Ok well, only just. Car had flat battery and I have a mobile charger (bought after last time!). And OK I did have to get instruction manual on how to open the bonnet! In my defence it was the slider bit not the actual trigger for the bonnet – and why have it in bright yellow when it is out of sight! A nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse! Anyway the car is working again – I took it for a spin and then went to doctors for my repeat prescription (I left the engine running – just in case! So first the electrics, then the car and the third is the washing machine which decided to start leaking – but it is about 10years old which I guess is about right – new one being delivered on Thursday and the old one taken away. Domestic god or what (OK it is definitely an or what!). I am expecting the dishwasher to conk out next as it is over 20 years old.
Sun is shining and tomorrow should get warmer so I will plant chillies seeds in conservatory.
The news – well the Torygraph has a front page go at Angela Rayner for being in Ethiopia – I could not be bothered to read the details. The Express harps on about old people being cold – I have a secret for them. When little my bedroom had thick ice on the inside, we were shouted at to close doors constantly – a little cold is not a problem! (emphasis on “a little”!
Starmer is doing well! Perhaps diplomacy and the grand view of things is his forte? His comments have been considered and sensible – none of the populist slogan shouting. Thats why the Torygraph keeps a negative narrative on Starmers talks with EU leaders, and the Mail headlines Badenoch’s latest anti-woke bollocks. I guess Tories will have new leader after the May elections!
