    Good morning all. 
    Highlight of my day is having my hair cut at 11. It's a tough life.

    For some reason, listening to the Today programme this morning put me in mind of the vultures in the Jungle Book.

    We felt the same ... what a load of total numbskulls ... everyone thought they knew what they wanted but no one understood what it would take to get it.  It's like folk saying that they want to be 'famous' ... famous for what ... Jack the Ripper famous or Nelson Mandela famous? 

    'I want my country back' ... 'How are you going to achieve that?' ... 'Vote for Brexit' they say ........... oh dear, it just ain't that simple ... you can't just turn off a switch ....... those of us who pointed out the difficulties were 'scare mongers'.  They just didn't have a plan. The Secretary of State for NI has no idea of the implications of reinstating a hard border between NI and Eire, https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/sep/07/karen-bradley-admits-not-understanding-northern-irish-politics and the Brexit Secretary had no idea of the amount of trade passing though Dover https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-46142188.

    A young woman on tv last night voted Brexit 'cos her grandmother told her how lovely England was when she was a girl in the 50s/60s before we joined the EU ... Post War Britain ... an aspirational state? .  

    Whichever way any of us voted I'm sure this mess wasn't the result anyone wanted.  Meanwhile Boris and his new love are shacked up and plotting a take over ...

    Sorry folk ... I'll shut up now.

    Pat, if you hadn't said it was a caterpillar I might have thought it was a cactus! It's very pretty.

    It was -5° this morning but the sun is out. I'm hoping it will warm up enough to do something, maybe pruning, outside. Forecast says 10° It was only 1° an hour ago.

    Morning B Lizzie.  Yes the caterpillar is pretty. 
    The weather for all of us is difficult at the moment. I really want some change.

    BL - OH consults 2 forecasts when he has a golf match.  The popular one said 10C; the other 1C.  We have 1C.   It's bright and sunny and calm and doesn't look like it's perishing cold out there but it is.

    Escaped Brexit news, by spending a little time weeding.
    Having a Robin follow me around, was a great mood lifter, and he didn't mention Brexit once.
