The weather has changed from warm, sunny, in the 70s, to chilly and very, very wet. It just rained heavily for hours and hours. I went to the 10.30 service at Emmanuel, and the church was only half full, I don't think I have ever seen such a sparse congregation. I think quite a few families must still be away because there are usually a lot more children than there were this morning.
So there is not a lot to write about. Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton are still hurling insults. I think Ben Carson, who seemed to be a front runner for quite a while, now seems to be falling in the polls. Part of me can't actually believe that Donald Trump could be President, occupying the Oval Office - anybody less Presidential would be hard to imagine, and yet he is still up there in the polls with Cruz and Rubio. I think they are going to be the front runners and it won't be long before the others drop out, they're just hanging in, hoping for cabinet posts and ambassadorial appointments in the new administration.
I don't know if I am imagining it, but there seems to be even more tv adverts than usual, and there always were plenty. I am sure they take up twenty minutes out of every sixty, one day when I am not knitting and crocheting I will do a survey.
And speaking of adverts - there is a very curious one running at the moment. It is for a home dryer/freezer, or it may be a freezer/dryer. Anyway, it freeze dries food that then lasts for 25 years!!! I can't get my head round that - who, who, wants to think of what they are going to be eating in 25 years time????? It wouldn't surprise me though if Peter and Michael down at the monastery have got one.
