Thank goodness…

I don’t think I went outside at all today. It was a bit dreich, and JR did all the dog walking.

Pip was here for the morning, and found a comfy place to snooze. When JR went into town, Archie and I watched the cricket. Actually, I watched too much news, all of it very depressing…

Not only is the rubbish piling high round the city in the now nationwide bin strike, a train strike, other professions and unions (barristers, teachers, postal workers) are contemplating strike action, while many of our Water Companies have been disgorging raw sewage on to our beaches with impunity! We’ve just been told our heating bills will go up by 84%, with another rise in a couple of months, and then who knows where it will end… How on earth will people manage?

Thank goodness for dogs. And chocolate.

PS And that’s not even thinking of climate change, wars, floods, droughts, human trafficking… STOP!
