2021 – The Year Ahead

2021 – The Year Ahead
Covid will still be the big thing as in 2020 but with vaccines
Vaccine rollout will be slower than hoped for
Lockdowns will continue for far longer than expected
The Welsh Government elections in May will leave Wales even more fragmented
Wet led Pubs will take a battering
More Breweries will close
There will be more civil disobedience
New iPad Pros, Air Trackers and finally a new Apple TV
Windows Update process will still be poor
By Q3 all phones will be 5G capable
Apple will announce a M2 SOC
Podcasts will be even bigger, Amazon just bought Wondery
Stay-cations will be even bigger post Brexit and Covid
Cardiff City will still struggle
The move to my personal OneDrive

Garden – December 2020

Another three frosty nights, just like last month but really mostly rain. Not much in the way of growth although the lawn is still very green. May need to get some more Onion sets over the Christmas seed sales as a couple have failed to germinate. Black Friday Seed Sales are now a thing even if they haven’t been dispatched yet. Working on what Seed Potatoes for 2021. Maybe planting then in Pots and Bags again. Emphasis on Chips as you would expect. Merry Locked Down Christmas.

It Ended With The Blues

So the pubs close at 18:00 on Friday (mostly) without a vote and ignoring the science. Safer in the pub than in work.  Prebooked into Bubs with a sour tap takeover from Cascade Brewing (Oregon). So Costa, with points. The Central Bar with a Scottish Cask Ale. Poundland for cheap Christmas lights. The Head of Steam for a live Untappd Sherbet. Then Bubs, where Stevie Ray Vaughan was playing when I arrived.
Superb, safe afternoon with a little Classic Rock as well. Probably the last Emergency Beano of 2020. Rained.
