The admirable fairy thief...

"Oi, gerrof!" Came the tiny cry from the apex of the tree. "Show some respect, I'm older than you..." A portrait of someone... let's face it, who is the only person I've even seen all day. She is of course an utterly lovely and admirable pet called Janet. Albeit a lightfingered one.

It's not just fairies. I enjoyed a second Portuguese custard tart from the box supplied by SmileyCharlie. Maybe I'd like just one more, but no. She's eaten the lot. And I didn't see anything of the previous consignment. Chiz and double chiz.

Trying not to watch the news. 

It does seem a little mad to be talking on the one hand of increasing the number of areas in the top tiers, and at the same time talking about letting everyone has a "few days of normality", as if we need help driving ourselves back to the pubs for another glass of covid...
