A few hardy souls on Porthcawl beach.

C’mon, you know it’s time!

📌Three soldiers are dead tonight. Their Commander in Chief took no responsibility for it, and didn’t show a shred of empathy.
He is a tiny man, a coward, completely unfit for duty, and an embarrassment to all of us who served.
I spit on him.

According to ‘Ring’ there is motion at my front door. Presumably an egg delivery.

Took me a while to found a breeder producing whippets with built in carry handles.

Misty morning in our beautiful valley.

You certainly won’t find me waving a Palestinian flag, but Trump saying Palestinians should leave Gaza is nonsense. Strange that our PM is praising Trump publicly. Careful handling of the ‘special relationship’?

I’ve had an idea.

Lean into life.

The USA is a very strange place. Too big to be a single country. The appointment of Hegseth seems a bit like a Hungarian right winger being put in charge of the UK military. How can that ever work?

More councils voting for a national inquiry into grooming gangs. Good to see their ethical approach. No protecting votes here.

Starmer announces public inquiry into Southport murders ‘unburdened by cultural or institutional sensitivities’, unlike a public inquiry into the grooming gangs which would have been burdened by his voting base.

All the Labour politicians wringing their hands over the rape gangs saying it must be all about the victims. Wouldn’t want to make it about a part of their voting base would they. Talk about avoiding solving the problem at its root. Shocking behaviour.

Nearly three years on from major cancer surgery I’m giving the motorbike a go. Never give up on hope!

Ice cream van in splendid isolation.
