Oh Woe is Me. Things have not gone well today. We had a power failure which lasted several hours, I could feel the house getting hotter and hotter. Eventually - when I was really wanting a cup of tea - I got out my little propane gas stove, and was looking at it nervously. I feel that with all the emergencies I am subject to, living here, I have to have these things even if I don't know how to operate them.
But then the power suddenly came back on before I was desperate enough to try and light it.
Then I couldn't start the car, which is really beginning to worry me. It is only a couple or so weeks ago I had a similar problem and Terry had to come out to the hospital. This time he came out to the house but couldn't start it, so had to send a tow truck to take it to his place. It all happened a bit late in the afternoon, so I don't yet know what the problem is, but am just hoping it is nothing too expensively serious.
The news item of the day is Hilary Clinton's book which is published on Tuesday. And her announcement that she and Bill left the White House 'dead broke', and it was a struggle to get the resources together for the mortgages they needed (note the plural here, it is not a typing error) for the houses they had to buy.
I heard about, and subsequently went to the BBC website, to read up on the row between the Home and Education Secretaries. I was aware that taxpayers were funding schools for Muslims, and I gather they are now being taken over by radical extremists.
I don't know what is worse. The radical Muslims and Taliban launching 9/11 style assaults on the US, or coming in the back door, as they are doing in Britain. I remember, shortly before I came here, when all crosses had to be removed from our hospital chapels. I still haven't got over that.
Let us hope for a better day tomorrow.
