Day 105 Save the Arts!

Notes for new readers - as this is a diary the first entry is the last, so you get to know 'who done it' before the crime is committed! This is a pain but can't be helped. After a week of entries the scrolling will stop and if you want to venture further click on 'OLDER POSTS' and read until you get to the first entry 'The Day Before Day 1

Rained on and off for most of the day. Sheila declined to walk with us and get wet. Jasper and I went alone.

This morning I went shopping in Llantwit. I needed food for the weekend and my idea was to call into Cosy Fox and get a couple more of their lovely plants. I checked their Website for opening hours but when I got there they were closed and they seemed to be redecorating. No matter I can go again.

I saw on the news that people were heading down to the West Country for the weekend. Whatever for if it is raining there?
Binge watched the rest of the Cormoran Strike episodes after our wet walk. I understand a 4th book is to be shown sometime later this year - Lethal White. I look forward to it.

Snippet from the News

Boris Johnson has suggested the prospect of a failing to reach a trade deal before the end the Brexit transition period would be a “very good option” for the UK.

The prime minister’s remarks come after the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, warned the EU must prepare for the possible failure of the Brexit trade talks, saying progress in the negotiations had been “to put it mildly, minimal”.

Attempting to strike a more upbeat tone, Mr Johnson told LBC radio: “We now need to make sure we get a good deal. I think actually – I’ve had some very good conversations – with friends and colleagues around the EU. I’m a bit more optimistic than Michel Barnier is there.

He added: “I just think there’s a good agreement to be reached, but obviously if we can’t then we will have the very good option also of an Australian-style arrangement.”

However, Australia does not have a free trade agreement with the EU, and the UK government has consistently used the term “Australian-style arrangement” as a euphemism for leaving the bloc without a deal at the end of the 11-month transition period.

This is me dishing out what looks like soup. Probably about late 1959/60. I am in the back kitchen of Jim's family house Coombes Holloway, in Halesowen. There was a back back kitchen as well . . .
