 Today a 99 year old man in Portsmouth recieved the first vaccine against Covid, I hope to God it works.  It tuns out that Sweden is worse then the UK, apparently schools have been shut until January; they never did a lockdown and now it's got worse!

Bitterly cold out today, I didn't stay out very long, only to get a saenie and dinner from M and S.  I will bring up a turky tommorrow, I was going to get the crown only but now i may get a small bird seeing as there's only three of us this year.  Apparently there's an outbreak amongst turkeys up north from Avian flue, one type of flue is bad enough!  

Lifestyles has closed for good, I'm really sad about that.  Thanks to the damned Chinise virus, there's now no social group for people with mental health or learning difficulties.  Been going for years, now it's all gone.  I used to love going to places like Swanage to see the fireworks, I will still do it but a bit differently now.

I first met Lifestyles in Stoners cafe while i was still helping with the horse drawn bus that used to go round Salisbury.  It was after my friend dawn's death, they were sat at the table with a lady called Elizabeth Piner.  dawn had been killed in a car accident while coming back from Downton village, I met her husband ian Low who had been in the car with her that day.

I've had many experiences with Lifestyles including visits to the isle of Weigt and Cornwall, we used to have Disco's and many parties; now they have all gone into the past.  Steve who rang me up said that he and Jo were made redundant, so that's that then.

Poundland have annoying tills with a santa voice on it, everytime people buy something (including weedkiller or floor cleaner) Santa joyfully proclaims, "Ho ho ho, make sure you get those wrapped nicely for Christmas!" every time." Who wants weed killer under the tree for Christmas?  Unless sinister intentions are meant.  I'd say bah humbug!
