Nothing much to say (Day 234 since our first Lockdown and Day 7 of Lockdown 2)

[kathyh]

First of all it is 11th November and it is particularly poignant this year, not just because of Lockdown, but because I've been sorting through the documents relating to my dad's older brother who was killed in World War II. He died in 1943 aged 21, which is younger than my nephew is now. My dad very rarely mentioned him, and was 5 years younger so

I'm hoping that Trump won't cause too much trouble but there is speculation that he's going to sell secrets to the highest bidder once he's not President any more. They better change the codes immediately as soon as they get him out of there.

Would I take a million dollars to leave the US and never come back? Hell yes. I think things are going to get a lot worse in a few years since we've a huge white supremacist problem.

Anyway, the weather has just now taken a turn for rain but it's been lovely the last few days. I'm still recovering from my fall into the river (the bruise is huge and dark purple) and I'm limping a bit but it's getting better.

Ouch for the bruises. Glad you are feeling better.

At the moment I would put absolutely nothing past Trump. Selling state secrets would seem an almost normal act for someone like him with no shame. Each time you think he can't sink any lower, he does!

45 is being such a pathetic man-baby. I don't care about him not conceding so much (it's not needed) but that the other Repubs are humoring him is disgusting.

Definitely would take a million to leave the US. Would take even less.

We just watched Uncut Gems as part of an Adam Sandler fest and I didn't hate it as much as you, but it wasn't as great as a lot of people said and I do think unpleasant is a good way to describe it. Would definitely choose mind over body.

My problem with Uncut Gems was that I could find nothing likeable in any of the characters.

I can't work out why people are humouring Trump unless they think he has something on them. It all seems completely bizarre.

There’s lots you can still do if you’ve got your mind isn’t there!

I usually get my Christmas puddings at the Islington Christmas fair so I’ll have to see if I can find the ones we like online. I’m sure they will be somewhere!

[kathyh]

I'm sure they will. A lot of the places that John's been ordering food from, on the advice of our neighbours, are usually based in Borough Market and they have all moved online or were online already. He was reading out Christmas pudding reviews to me so I can guarantee there are a lot available out there :)

I actually make a rather good Christmas pudding myself but obviously I'm not doing so this year as we seem to be in danger of building a Christmas pudding mountain!
