Tuesday 11th

I haven't felt too well lately, had very intense pain at the side of my face and went to the doctor, but she was fully booked.  She's not there tomorrow, but I'll go on Thursday if it is still bothering me.  Also got some back pain which is making me walk around as if I'm 90.   Instead of pushing 80.

 

I wasn't so bad this morning, managed my chaplaincy round, it didn't take too long as at least  half the rooms had precaution notices outside, which I bypass because I can't afford to pick up anything infectious.

 

Have been looking at the news...............

This is a big deal actually.   The FBI actually marching into her home and seizing her computer server, and they don't do that unless they have serious cause for concern.  But she is still swanning around pretending she is a Presidential candidate, and not worried.  I don't know  how long she can keep it up.  Probably until she is formally indicted on criminal charges.

 

I don't know if I've mentioned that there is another Democrat in the race, Bernie Sanders, who is a decent, straightforward guy.  Unfortunately, from an American point of view he is a Socialist, and over here that is a very BAD thing.  Americans traditionally have always rejected socialism, but it is being said that they are coming round to it, particularly younger people and Bernie Sanders seems to be picking up quite a bit of support.

 

Also still in the Presidential race, SIGH, is the insufferable Trump, full of himself,  gabbling away, constantly saying how wonderful, how rich, how generous, how everyone loves him (yeah, right).  Last week Mexicans were the lowest form of life, they were "criminals" and "rapists" and it must have been pointed out to him that is not going to win him the Hispanic vote, so this week they are wonderful, they love him, and he employs thousands, thousands of them - probably in his hotels, paying them the minimum wage. 

 

One other item in the news..........

Just when you think political correctness can't reach any further heights - or is it depths - of absurdity.

If you are looking for boys, or girls, items you have just got to wander the aisles until you find what you are looking for, because it is just not pc to label them 'boys' or 'girls'.

 

I think I'll wrap this up, stretch my aching back and go to bed.
