Time for some optimism for next year.

Firstly, when I got home from work I found that the postie had delivered my 2021 MSV season ticket so looking forward to plenty of visits to Brands Hatch, Snetterton & Donington Park.
Secondly, Cambridge Corn Exchange are trialing 'mini concerts' - socially distanced seating only events and I've been able to get tickets for This is the Kit in January and Jesca Hoop in February (if I can get the evening off work).

So, play nice everybody, keep your distance, wash your hands and have the jabs if offfered so that I can have a few days out. Thank you.

I've narrowed my diagnosis down to two afflictions: December doldrums or Crimbo limbo. Could be both.

My money is in the deadly December Doldrums.

Decent night's stickering in Tesco even if some of the pickings were a bit slim in places.

Nowt from the bakery and only one pack of ham and two slices of gala pie from the chilled stuff. But had potatoes, mushrooms, tomatoes, coleslaw, blueberries and blackberries from the fruit & veg, plus lamb shanks, rump steak, stewing beef, hake and a mahoosive pack of salmon off the counters.

Not complaining.

Hopeful for a negative?
Meaning it's a "routine" test, possibly required for work.

Stickering = hunting down final reductions in the supermarket.

Stuff that gets reduced has yellow stickers applied to it, hence the term. Or to shorten it, YS.

Plum stickered out, I suppose.

A guy I cycle with tested positive yesterday. I have no symptoms but sensible to get tested as both my parents are vulnerable so don’t want to take risk.

I've been taking swab tests as part of an ONS survey, weekly at first and now monthly. A guy comes round, gives me the swab, I do the test and give it back to him, and a few days later I get sent a £25 e-voucher. I still gag when the swab gets to the back of my throat.

But I also have a very vulnerable parent and have to be ultra-cautious.

You haven't accidentally clicked on 'ignore thread', have you? I did that once and wondered where the alerts, and thread, had gone.

I don't think so ! But the way it dances around at times just when your finger is just about to touch the screen who knows ?
