The Best View Comes After the Hardest Climb.

Sounds as if you’ve made some progress 👍
Hope your mum is ok at the dentist.

Been watching the news and trying to work out how I would cope if my country was taken over by an authoritarian government would in all likelihood take away my rights and freedoms. 

I don't think I would cope. I mean what would i do? Would I leave? Would I be on a plane? What about Mum? What about my sister and her partner.  

ooops got to leave for the dentist now! Enough thinking XX

Same here, it’s so awful. If you stayed, but had no man in the house how would you live? You couldn’t earn a living, couldn’t walk to the shops on your own, couldn’t admit to any education or views without risking your life, but how would you leave?….it’s just dreadful

Exactly, I mean what lives will the women lead? ust so surreal that I have spent the day worrying about the dentist for Mum and if there would be parking and what is a woman my age doing there today? 
And I thought about when Hitler invaded Austria and how European leaders were like well.........ermmmm this is a bit awkward........please don't invade anywhere else etc and eventually there was war and we don't want that. But I feel slightly like  here we are going Russia? China? - welcome your friends back to power we are Offski! 

And I do get there are reasons for going as apparently we couldn't stay forever and the their army seems to have dissolved and their leader abdicated or at least left the country. I think I am hoping there is a real life Tom Cruise/Mission impossible plan going on but probably not. 

Any how Back to Teen Wolf with mum (don't ask) XX

Yes, I understand the reasons for leaving and whatever is done, or not done, it will be criticised … yet to quote Edmund Burke ‘the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing’ …and it feels like the world is doing nothing right now.

One of my favorite quotes!  I don't know quite what they expected ordinary people to do when their leaders fled with their suitcases of American dollars.

Yep I read about a helicopter full of cash.............Am going to watch the debate just now, whilst I figure out that I have 0 cash... 

Car cost 270. Came out of general savings. Wish I hadn't borrowed that money!! but can't put a wishbone where your backbone should be. 

I am owed almost 50 quid from mum who was amazing yesterday at the dentist! AMAZING. She really is brave. 

 I had to buy a new printer (ours died) and a replacement heated neck thing as mum broke (!) the switch on the one I got her. That money will go on the cc. 

My spending CC is creeping up... 478 (minus 50) so 428....

Car insurance and MOT are due in November... I am sure rabbit insurance is due........Also think house bun is not doing well. I might be imagining things.. but I am worried about him. 

Hmmm. 

The debate is making me angry but honestly this government. I do despair. It is all such a massive boys club. They have no shame about any of it. So much hot air. Not that I especially have a solution. 

I forgot to do my Sh£in returns so now have a bunch of clothes that are massive and weird looking..........It was 25 across two orders so am a bit gutted. 

Actually I think I can still send one lot. 

Right I need breakfast. 
More later. XX

Made breakfast, need to get dressed etc but not sure what mum is doing. Want to clean the kitchen and hallway and move my work stuff into the car so I can sort my classroom tomorrow. 

That would get stuff out, also I could put the charity shop stuff in the car. There needs to be movement in this house!! 

I am pondering, shopping comes at 5.... but I could drop it off tomorrow after work... or before work. 

I am not in anyway a tory but Teresa May is a good parliamentarian. To the point. 

I have to ignore the debate now. It is driving me nuts. It is also annoying that watching it on BBC2 they don't say on screen who is speaking. Am sure they used to. 

I am so lucky. to live here like this. 

Any how.

Is it better on freeview 232 it used to be.  I don't watch any of this stuff anymore as I end up shouting at the TV.  For some reason this seems to have upset the various different men in my life over the years!

I always thought Theresa May was the best of a bad bunch, but they had to get rid of her because she wasn't a member of the boys club whereas Maggie Thatcher ran the boys club.
