It is the time of the year to look up and listen. Last night, as I was bemoaning the lack of football on TV, I heard this boy sing. (It may be female, I don't know) How wonderful is the sound of a Thrush in the evening, or perhaps a Blackbird, lots of them around here as always. So far tonight he has not shown up, too early, and the sun is still shining high in the sky. I suspect he, and his mates, will be seeking the late worms and other beasties that manifest themselves at this time of year. Walking around today I noticed again the Swifts overhead. Maybe they were House Martins, but I am sure they are swifts. They all move to fast to check!
I saw them when I was returning from 'Poundland' & 'B&M.' I had gone to stock up on the £1 imitation Daz, and cheap bleach. However, there were huge gaps in the shelves. While filled as well as could be expected it was clear stocks were low. So I left 'Poundland' and went next door to 'B&M' where a similar situation was to be found. It is clear Brexit and the huge costs, let alone the amount of paperwork, has taken its toll on shops importing all their goods from China. Another Brexit Dividend I assume?
In spite of all the denials, all it took was a report from Sue concerning lots of parties at No 10 to enable the Chancellor to hand out the cash to the needy. While this is beneficial, I ask, is this the best method? Certainly this will help many, but for those on benefits how far will £650 go between a family of four, especially if they are not the wisest? I suppose Boris can now claim to be doing something, however, nobody believes him.
I wonder, if he stood down who would replace him? The leading lights are lights that are very dim, and no proper leader will wish to take control, especially as the next election will be a disaster for the Tories. So, step forward Liz Truss! This is your moment, take control, spend two years being worse than Boris, lose the election and allow a real Conservative to return, if there are any left...
