If Toodles had realised how vital this was to be to British English speakers, she’d have sent the entire back catalogue.
Australia Day [6 to 10]
(0131) I feel the heading is justified for Brit/US readers of our political leaning as they have the same issues down there and this very Australia Day has been the subject of much strife down there. (0149)

9. Treason … no other word for it

7. A sorry situation
6. The Australian “leader” greets her country
She is the equivalent, though over a much longer time period, of Rupert Lowe as British “leader”.
Monday [1 to 5]
(0003) Had some sleep. Judging by the news, may have been better to pretend I was still asleep. Shall try for more soon. (0034)
5. Alberta
4. The invention of “brain death”

It was a youtube but here’s a sshot from it:
21. Shoolie permitted that I run this
She said it was yum.
20. Bruges Group
“The idea that the Tories only win as a broad church is demonstrably false. In the past 50 years, only Thatcher and Johnson have won substantial parliamentary majorities – neither on a centrist prospectus. The abandonment of conservatism is why voters have turned to Reform.”

Some jazz
Sun Mat
Noted the “mediums” from our chaps, to be posted later … but also Kant Explain: archive-dot-org/details/laura_202003 … that’s going to take a bit of time to set up on HQ and shall do, but at this moment, time’s at a premium, what with jazz coming up … so going with the radio play via IYE just now, no blurb, have to start sorting the jazz. Also, great to hear better health news, IYE.
Frankly, I’d rather listen in bed than watch something … climbing back under the covers. Right, jazz is sorted for 1530, quick look around the blogs, then a snooze or listen.
Sunday [11 to 15]
(1357) Not sure there’ll be a film, chaps and chapesses, another burst of blogging below, then the jazz, then decide on a film or not. (1408)
15. Yes
14. Not sure who she is, must find out
13. Needs corroboration of course. Echo is MSM.
12. In one
11. I’d like to see it happen, can’t see it 🍿🍿🍿🍿
Canadians need a boot on the backside for their voting choices, just as our normies do too. Also, it would shake things up, might rid Canada of Carney and the psycho left.
Sunday
No idea if we’ve had this recently or not … it was in the queue to post. We’re having it anyway. Have a good Sunday afternoon, what’s left of it, chaps and chapesses.
Sunday [6 to 10]
(1046) Just awoke after another surprise four hour sleep. Posted this first before doing any of the day’s doings … health fine, hope yours is too. More in Sun 6….
(1251) First round of jobs done, starting blogging with the TPA below. (1308)
10. Moosh corner
9. Watch thos E numbers, folks
8. How are the Demonrats getting away with it?
Needs Insurrection Act and Army or Marines. Yes, it starts the civil war but the timidity is what is emboldening them.
7. TPA today (at 1251)
No url in blogrolls, you’d need to search … they don’t provide their url in the newsletter … but but but, and it’s a big but:
“But perhaps the most important development came right at the end when the government pulled their Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory bill aka the Chagos surrender bill. Far from being signed, sealed, and delivered, the bill and Starmer’s “deal” to pay to give away British territory looks like it might finally be defeated. After months of campaigning, research, and pressure on MPs, an intervention from the US president could finally kill off this disgraceful agreement.”
6. Notes
Contingency plans
Mostly, our concern for each other is health based … might be some sort of accident concern after that, maybe sommit from govt through phone or mail, we each have our way of getting the message out.
Interesting that relief groups in the n-e USA posted on X to please put your porch light on if you’ve been without power, so that “we” (relief group) can see you’re back to normal and don’t need to make physical contact. Hmmmmm.
My primary method is to post sommit here, which I’ve now done. Next is to email one or two people. Phone is NOT one of my favoured methods as phone calls take me out of circulation at precisely the moment I need to be in action. You might be an avid phone-glued-to-ear person, I’m not … no multitasking ability whatever. Sorry-me.
If sommit appears here, I’m ok. Next question is … are you ok? My neighbour’s not … bad lurgy, oh dear. …/END part one. Part two later.
