No going out, no physical contact, no idea when any degree of normality will return. Not this year I fear.<\/p>\n<p>On today&#8217;s No 10 Briefing, featuring the very evil, and the letter G incapable, Home Secretary, \u00a0Priti Patel, a reporter asked the question &#8211; as people must be desperate for a holiday after all we&#8217;ve been through, can they think about booking a summer holiday?<\/p>\n<p><strong>BOOK A F**KING SUMMER HOLIDAY!!!!<\/strong> Are you mad?<br \/>\nBe grateful to still be breathing.<br \/>\nIt will end when it ends, it will be safe when it is safe.<br \/>\nRemember that DISASTROUS &#8220;<strong>Eat Out To Help Out<\/strong>&#8221; cheap meal\/mass-killing scheme.<br \/>\nToo early Rishi!<\/p>\n<p>One good thing in the world is that that Orange Trump Stain has been removed! I watched the Biden\/Harris Inauguration yesterday, hated much of the schmaltz and flag adoration, but loved <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheAmandaGorman\">Amanda Gorman<\/a> and her wonderful poem &#8211; here&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BarackObama\/status\/1351995663475728386?s=20\">Barack Obama&#8217;s link to it<\/a><br \/>\nOne can only imagine the Big Orange Baby sulking in Florida.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously life is quiet here. Good news is my Mum has had both Vaccine injections, so let&#8217;s hope she is safe(r). I await my turn.<\/p>\n<p>Just before Christmas, I was lucky enough to have a small role in a TV ad, which is apparently airing so often that people keep telling me they saw me on the telly!<\/p>\n<p>Here it is&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"604\" height=\"340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fowG4WO-Vo0?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m happy to be working on an Audiobook narration at the moment, and <em>loving<\/em> the book.
