Two months into 2021 and sadly Sport still remains a homebased activity which means Gaming time continues to be the dominant for the year so far. On the subject of time, it passes very quickly in Lockdown as after reaching 33, a few weeks before the first Lockdown, I ended the month aged 34 and still we are in a Lockdown phase.
Sport
Hopes of any physical attendances in the near future suffered a huge dent with the curtailing of the Non-League season for a second year in a row. This was followed by the news that any spectator attendances would be in mid-May at the earliest meaning the upcoming Super League season will begin homebased and also mean a full calendar year between attendances.
The mixed news above was hindered further by a woeful month for Liverpool with any title hopes ended. A trilogy of defeats to Brighton (0-1), Man City (1-4) & Leicester (3-1) saw form hit rock-bottom before a 2-0 win over RB Leipzig kept European hopes alive. However it was simply a stop-gap form wise as a first home Merseyside Derby defeat since 1999 saw Everton win 2-0 though thankfully a win on my Birthday (2-0 vs Sheffield U) meant ending the month on a positive.
As referenced last month, the new Super League season would usually be in full swing but at least unlike in Jan, has a confirmed structure and start date of late March as well as detailed fixture schedules. Also, news on 2021 ST's has been revealed with my renewal due to be sorted soon just with a potential first physical attendance not until May/June.
Life
The Countdown Weights reached 112/113 per round as the month ended with the next milestone of 250,000 lifts within sight for March. Sadly actual weight is still around the 129kg mark but is steady rather than increasing like in Jan.
Updating on the friends front, sadly the exit of a long term friend seems to be a permanent one with any chances to re-connect cut off but the two mentioned as close in the Jan post happily are still with me as are a few new friends with a mix of UK and overseas based connections.
After initial progress of the LEGO Minifigures puzzle, it was finally completed during the month (as seen below) and new projects are on the horizon after being gifted two Lego sets and the LFC stadium set with the latter being the final one in the set of the Santa, Ball and Bus and any completions will be detailed in the next summary post.
Gaming
As the month has been homebased, highlights are limited but a few are shown below.
