Thought I would use Ian Dury and the Blockheads for today’s title because my goodness we need it! The news has been so depressing, the incompetence and indecision of our government just adds to the depression. So some random positive thoughts!

• Oxford Astra Zeneca -brilliant collaboration to get to this point
• NHS brilliant but we must look after it!
• Jacinda Ardern a politician who is honest, compassionate and competent a real beacon of hope!
• David Attenborough a truly great man and a national treasure

I could of added more things but they are the first things that came into my head.

Anyway it looks like more quizzes on the Blog today’s is all about January.

a) Which world city’s name means “Rivers of January?”   b) On the 17th January Robert Falcon Scott reached the South Pole in what year?   c) From Roman mythology January is named after what god?   d) Which date on January  is the traditional date for the Feast of Epiphany?  e) What is January’s birthstone (hint – the name comes from the 14th century  English word meaning “dark red”)
