Saturday 25th October


It has been hot today, in the 90s, I needed to cool down the car before I went out.

Most of the nation appears to have been pretty warm.

In the news.....................

I am sure you heard about the school shooting in Washington state.

This young lad, reported to be well liked and the son of a well known, prominent family, walked into the school cafeteria, killed one person and seriously wounded four others, two of whom were his cousins.
 
We all remember the Dunblane massacre in 1996, when 16 small children and a teacher were shot - it is etched into our national consciousness - hand guns were banned after that, and there hasn't been a school shooting since.  But unbelievably in this country, 297 people have been killed in school shootings since 1980,  and people still reckon they are safer for being allowed to have guns.  I can't fathom it, I just can't.
