Jupiter-Saturn conjunction being talked about, but it's very low down, and on my worst horizon (SW).
(4.55pm). Just seen it - Saturn about 15' from Jupiter, at about half-past ten from it. New Moon away to the S.

New rules were announced re coronavirus at 5pm that make it seem irresponsible to go to my parents' as planned. It'll be the first Christmas I spend by myself. Two pluses though, firstly it'll be good practice for when I'm very old, secondly I'll be able to drink all the Montrachet myself. 'Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents'.
