    Saw our first Greenfinches in many, many years, on the feeder this morning.  I know they've been decimated by disease (ironically often caught from feeding stations).  It's sunny here today, so the flash of green was unmistakable, not to mention their size compared to the other birds.

    News of the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine approval is definitely RTBC.  Plus the news that they will give a single injection of either in the first instance to provide much wider protection from severe illness.  That really is a massive game changer.

    Here's something to bring a smile to your face.

    1. The most useless thing I ever bought was a 2020 planner.
    2. 2019: Stay away from negative people. 2020: Stay away from positive people.
    3. The world has turned upside down. Older generation are sneaking out of the house & their kids are yelling at them to stay indoors.
    4. This morning I saw a neighbour talking to her cat. It was obvious she thought her cat understood her. I came to my house and told the dog ..... we had a good laugh.
    5. Every few days try your jeans on just to make sure they fit. Pyjamas will have you believe all is well in the kingdom.
    6. Does anyone know if we can take showers yet or should we just keep washing our hands?
    7. I never thought the comment "I wouldn't touch him/her with a 6-foot pole" would become a global policy, but here we are!
    8. I need to practice social distancing from the fridge.
    9. I hope the weather is good tomorrow for my trip to the garden. I'm getting tired of the living room.
    10. Never in a million years could I have imagined I would go into a bank with a mask on and ask for money.

    I'm rich!  I've had an email telling me the United Nations has awarded me $5.5 million.  The email actually says it's not a scam so it must be true. :D

    Georgia has just elected its first black Senator.  And he's a Democrat...   :)
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    @Liriodendronwe just need the other dem to be voted in and the US will be a much more stable country. 
  • According to the report on R4 it's looking promising for the 2nd seat.
