It's not a necessity, Teddy.

First day of lockdown, and the weather was terrible. J made a chicken & ham pie, while I did various cleaning jobs. My brother, who lives in North Wales phoned, and we had a good moan about the new restrictions. We put the world to rights, and I felt much better afterwards. Teddy had a bit of a temper tantrum, as he wanted to go for a drive.  I had to explain to him we were in yet another lockdown, and he wasn't allowed to go out & buy himself some new clothes.  Oh well, only sixteen more day's to go, but if the weather is as bad as it has been today, it's going to feel much longer.
