Well I put the coat to a good test, as we had our first snow of the winter. It started just as we reached our lockdown escape place at Knole Park.

With all the walking we are doing, I decided to treat myself to a new coat. Its warmth rating is the highest it can be.
The big question is, what is main material that this coat is made from?
What is this coat made of? -

New clap for heroes was meant to start tonight, but no one else did it around us which was very sad. It was the only one done this time.

I found out today, that someone that I had played cricket with at New Ash Green passed away suddenly – Jon Harding. He was a lovely person, a very good batsman and wicket-keeper. RIP.

Today I had a surprised gift through the post from Mark Scholfield.
I think he knows me well, been friends over 30 years after meeting at Nat West Goodman Fields computer centre in Aldgate.
Does cricket mean that much to me?
Is this really me? -

Claire is a huge fan of Lewis Hamilton.
One of Claire’s Christmas gifts was a poster of Lewis Hamilton celebrating his 7th World title.
Today the frame arrived for it. Looks pretty good don’t you think?

Cricinfo didn’t want my checking service. Communication between us.
Hello Rajesh
Thank you for your last feedback.
I hope you had a good Christmas and New Year? I wish you all the best for 2021
I can see the mistakes in the first Test England and West Indies 2020, have been corrected apart from the West Indies second innings partnership mistakes.
Unfortunately, there were errors / mistakes in all three 2020 Boxing Day Test matches, again I offer my services to you.
Also I noticed during December, there was a scorecard update on the website, which means if players have the same name, there initials are not showing up in the bowling or catching part of the scorecard which they did before, so doesn’t make the scorecard helpful, like the Jayawardene’s and more recently the Curran’s
Look forward to your responds.
Regards
Michael
Hello Michael,
The couple of errors you’ve mentioned will be corrected. Re the checking service, I’ll let you know if we need the services. Thanks for the offer though.

Making sure that my pension portfolio will hold good for 2021.
Looking at your question of will there be more job losses after furlough ends in April?
Firstly, unemployment levels have been rising throughout the pandemic and as of November the unemployment rate stood at 4.8%, a rise of 0.7% over the previous quarter. This seems to suggest that struggling companies are being allowed to go to the wall even with the government support in place. To those that have not lost their jobs this is good news as zombie companies are not being kept alive artificially and the pain of mass unemployment when the support is pulled is reduced.
We also do not know when the furlough scheme will end as it has already been extended from its previous October deadline and will likely be extended again if the government has to put in place further movement and trading restrictions as we approach the next deadline of the end of April.
With vaccines being rolled out at unprecedented speeds it is hoped that we will be back to a more normal life by the end of the second quarter, assuming we follow the trajectory of countries such as China that were able to deal far more successfully with the virus than ourselves. This would imply that employment rates would in fact rise, which in turn, could lead to inflation (unlikely for a couple of years).
As we have all come to understand throughout this pandemic, our leaders are having to be flexible in their approach regularly moving the goal posts making forecasting an even greater difficulty. However, given the course they have sailed to date I believe it unlikely that a huge wave of job losses will be allowed over a short period of time.
It’s all about STIMULUS.
