Will you be tuning in for the Strictly final tomorrow night or watching it on catch up?I have watched all the Strictly programmes over the years and this year has been my favourite. I love watching Rose and Giovani dancing together and my vote will be going to them tomorrow night.ViewDate:

Would you treat your pooch to a Friday night tipple?Much as I love my dog I don't think a Friday night tipple is likely to be on the menu any time soon. However my last dog, a blue roan spaniel, used to scoff any glasses of wine which were left anywhere he was able to reach.ViewDate:

Is a second national lockdown for vulnerable over 50s the right way forward?I do not agree to lockdown because you are over a certain age. I will shortly be 83, and live alone but I am as healthy as I was 20 years ago. I have a dog who gets walked at least twice a day, do my garden, my own shopping, housework, knitting and sewing which keeps me busy every day. The only problem I have is that I get lonely, especially in winter but being shut up for days on end would make that worse not better I do know some people who need to be extra cautious due to ill health but I would say they have enough common sense to keep away from crowds etc without being told by the Government.ViewDate:

Is it realistic to expect over 70s to remain in their homes for 4 months?I am 82 and have lived alone since the sudden death of my husband 20 years ago, I do however have a dog who I walk twice a day and most of the people I know in the vicinity are also dog walkers so, especially in winter months, they can be the only people I speak to for several days. I am a fit and healthy person, on no medication and my visits to the doctors is usually once a year for the flu injection. Unfortunately my mental health isn't as good and I am inclined to panic when I don't see or speak to anyone for a few days and the thought of being isolated for 4 months is not good. I do have family living reasonably near but they will have their own problems although I know they will help all they can.ViewDate:

Win an All-new Kindle Paperwhite, Waterproof eReader, 6″I would love a new kindle. The one I have used to belong to my sister. She gave it to me when she got a new one a good number of years ago.
