Kids happy and healthy and doing spectacularly well at school, all this despite all the crap and complications their elders (and the world) have sent their way over the last 4 years or so. A student in China who carried out a frenzied attack on his teacher after his mobile phone was confiscated during class has shocked mainland social media. The student ignores him and clutches his phone tightly with both hands as the teacher tries to pull it from him. For Johnson the coincidence of Covid and Brexit has proved convenient in one sense, shielding him from blame and obscuring the picture. It’ll take a lot of work, probably six months of training to get back the significant ground I’ve lost in the latter part of this year, but I’m up for it.

I suppose everyone is healthy and as happy as everyone else is which is all I want really but for me 2021 can do one. This grand canyon sized oversight concerns me, and I, like, really ought to get round to doing something about it, but work this last year has been the highest volume ever. I have wondered about asking to move to 80% maybe in a couple of years, but as I currently work about 130-150% often 7 days a week I am not sure how that can work. c) [+adj/adverb ] used when emphasizing the degree or amount of something by saying what the result is so .Stories of children lashing out after their mobile phones have been confiscated are not uncommon in China.

Rarely has there ever been a year where I took it by the balls and got the most out of it that I could like this one. The hernia prevents me from anything DIY, but Mrs F continues to keep me in the style to which I have become accustomed, so I’m going to pay an electrician to do the stuff I can’t.

One of the benefits of that treatment is that I am somehow kicking a long-running anxiety in the arse, and I care a lot less about nearly everything. Not great, but better than 2020, am missing live music and my general socialising could be counted on one hand (almost), also work has been incredibly intensive, I wish I could retire.
