Can I wish you and all your readers a Covid free and much happier New Year.

I am not on the internet or other device, nor do I want to be.I consider them the most dangerous inventions ever devised because they encourage idleness on an unbelievable scale.

The Covid lockdowns proved it - no need to go out to visit relations and friends, deliveries made to our home; the only walking one does it to the front door. Local shops are closing, the doctor - no need to visit, diagnosis is online.

Eventually we will be so lazy doing nothing through evolution we will lose our legs.
