Regarding the pandemic, isn't it sad that people can't do the sensible thing and then they have to be made to do it. We're allowed out now but not 100% free but if that's what it takes then let's do it. I don't have a problem with it. And I get what you mean about giving the money away.

I don't really like tomato ketchup either so clearly I had a disadvantaged childhood in some way!!<br />Funnily enough, my son in law and I were talking about the lottery tonight too. He was rushing off to put his money on after he picked up his daughter from us. I said that much money was obscene and would change anyone who won it, he said it wouldn't change him then proceeded to tell us how he'd buy a big new house and get people in to 'do' stuff for him and we all laughed and said, see, you've changed already!! xMarksgranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02870471905590321642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674486998769998428.post-8756388930430431122020-12-08T21:23:21.872+00:002020-12-08T21:23:21.872+00:00I'm with you on that Ms Moon.
