Frosty! And treacherous. JR took Archie out first thing, just as well. In fact, it was treacherous all day, even the road. By mid morning I went out to empty rubbish in the bin across the road, but I came back in. Too dangerous!

We both did quite a bit of tidying up and sorting things out. JR packed away all the Christmas decorations, and I sorted out my drawers, a job that has been pending for quite some time. I listened to an ‘ABC Conversations’ podcast about cheating in sport. Sounds quite ho-hum, but it was really interesting. 

JR took Archie round to the Links in the afternoon, and it was lovely. He LOVES the snow.

The highest daily death toll: 1,325, with 68,053 new cases!

Now there’s a good idea: Everyone arriving in the UK from now on will need to have a recent negative Covid test, and to quarantine for 10 days, with spot checks and big fines for non compliance, to stop the new variant coming in. Only a few months too late...
