It's been a bit of a bind in recent days. My knees not being good, overdoing it on the front and scunnering myself for over a week, then as that eased I fall flat on my face and do my arm. That will take a while to go, possibly months, and twice today I have screamed after I did this aaaaaaaaaaaaagh, and what is left of the muscles in the arm did not like it. Ice packs aplenty in here. I have only been to Sainsburys and Tesco, and that's too far, and now I just wish to sleep all day. Mind you I am happy with that.
What limited hope has been from watching England fail. Sadly this has not happened. Russian VAR men and a German referee threatened by England before the game saw the officials miss hand balls and gave penalties that did not exist. 5 million Scots very unhappy, let alone the Dutch and the rest of Europe! Only Rangers fans and a handful of Scots Tories support the colonial imperialists.
Viva Espania I say!
One man heading for the final will be England's Prime Minister. And I mean 'England's.' Just in the door and he is already stopping them drilling for oil, his 'Scotland at the heart of Government reveals one cabinet minister only, and Keir's promise to women that he would protect their private spaces has gone out the window as he has installed three women and one man all of whom support the trans lobby. One calls herself not Miss or Ms but 'They,' the man Kinnock's son, has a son who dresses as a girl, and the rest have no idea about life! Scotland and women down the drain, I await a 'U' turn soon.
Twitter has been as mad as always, however, most of the Reform bots have gone. It is interesting to see how many claim to be REFORM, joined Twitter 10 or more years ago, have lots of emojis alongside their name, and have 25,000 followers! Somehow I fell these are as false as the REFORM candidates that did not exist.
I also clicked somewhere on a catholic post, I know not which, and have been inundated with people arguing about the Latin Mass. It was tempting to join in and upset many but I just blocked them all, though others still arrive.
The algorithm sends hundreds of posts because you 'liked' or commented on one. No matter what you are then inundated with them. At least most are UK, up till now they have always been US led and of no use to me.
Book reading has been slow. Not helped by more coming through the letterbox, and more on the way.
There is no time to read them, or am I just slowing up?
I noticed today some 'WhatsApp' posts I have not answered, and other things are being left undone. Partly this is because of movement difficulty and I suspect too much football at the wrong times and a great deal of sloth could be involved. Football is however, slowing, and less will be available for a while.
' O to go down to the sea again,
The lonely sea and sky.
I've left my shirt and socks there,
I wonder if they're dry?'

I feel like that also. Though I suspect the beach we see here will be mobbed by hundreds and thousands at this time. A little bit of sun and warmth and the UK population rush to the coast to get away from it all, and are stranded among millions getting away from it all. It would be nice.
Gerald Taylor, yet another Costa Rican international who has joined the world's most important football club. If he is as successful and his predecessor Vargas we will be on to a good thing indeed. I am not sure where his finica will be in Gorgie...
