Gdaughter had breakfast at 6:15 so here I am making lunch at 11:30……..apparently this means there’ll be enough time left in the day for both dinner and supper

There must be a reason why the washing up sponge that went missing yesterday turned up on the hall table this morning but neither of us has any idea what it might be

You can tell it’s half term when, at 9am on a Saturday, you’ve been on the go for 3 hours already

On a brighter note, DiL just messaged that the grandkids we were looking after for the past week both have nits; so I’m off to Boots in a minute…..

6:45 on a Saturday morning

Grand daughter “Why is it called a building when it’s already been made? It should be called a built”

……it’s far too early for this……

Something no one is talking about…..

Mandelson seems to have been passing sensitive confidential information to our country’s disadvantage.

Information solicited by US institutions

Not Chinese, not Russian…..AMERICAN!!!!

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

This is the pink jacket lady’s angle. (From Drop Site News)

Horrific. Bovino is a stone cold liar.

Pretti wasn’t attacking officers, he had just helped a lady they assaulted and had gotten pepper sprayed.

Here’s the thing about loss of trust

After all the lies and deceit from the US administration just this last week about my country and our allies does this look to me like legitimate law enforcement in Minnesota or is it out of control paramilitaries?

You need to listen to this whole thing.

So it’s all calmed down…..or has it?

Who knows?

What’s for sure is that once seen these things can’t be unseen

Trust lost tends to stay lost

USA has taken long term damage this week

The question my generation has to ask ourselves is:

Is this a completely new USA or has the mask just slipped, or maybe have they decided to abandon the mask altogether?

Will NATO come to America’s rescue?

More than 500 British soldiers died supporting USA’s wars of vengeance in the Middle East

Everything he says tells us America is completely untrustworthy

On a happier note Champions League is back this evening….

From a town of 55000 in the arctic circle to Real Madrid’s 85000 seater stadium - there’s nothing like it!!
( unless Trump has his eye on Bodo-Glimt too….)

Just realised that this is all about 250 years of the USA!!!

The empire is demanding a territorial tribute to mark its anniversary

There must be a question now whether the continued US military presence in Greenland is in any way appropriate or desirable

More considered response
My generation grew up believing USA for all its faults,was at heart well meaning
That’s gone&won’t come back
Even if 5 Obamas were elected question remains “what if they choose another Trump?”
USA only understands strength
Boycott anything US & tax the hell out of US Tech!

Seems to me that events in Venezuela fit exactly with Trump’s “spheres of influence” philosophy - that “strong”nations can do as they wish in “their” region
You’d assume Ukraine, the Baltics and Taiwan are now seen as fair game
Europe had better get its rearmament program into the highest gear…….

Here’s the thing about getting a bit older (not far off seventy as it happens) you can head off to your annual hearing review at Boots, as I did this morning, and forget to take your hearing aids with you….

British media obsession with the US baffles me
Top story on BBC News website is the Reiners
Yes it’s a gruesome tragedy, son accused of stabbing parents to death
But unfortunately things like this happen regularly somewhere in the world
As far as I can tell the family had zero connection to UK…..
