What a mystifying election and result! I was over there of course and a lot of people had good reasons to feel the way they felt, but I couldn’t help hearing Trump screaming fix had he been so comprehensibly beaten.
Every country has to do what’s right, and often it’s as much about the opponent as the person you vote for. Perhaps the leaders of the free world weren’t ready for a woman? Or equality?
I did enjoy sitting up my tree outside the White House, but the stunned faces and heads in hand were rather sad.
What isn’t sad is what’s happening now. Elon Musk as an advisor? The man who doubled the Twitter now X poison. Secretary of Defence with no political experience whatsoever. Archbishop of Canterbury resigning. Drivers in Wales still hold valid licences with hundreds of points on their licence because it would cause real hardship if they couldn’t drive. Most of the G7 didn’t turn up to COP29.
‘Excuse me what?’ does not begin to explain this world at the moment.
It’s an exciting platform for member’s of the press though.
Even more surprising
The BBC have managed to shoehorn the political correspondent and ambassador for Next out of his seat on Match of the Day. Thought he’d be there destroying the morale of the England Men’s Team ad infinitum, from his position as a member of a team that achieved nothing much, but they did have great hair and slumped theatrically beautifully at the end of most defeats.
Well well well. Hopefully his replacement will stick to football and be a little more supportive.
Kids
Yes I still have my grandson living with me. Yes he loves my work and is an adept tree climber, I never expected to have a 13 year old assistant who was so enthusiastic or so expensive. The threat of being reported for child labour induced a very healthy salary.
His parents have given up in despair, as he told a magistrate about his despair and poor mental health having been forced to move to the south coast away from his beloved grandpa, with a litany of very convincing sobs. Apparently his psyche was at the point of collapse. His dad gave up and dared me to lose him, so far so good.
He also dared me to teach him anything. I am hoping that enrolling him in drama school (the video a mate of his took during the hearing has gone viral and Coronation Street are interested in him) won’t get me shot. But it was the price I had to pay to get him to go to school at all. They have a very good educational curriculum as well as teaching people to act, or in his case probably lie even more convincingly.
Actually he’s a good kid, he has a wonderful heart and is very caring and kind to animals. Apparently though every adult except me is a complete moron not worth his time or attention. I’m sure he’ll grow out of it, or realise he’s wrong about me. I’m still trying to work out how the heck I got hooked up in this.
If he can’t become an actor I think the clandestine services might be an equally good choice.
Hey ho. I’m off to COP29 tomorrow to see if anyone is still there. Keep you posted.
The good news is that chemtrails aren’t going to fry your brain, they’re simply water vapour caused by hot air escaping from aeroplane engines. I’m sure that people will say I’m naïve and too accepting, led by the nose by a demonic proletariat, and don’t know my butt from my elbow, but I know better than to write about theories until they’re facts. Which of course means I believe almost nothing, I’m not even sure about the hot air.
Best
