As I tuned into Dancing On Ice for the first time this year and see Ashley Banjo has shoe horned himself into the judging panel I can’t help asking myself… Has the world reached maximum Ashley Banjo yet? It may be time for an intervention from the UN. I like the guy but seriously it’s getting to the point where he’ll turn up to the opening of an envelope. The last time I checked he wasn’t known for his ice skating skills. What next? Graham Bell running a street dance troupe?

On the topic of being at the end of the first month I have hit a milestone. Managed to stick to my resolution of no smoking or drinking for the month. I bet the fag/alcohol companies are wringing their hands looking forward to February. Not from me though as I plan to stay off the booze until April at the earliest. I’ll probably stick with no smoking for longer though as its about time I focused more on health and less on what I really enjoy… Gawd damn it I do love a fag though!

One month into 2021 and still no end in sight. It does look like all the kerfuffle about vaccine import/export has dissipated after the EU realised they were acting like a two year old in temper tantrum mode. Of course there were the usual coordinated concilliary tweets about how everyone reached agreement (comically with exactly the same wording barr name changes). Life goes on and the rain keeps on falling.

The family zoom quiz last night was great. We had so much fun. There was a talent round. I managed to avoid singing by performing some magic tricks I picked up on the interweb. There was a lot of singing from the rest (sure they all have great singing voices) and a fabulous dance from Denise and Ed (albeit without the music being audible which cost them some points)… All round it was great fun.

I’ll head to the allotment this morning to see what needs doing. I’m expecting to get my seed propogater next week so I can start growing the plugs for planting out in early spring. Just call me Barbara from the good life.
