Ancient; ungrumpy; intrigued by how culture changes within a lifetime. Appalled by aspects of the legacy my generation is leaving for our grandchildren; content with other aspects. Bridge. Gadgetry. Puzzles.
Just learned with sadness that the Green Man festival at Bradford-on-Avon has stopped. It was an annual delightful day in a charming town, ending with Stripping The Willow when we all took a leaf from the Green Man to keep for luck in the following 12 months.
The luck has run out.

I'm sad that María Machado felt she had to hand over her Nobel medal and kiss the orange anus. What a distopia!

According to the Independent newspaper, the UK is in there too with a massive deployment of one officer: "UK sends military officer to Greenland amid ongoing Trump threats"
And we're helping out a bit behind the scenes too, apparently.

NATO members Norway, Germany and Sweden are all sending troops to Greenland after the orange felon’s criminal threats to invade, attack and annex the island.
Good, more countries should join them. Fuck fascism, fuck tyrants.

In UK I mailed my constituency Member of Parliament saying I expect any decent government of the UK to openly oppose one country's invasion of another and abduction of citizens, and asked for assurance that the MP is working to that end. I hope many others will too.
