We spoke to James, they have been told they will be moved from tier 4 to tier 3 but this means they will still not be able to travel outside the Christmas window so will definitely not be coming down. They have 5 tiers in Scotland, 0 to 4. We have 1 to 3. Finished off painting the utility room on Wednesday. Had a goolie chat in the evening. Greg has recorded a cool version of Walk On By, Rick has submitted his screen play, Ian was a bit knackered after a long walk, John seemed a bit worse for wear. Went for a swim on Thursday morning, forgot to take a mask but M had a spare. Put various hooks up in the utility room. Ironing board hanging behind the door, pizza paddles and most importantly some ornate cake tins. Had to go to BnQ first to buy some screws. They used to have a really good system where you could select loose screws and put them in a plastic bag and they just charged by the size of the bag. They're not there now so I assume its A covid thing. Had a gigs n ale zoom in the evening. I finished off my Berkshire beer box and noticed this on a can of Phantom Brewery Golden Ticket.

So I peeled it off. I then noticed you could also peel the label off my can of Black Cat. Thus immediately made me think of a new hobby. I then noticed there was another label under the Golden Ticket one. Bizarre. On Friday I cleaned the floor in the utility room. Then went on a boot cleaning walk to Evans for some inner tubes and Sainsbury's for some wine. Quite busy in town, queue outside John Lewis. On Saturday we put lights in the garden and rearranged the patio with chairs round the fire pit so we can have people round. On Sunday Brendan, Lynda and Kelvin came round for drinks and nibbles in the garden. The weather was a bit iffy but quite mild with just a fine drizzle to start with. However it then started to rain quite heavily. We stuck it out for a while but then had to abandon a bit earlier then planned.
