The tweets of the week in the London Borough of Barnet - 19th December 2021

 So how has your week been? This was meant to be one of my best weeks of the year. I managed to play five a side at Powerleague and watch the mighty Hadley FC beat Crawley Town 5-0. I was meant to be going to see The Vibrators last night at the Dublin Castle and the Pogue Traders at the same venue. My best mate is isolating as his daughter has Covid. As with last year, as Christmas moves closer, it seems to move further away. I was planning to attend mass at The Sacred Heart on Xmas Eve at 5pm. I've just learned it's been cancelled. So that's been my week. What have our local tweeters been up to?

1. I love this thread. What unite's George Michael and Syd's barbers?

2. This strange glow in the sky has been causing a lot of chit chat on social media. We won't spoil the fun and explain

3. Well done to my old school for engaging in the proper spirit of Xmas

🙏 Thank you to all who contributed to our Advent collection for those in need within our parishes and local community. The final items were collected yesterday by Colindale Foodbank who were very grateful for our efforts. pic.twitter.com/uD8fSmVc7M

4. My pal Dr Julia Hines put a lot of work into this thread. It is worth a read. I've known Julia a long time and she's someone who's opinion I trust without question.

Thanks for listening. Take care of yourselves and each other, and enjoy the festivities as far as you can. pic.twitter.com/RJioMSdknX

6. This tweet caught my eye. It seems that a new film studio opens every week somewhere around here
