Oh my, and I remember when we had to write 1950 on our school work
Anyway, went for a walk on New Year's Day and here's a photo looking down on West Beach in Santa Barbara.
Morning all:
PatO: I loved Elizabeth is Missing! I didn't realize it was a one-time program; had hoped for a series. Oh well. Glenda Jackson is brilliant and the actresses who played her daughter and granddaughter were perfect too.
Llindybird: That antique thistle tile really caught my eye. Just lovely. Oooh and that goose would make me smile every time I looked at it. I'm sure I would've got on with your Mum! Your decorations are understated but add a festive touch to each area. I admire your dedication to adding something to each room. I tended to do the same when my grandkids were younger and would come to visit. But gosh, I'm worn out thinking of all those boxes you have to pack I had two and have just downsized to one. :-))
Clare: Yes, the book is "Trouble Blood" - I think her 'Strike' books get better all the time. Her characters have a lot of depth and she's very skillful at incorporating all the subplots.
Heather: Not a rant at all. The fact that so many people in key - and often overlooked - positions have remained dedicated to their work throughout this whole mess is truly impressive. So many unsung heroes and heroines out there...
OG: I really do need you to do the weekly shopping list for me. I just sort of flail about....
I think the only reason Boris might possibly appeal to anyone is that he isn't Donald Trump, who is still under the delusion that he won the election. As for competent people (especially of the political variety), they seem to be an endangered species..
ANNETTE - I was listening to the recorded phone call between DT and the Georgia man. I have no words! Surely be should be impeached or is it just a question of bearing with it for another couple of weeks?
Pat O said:My theory is that he enjoyed getting there but doesn't enjoy being there. If you see what I mean.
I'll agree with that.
Pat O said:My theory is that he's quite uncomfortable with anything formal.
Bother is, when you've got the top job there are times when nothing short of formal will do. Even I know that - and Winston could certainly have told him that.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
