Tango

I saw Elbow at a small venue near where I used to live, just as they were breaking into the big time. Excellent live band. I've been a fan since Asleep in the Back, 2001. They did a few songs during lockdown #elbowrooms.

I saw a bit an interview of Jacob Rees Mogg being "interviewed" by Nick Ferrari on LBC during the week and he was spouting all sorts of bollocks, completely unchallenged by the "interviewer"! People hear a cunt with a plummy voice coming out with this shit and accept it as fact! Serf mentality!

Apathy, Pete! And people being gaslighted by the MSM. Once C4 is sold off there will be no one holding the government to account!

My mum isn't on the full state pension, so she gets a little bit of pension credit, but she's worried about the cost of everything rising. My brother had to give up work to care for his missus, as she's got a form of alzheimers, but he don't get a lot of money from the state, so he's struggling too. It's hard to see how people on lower incomes will survive! The country has been run into the ground, but people will still vote for the shysters. There seems to be no appreciation of Cause and Effect with the general public! Why so many vote against their own best interests bewilders me!

Solved the fuel crisis!

Mandy bought an Omiron BP thingy and it seems pretty good, but even though she was measuring and recording her blood pressure several times a day they still hooked her up to a 24hr monitor just to make sure. Mandy is on medication for high blood pressure now, which seems to be working. I check my BP every now and then and fortunately it's pretty much in the normal range.

Windy and cold here again. Spots of sleet coming down occasionally! I didn't move all this way for it to be cold! I think I need to write a strongly worded letter to M. Macron to ask what he's going to do about it!

Ah yes, the good old days, how we miss them..............NOT!

Two friends are having a nice round of golf, when one of them hacks his ball into the long grass next to a water trap. He's hunting through the long grass, backwards and forwards, when he eventually finds his ball, next to a frog. He reached down to move the frog, but the frog suddenly says "kiss me and I'll turn into a beautiful princess!" The guy steps back, "What?!!" The frog says "kiss me and I'll turn into a beautiful princess and we can get married and have lots of children and live in a big castle, happily ever after" The guy reaches down, picks up the frog and puts it in his pocket. His friend, who had come over to help look for the ball, says "didn't you hear what that frog said?" "It said that if you kiss it, it'll turn into a beautiful princess and you could get married and have lots of kids and live in a big castle, happily ever after!" The guy shrugged and lined up to take his shot "Well?" Said his mate, "don't you want all that?" The guy says "nah, I'd rather have a talking frog!"

Sunny but very windy and a bit cold here, so probably no getting out on the bike until sometime during the week.
