Christmas Lockdown?

The government is meeting soon to discuss whether we will join the Netherlands and impose a lockdown. Whether a "circuit breaker" will allow the virus to be defeated is unknown. Let's see what they decide.

Marlowe Theatre Panto 2021 - Jack and the Beanstalk

Cancelled last year so tickets rolled over to this year.  I didn't bother cancelling and getting a refund as I was hoping that this year that covid would have been defeated.  Of course it hasn't and we have a new panic with the Omicron Variant. This year it is "Jack and the Beanstalk" - the tale of an everyday thicko that becomes a hero. So we have to hope that after being vaccinated three times and back under the Government's Plan B that sitting in a room with air blowing through and wearing our coats and hats and of course, masks, that it will still go ahead. Thursday is my birthday as well. So I am hoping to have a good day out at the matinee and maybe some non Slimming World approved food!

Arsenal vs Sunderland - Carabao Cup

Arsenal vs Sunderland - Carabao Cup - Tuesday 21st December I have a £10 ticket to this game but given that so many games are being cancelled this weekend because of the rapid spread of Omicron variant of Covid, I have decided not to go. Okay, I'll lose my tenner but I'll save the exposure to covid that is getting worse in London by the day, plus I'll save the best part of £35 I would spend on trains, station parking and underground tickets. I don't like to cancel but it is for the best I think. I would rather be able to go with Claire to the panto in Canterbury on my birthday on Thursday 23rd instead. "Oh yes I would!"

Oldham Athletic vs Crawley Town - EFL League 2

Oldham Athletic vs Crawley Town - EFL League 2 My preferred crest!! The game has fallen foul of the Omicron spread and has been cancelled.  I emailed to say that I'd leave my ticket with them for the re-arranged date later in the season. I'll be retired by then and so driving, or if it is later in the season maybe riding the bike, over there won't be a problem! Keep the Faith!
