Thanks, Rhian. Yes, I believe it’s good to have a diverse range of investments. In retrospect I wish I hadn’t invested £3000 in one single development project, but there you go. It was a painful lesson to learn!

Such a shame about the 3k you lost in the property one but you can’t win them all x

However, I do think that people who have already had their first jab should have the second one within 3-4 weeks as they were originally promised. Finally, thanks very much for the new year wishes. All the very best to you and yours as well. ]]> In reply to Caz / InvisiblyMe.

Thanks, Caz. Yes, losing £3000 at a stroke was pretty upsetting, but other people have lost five figure sums, so I guess it could be worse. I am trying to be philosophical about it and see what lessons I can learn. Watch for a dedicated post about this soon!

Coffee Talk is quite fun and not too taxing. Although I was mildly concerned when a vampire came in today and didn’t like the coffee I brewed for him 😯

Thanks, Nayna. It certainly has!

What a load of..! I’d be devastated to lose 3k. I’m glad that at least Kuflink has paid off well. That Coffee Time game looks interesting, more like a casual interactive thing that’s easy on the grey matter. I find some computer games way too taxing, sucking the fun out of them in my opinion!

As for the vaccines, I can’t believe the government is trying to lengthen the interval between the two jabs from 3 weeks to 3 months for both Pfizer & Astra. Absolutely diabolical. I know why they’re doing it, just to improve the stats and beat the EU by saying they’ve done more vaccinations, even though they’ll be rendered ineffective. It’s made me so unbelievably angry! Anyway, let’s hope sense is seen before it’s too late because we want a Covid free 2021 eventually!

Happy New Year to you & yours, Nick.
