James is at the Hill-walking club social evening and I’m at home with Ally. Wee Flora is curled up on my lap. The MPs who are against the possibility of a No Deal Brexit have just voted to take control of House of Commons business. In response PM Boris Johnson (who asserts that he can still get a new deal, but does not want to rule out a No Deal because he feels it will adversely affect negotiations) has threatened that he will call a general election. I have said before in this blog that I’m not a political animal but surely ruling out No Deal will disadvantage the UK in negotiations with the EU? All sides seem to be intent only on blocking each other without any thought to the good of the country or indeed to the result of the referendum. It all seems such a mess.
Closer to home, we are back in the hospital routine again, visiting Grandma in the afternoons. She seems to be improving slowly. Ally went to visit her earlier this evening and thought that she was doing ok. We have also been exercising at the gym and working on various projects in the house and garden. On Saturday we had a really lovely evening at Michael and Lil’s. Steven and Hilary were also there and we had a great laugh. The meal was delicious but special mention must be made of the gooseberry cheesecake, made with red gooseberries, which was absolutely gorgeous. I have persuaded James to purchase a couple of new gooseberry bushes.
