    Talking of shoes. Have you noticed how potuswives or whatever they're called and the vicepresidentess - in- waiting walk about on stilts. What's that all about? 
    It seems to me a distant relation of foot binding. 
    Burnyerbra was a freedom for many women -apart from those in  need of a bit of support but no woman needs stilettos.  Ditch your Stepford stilletos. True equality is comfortable,cornless, bunionless feet!
    If your feet didn't hurt, you might go beyond equality!

    Seriously. Next time , look at the shoes and form your own opinion.

    In London. Keen but lazy.

    The companies developing vaccines are taking a huge financial risk by running various parts of the development and trialling in tandem as well as producing the vaccine in the hope it will work.
    In normal times they would be much more cautious due to these massive costs, and they should be applauded for what they are doing.

    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Various surveys in UK, USA and France over the past few months have shown that between 5 and 40% of the population would refuse a Covid vaccine. The refusal is significantly stoked by outrageous, unsubstantiated theories promoted online. A common one, for example, is the belief that a vaccine will be a way of injecting microchips in our bodies so our minds will be controlled by that evil despot Bill Gates.
    What I love about this theory is that it's generally spread by Facebook which does more to track people and harvest their data while feeding them mind control than Bill Gates ever has.

    No chance of me ever reaching the heights of celebrity or whatever by linking myself to a successful man, my feet won’t even fit into smart wellies let alone those designer shoes .... the heights I’ve reached I’ve scaled on my own merit (despite my feet) and I may not be FLOTUS or a potential POTUS but I am Dove and I’m happy ... reckon that’s pretty successful 😎 🤣

    When I was a youngster I had a friend who wore high-heeled fluffy mules in the house. I've never been able to cope with uncomfy footwear and I gave up trying at a fairly young age (there's one brand with a bit of height that I can wear, and they have chunky bouncy heels/soles, not stillettos, so they feel like walking on cushions).

    Really helpful program about the covid vaccines on Radio 4 at the moment.

    Do all smokeless fuels stink?
    My next door neighbours are polluting the air so that they can watch telly in front of a cosy fire.
    I can't crack open my window until they've gone to bed.
    Is there anything that I could politely suggest that they might use - apart from a bucket of water😡

    Politely suggest they use the services of a chimney sweep.  And regardless of whether it's an open fire or a closed stove, they should have a carbon monoxide detector.
