Knob

Trendy Carol ( neat jeans , very nice leather jacket, hair slightly big) called over the kitchen wall this morning. She asked for a spare key to the cottage and will pop in when I am at work to check on the girls.
Another example of community which is genuine, undemanding and kind.

I listened to Jacob Rees Mogg verbally slap down an NHS Urology consultant on LBC talk radio yesterday morning for highlighting health care worries a no deal Brexit could cause.
The doctor was polite yet shocked by Rees Mogg's rudeness
I was sickened by it.
Like many Americans, I don't want the people that represent me being rude....
Cruelty, rudeness and lying
Politics seems to hurtling down this route
I sent him a tweet telling him he's a knob

Gwen- one of the happier moments in the film 

Knob is my word du jour 
I use it  daily and did so last night when a man continued to talk to his wife very loudly during a screening of the Welsh movie " Gwen " even after being politely asked not to by a young woman behind me
" You're being a knob!" I told him and he hushed very quickly

No, the irony of me calling everyone a knob is not lost on me .( I need to get that in before the anon commentators start!)

The film was " advertised " as being artistic and beautiful.
It was depressing and somewhat downbeat and looked every inch it's budget

I am meeting a friend this afternoon. She comes from land locked England  and is going through a hard time with health and family issues so needs the seaside air and quiet ear.
She was a rock for me a year or so ago, and I intend to repay the favour.
Quid Pro Quo
