Ugh! Another wet and pretty miserable morning weatherwise! A bit disappointting for me as I was intending to play in a "Friendly" at the Cons Bowling Club this evening. Will it be playable by 5pm? I hope so!
There was a report on teh News of anotehr dreadful shooting at a school in Tennessee. 3 9 year of children abd 3 adults were shot dead. As was the assailant. How dreadful that is. Just imagine waving off your child to school and then get such a message? . It seems to occur in the USA quite frequently yet I think it is in their Constitution that they are entitled " to bear arms". It seems lthat buying a gun in America is just about as easy as buying a bottle of milk.
There's a big upset in France at the moment. Rioting against the proposal to raise the pension age from 62 to 64. The state visit by the King has had to be postponed. as a consequence. How embarrassing is that for the French President?
Stay Safe! Stay Alert! Stay Well!

It was an abslolutely gloriously ssunny day, yesterday. Bright blue, cloudless skies. And pleasantly warm too. It confirmed that Spring had safely arrived! My trips out were all the more enjoyable when the sun is shining!
Martin is safely back from his trip to see family in Australia. He;s obviously had a really good time and he is so enthusiastic about how lovely Australia is. He visited the Sydney Opera House and Bondi Beach of course. It is wondeful that you are able to get on a plane and fly to "Down Under" in a matter of hours. I suppose you may not remember the £10 Assisted Passages that were available years ago which involved a 6 week sea voyage to get there?
I watched on BBC iPlayer " Darkest Hour". The story of Winston Churchill during wartime. A fabulous film. Do watch it, if you have the time.
A replacement has been elected to follow Nicola Sturgeon as the First Mninster of the SNP. There have been several suggestions that the SNP might collapse. What do you think?
Stay Safe! Stay Alert! Stay Well!
