Another restless night. I *always* have those when
I’ve got an alarm set. I made a point of staying in bed until six o’clock this
morning.
Over brekkie I watched an episode of “Beef” in which
the main characters did the dirty deed for no adequately explored reason, and I
then sparked up my lap-top. The internet was still there. Not a lot had changed
overnight really. American friends were still bemoaning the many failings of
President Trump. Personally I can’t help but feel that we might all learn from
history here. There are many historic parallels here, but the vast majority of
wannabe-dictators through the ages were a lot younger than Mr. Trump. If I
lived in America I’d be keeping my head down and waiting for nature to take its
course rather than having him create retrospective laws calling for the
internment of any dissidents.
And our local MP had posted something about the proposed second Thames estuary
crossing. One of the many reasons that our previous MP wasn’t
popular was his endless posting to social media about what other people had
done whilst rarely (if ever) seeming to do anything himself.
Our new chap seems to has followed in the footsteps of his
predecessor.
Pausing only briefly to get lunch from the co-op I set off
to work. There was an interesting statistic mentioned on the radio today. These
days children are more likely to have a mobile phone (over 90%) than
they are to live with both parents (71%).
There was also an interview with the Ukrainian Foreign Minister.
Bearing in mind the hectoring and
demanding attitude from Ukrainian officials over the last few years, she
sounded incredibly different in today’s interview compared to similar interviews
of the past. She sounded genuinely grateful for the international help that her
country has had.
And there was an interview with one of the coaches of some
UK sporting team or other. Apparently the UK is taking part in some big
sporting event and the odds are against the UK team. But this coach says that
he was an “internal optimist”.
I got to work and my phone beeped. The razor blades I’d
ordered from Amazon less than twelve hours previously had arrived.
That was a result.
Work was rather hard work today, but I spent the morning
looking forward to dinner time. Whilst at the co-op as well as a coronation
chicken sandwich I’d also got myself some apple and salted caramel dipper.
Such a disappointment…
Today was dull. But I’m not at work tomorrow, so am hoping
for a decent kip.
