Woke up this morning to the news that we are having a Referendum on leaving the European Union. Am I too late to apply for an absent vote???? I voted against us joining in the first place, they should have listened to me then, saved themselves this trouble.
After digesting this I settled down to watch the Funeral Mass of Justice Scalia. I am not usually appreciative of High Catholic services, but this was WONDERFUL, it was BEAUTIFUL, conducted by his son, a Catholic priest.
I reflected on the fact that it could certainly be said that Justice Scalia's was a life well lived, right up to the very end; he spent the day quail hunting, then went to bed that night and stepped into an alternate reality. Wouldn't we all like to go like that.
I know that because of his stance on controversial issues like abortion he had critics, enemies even, but "Judgement is Mine, Saith the Lord".
This evening's television is all politics, heavy politics, over my head, about primaries and caucuses, whatever they are.
It is very warm here at the moment, I went out earlier in the day and it was 80 degrees. Warmer than an average summer's day in England.
