I clearly got some aspects of this prediction wrong.
Ah yes, the Wellerman Era.
Henry, for all his flaws, was at least a good lap-sitter.
My home office catches the sun very nicely in the morning.
Well that ending caught me by surprise.
It makes no sense. Immersion – ruined.
This will never stop bothering me.

The story of my first COVID booster
My Twitter following has grown to the point where something like this can get me 4 likes and a retweet. Most of my tweets get at least one like these days actually, I must have a fan.
Eurovision 2021 is remarkable for Iceland’s entry, 10 Years by Daði Freyr, which utterly slaps.
I hope this is enough to make up for the remark about her driving.
I do have a tendency to go overboard with this sort of thing. One day I’ll show you the stack of blank notebooks that wobbles on the bookshelf behind me.
I just spent way too long looking for the heating instructions on that pot of gazpacho soup.
I am Arnold Rimmer.21 June 2021
I refer you back to the tweet of 21 June 2019.
Any hotel owners who don’t know what I’m talking about, please feel free to drop me a message and I’ll be happy to clarify.

10 PRINT “AROOOOO!”
Since then I’ve mastered the art of using a bit of hot water to loosen the lid. Top tip – you’re not doing it for long enough.
Five people “liked” this and I can’t help wondering if by “like” what they actually mean is “arrrrggghhh!”
Uhhhh that makes no sense at all. Where am I going with this?
Oh riiiiight it’s one of those.
The ability to point out the historical inaccuracies in a novelist’s work directly to their face is clearly one of the best things that Twitter gave the world.

There was no way I could let this opportunity pass. Sadly the collection of magnetic letters didn’t quite have enough digits so I did have to make one small compromise.
Three retweets and seven likes, in case you were curious.
With a setup like that, it was impossible to resist.10 August 2021
Hang on. Hang on just a second. I can’t believe what’s happened here. You’ve read the 2020 entry, right? How could this be? Someone’s made a colossal mistake here. And that someone is me.
I like to assume that they’re not making stuff up already.
Computer: Maintenance in progress
Me: Okay then.15 September 2021
I swear that my computer is doing this more and more often now that the operating system is reaching EOL, to try and make me upgrade.
Amazon in general has had its day, I think. Turns out that being able to know the providence of the item you’re ordering is more important than we thought.

Just me? Okay then.
I could spend hours meditating on this one sentence alone.

These were amazing and I haven’t made them since because I think that the human body can probably only handle them once a decade.
As these tweets get closer to the current date, I feel less and less like I’m reading something that was written by Past Pete, and more and more like I’m reading the thoughts of Present Pete.
I’m glad that this year’s final tweet was a gem like this.
And so ends 2021. The next instalment will be the last!
