet guy and very grown up for a 19 year old so well done that man.
The UK government has announced that three households can meet in a private home between 23 and 27 December and travel restrictions will be lifted. So, you party people, no New Year’s Eve bash. We’ll have to wait until 2nd December to see what tier we are in and what we are allowed to do in the run up. Upwards and onwards in spite of the party poopers, the vaccine will soon be here. Good night one and all. 😴💤😴
