Another day of joy and happiness.
I collected the new sealant from the ironmongers early today and have still not got the job done! A new problem arose in the loo: this entailed pulling things up, cleaning and fiddling about which led to me putting the sealing off until later. Then there was the emails to deal with, and the Covid Test run by some university that came through the door (old people get lots of these things) and that took longer to understand and pack than anything else.
With that sent off I turned to the laptop. I attempted to renew a Xmas gift subscription, it did not work, then it did, but at all times I was confused and slow. Being Xmas I sought other gifts; after a while I gave up as they were hurting my eyes and all looking either the same or too expensive. There was also a lot of 'tat' with high prices available. The 'tat' I want has to be cheap.
Oh yes, I did manage to buy something for myself...
After lunch, which has left the place stinking of fish, I failed to get motivated to seal the end of the bath. I still have also to finish the new work there I notice, more to be done...tomorrow.
The great event began with Joe Biden arriving in Edinburgh and chugging his way 40 miles to Glasgow. This way he avoided all the private aircraft carrying those attending the gathering. Boris, keen to appear 'Green,' has warned the 'end is nigh,' and 'something must be done,' all the while allowing a new coal mine to be dug, another oil field to begin and shit to spew out across England and Wales rivers and coasts. Jolly good these men were not planning to swim here...
Will anything happen? China and Russia are not sending their President, and this broken world will still be broken later, especially after the hundred million dollars promised the last time have not been paid to the small nations to aid their environmental work.
It's Poppy time again. This means I will buy one, find it missing, buy another, wonder where it went, and find a third, which I will hang onto with both hands! That's the usual situation.
Also we now find the chancers getting aboard the money bus. All sort of poppy merchandise will appear that does not offer cash to the Legion. Goalkeepers gloves are available, covered in poppies, but I doubt the Legion thought that one up, nor will they benefit. Some dubious items will pass on some cash, most will just line their pockets with poppy items that ought not to be seen in public.
