Dull, dreich, dismal day today. Rain from early morning, cloudy drizzle thereafter, just the ideal day to stay indoors and catch up on the repairs the place requires. The night had been short however and I did not sleep too well for unknown reasons, rising early was also not good and the day has been passed in a blurry haze. The blurry haze may be the reasons the work I began have failed miserably, others look to follow and work planned for tomorrow is looking very unattractive. Maybe instead of letting all this go to waste I ought to write a play about an incompetent doing DIY? The slapstick effects will be wonderful, that reminds me where is the paint?
On top of this the workmen, who bodge it better than I, are coming to fix a Carbon monoxide detector in the house, something landlords must do by law now, and the plumber made it clear to me our boiler which sticks pout through a hole in the wall does not require one of these, but the law says install one anyway. The new smoke alarm makes sense and mine must be getting old by now so that is a good idea. I suspect they will arrive when I am walking in tomorrows rain towards the post office, my tea levels will be drained by the time I return!
A nice picture of the unelected English queen asking the democratically elected Chinese dictator how much he is willing to pay for her house at Balmoral. He may as well buy it as he has bought her government already. What a sight to see, English Conservatives selling everything to the Chinese as they have no idea themselves how to make money. Will there be a 'special relationship?' There will certainly be no questions about the thousands of lawyers recently imprisoned, the thousands of Christians imprisoned the churches torn down or the threats to Japan and other south east Asian nations. There will however be money in George and Dave's pockets, so that's all right then...

We'll all be owned by China soon...and then we'll be buying products made in our own countries instead of those imported from China!!
On being requested to do things round the house father's reply was
"Get a man in.'
And people - well, a minority - voted for these crooks. Bring back the Star Chamber...bring back treason trials...
I'll just nip out and sharpen the axe...
In first grade, my son drew a photo of flowers in a vase and on the edge of the vase, you can make out the words "MADE IN CHINA". Clever boy, he noticed this at an early age, so many things in the USA made in China!
Lee, We will have Chinese passports if Cameron gets his way.
Fly, Had Labour done this they would cry 'Communists!"
Kay, All flags are made in China!
