I discovered a new favourite chocolate Neuhaus Irresistibles, seriously delicious, chocolate triangles, with a crunchy layer under the chocolate, then a soft centre, they are amazing, and I rationed them as they are so rich, no lockdown belly here though as I am still keeping up the workouts, getting up nice and early, which is more pleasant now that its light in the mornings.

I watched a video online today about the people who were denied furlough by their employer during the pandemic which is of course ongoing, I don’t think most people realize how many gaps in the support schemes there have been. It really is like the government have supported just enough people to keep the majority happy and don’t care about the lives left in tatters, if you have had the benefit of furlough, consider what your financial circumstances as well as mental health would be now if you had not have got it. I like to mention this every so often in my blog, as so many people are totally clueless to the massive collateral damage currently going on and getting worse by the month.

At least the spring is on the way, brighter mornings, and hopefully a decent summer weather wise, that always cheers me up. I am still around for webcam and phone chat, phone being the most popular option, feel free to call me for details.

I have not blogged much this month, I am still here and healthy and well as always.

I hope everyone has a great Christmas, I will be watching Netflix and staying in the warm as it looks cold. I always dreamed as a kid of having more than 4 TV channels, now you have hundreds, and shows on demand, I can honestly say I have not watched the likes of ITV or BBC in years due to this. Then there is Youtube, some classic shows from the 50s/60s/and 70s are on there that don’t get shown on TV anymore. You really can find just about everything.

Sadly still around 3 million are excluded from help since the pandemic began, a figure similar to the population of Wales, decent hardworking taxpayers left with nothing, some having to sell their cars/possessions and even their homes, and are getting into terrible debt. Sadly some industries are a way off coming back, and it can be hard to get another job in this current climate, especially if you age is against you. If you have had the wonderful safety net of the furlough/self employed scheme, or family helping out, spare a thought as to how you would have coped if you had not received that, with no income or a greatly reduced income since March, and if you did get a job in the meantime, it was on a fraction of what you once earned. Then there are businesses in hospitality that keep having to open and close at a moments notice, with little financial help, the list goes on and on.

On a positive note, I am sure next year, after we have got through the worst of the winter Covid and Flu season and more people are vaccinated there will be an end to all this, and better times ahead, I cant wait to be on the beachfront in Spain enjoying an ice cream and hot weather, I am already planning a celebration for when life is back to normal, and trying to focus on that.

As well as in person sessions, I am also around for webcam/phone chat, with easy ways to pay (I do not take Paypal). I’m free between 10am-3.30pm for webcam, and 10am-10pm for phone chat.

I am really looking forward to the end of this year, our Annus horribilis

I am still based in Tier 2, as I am in Hampshire.

Please call me for December/January availability and session info.

I am around as normal all this month, apart from the 19th/25th and 26th when I wont be working. So feel free to call to arrange an appointment.

Just a reminder that any advance bookings have to be with a 50% deposit, on the day bookings do not require one.
I am doing 1-2 session per day, please only arrange if you can definitely make it, and can be on time, the roads over the last month have been back to as busy normal.

Apologies for last nights post, I made it look like I was only working for 2 days the entire month, what I meant is on those 2 days I had limited availability due to other things going on. December 6th, I am free from 9-11, then free again after 4, and on the 8th, I am free from 9-10, then free again after 4, hopefully that clears things up.

Thanks

It is my birthday today, I don’t tell many people, but some amazingly remembered, I got a few nice cards (thanks Jamie & Betty), also a lovely note from Betty, which I really appreciate, and some lovely chocolates from Paul A Young, which I will enjoy over the next week. Also a lovely package from Germany with some of my favorites with a lovely book.

I am now going to get something to eat from a local restaurant, watch tv, and relax for the evening.

Instead of me writing a long blog post on it, see this video here https://twitter.com/tfa4freedom/status/1324012149346369543 It is a fantastic speech in Parliament by Hew Merriman. Another here by Professor Karol Sikora https://twitter.com/Unlocked_UK_/status/1323956035019776000

Then I regularly look here at Professor Carl Heneghan at Oxford https://twitter.com/carlheneghan
I feel like knocking my head against a brick wall right now, am I really living in an episode of Black Mirror or the Twilight Zone, it would be nice to wake up and find out it was all a crazy dream.

Also a great article by Dr Mike Yeadon https://lockdownsceptics.org/2020/11/04/latest-news-183/#a-plea-to-mps-from-mike-yeadon-dont-vote-for-lockdown

Still no help for the 3 million excluded from any form of government magic money tree cash sadly.

A great week so far, and don’t forget I do online sessions via phone or webcam using software called ICQ (which works like skype) easy payment methods available.
