Not sure if wine and paint is a good combo either??. Should be an interesting day - wine, wind, paint. Have fun!

That’s great news and must be a big load off your mind, too. Bouquet of flowers for Mrs B. ?
Hello, pleased you managed to sleep. Lavender is supposed to be good for helping you sleep.
My plans for the weekend - overtime tomorrow, gym at 8am Sunday then going with daughter to check out the best route for her to get to her new job that she starts on Monday. It's about 30 miles away in Barnard Castle ( yes, that one, of Dominic Cummings fame!) but because it wasn't where she applied to, she can claim expenses.
Hopefully celebrate an Everton win as well!
Pleased to hear Mrs Blue's check went well.

Strange times indeed.
I get why Starmer is calling for a general election as he needs to be seen to be saying and doing the "right things". But if he really wants to take over control of this country right now he must be an absolute idiot. Politically and financially, we're in the middle of one of the most turbulent era's in recent times and in the short term it will only get worse. Covid, Ukraine, cost of living, inflation, civil unrest, climate change, strikes, Brexit fallout and crazy fiscal management is a cocktail of disastrous proportions that is practically impossible to manage.
2 years is a very short time in politics and the next 2 years are going to be horrendous. There are many very difficult decisions to be made and millions of the electorate will be turned off whichever way they go. Even if they are the best decisions for the country they will still piss most people off. It's a no win situation at the moment, whoever is in charge. Many of the problems are already out of our control.
The Tories are already finished as a political power, for at least as long as people see Labour as a viable alternative. If they had any sense they would realise that and call for a general election now, thereby throwing Labour into the hot seat. The best scenario for them is that many will turn against Labour as they too struggle to control the situation, and they get a fighting chance at the next general election in 5 years time. But the Tories won;t do that. They will try and cling on to power and in doing so will dig an even bigger trench for themselves that is already as deep as the Mariana. For me, that is playing right into Starmer's hands.
In my opinion, Labour should use the next 2 years planning for an extended period in government. For building a manifesto focusing on long sustainable economic growth based around a green economy and self sufficiency as much as practical, involving the nationalisation of many key industries including utilities, transport and steel. The Tories struggling for the next 2 years will ensure Labour win the next election with a sizeable majority and with luck. many of the issues causing grief at the moment, will have been resolved to a large extent, leaving Starmer able to focus on the things that matter, like climate change and building a green economy.
After all that doom and gloom, I've just seen that slippy has been sacked. There is a God after all.

You're getting about a lot lately Bill. Have a great time. Is it just a weekend break?
The horror show that the Tories have delivered is creating the perfect storm for the Irish and Scottish independence parties. It isn’t that hard a sell now to paint a picture of a prosperous future as far from Tories as possible. As you say, Starmer has a hell of a mess to take charge of now.Strange times indeed.

Re Slippy, I wanted him to do well there and then replace Klopp. I have dreamt of the Kop turning on him and him badmouthing them.
Great news blue!

I did listen to more songs with Eissa, Lena and Octavian on vocals which were are all really good! I'll look for that album, it sounds interesting lol

Do you prefer any over the others? I go for Athena only because she doesn't growl. I don't think the growling is prominent enough to put me off the others as Eissa Morphide and Lena are such good singer, they waste it growling imo. I've got a bit of a crush on Lena though lol

lol I don't like the growling either! I think I prefer Eissa slightly over Athena, but it's really too close and all 3 women are amazing singers!

Not sure where Starmer stands on the Union and another vote. But I think Brexit is justification enough to go back to the people of NI, Scotland and Wales to see if they still want to remain part of the UK. Then go with the majority. There was a time when I would be disappointed to see any break up of the UK, but now I have different priorities.
As regards Slippy, I don't want him to succeed in anything. I think hate is probably a word used far too often, but there aren't many people who I would switch off if they came on the telly, and he's one of them. It's not rational really and most unlike me too.
Big curry on Friday night?
