    Heard about it on the radio this morning.
    Problem is, you don't know whether she shares the family characteristics of being a total untrustworthy liar.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    Not sure it matters @punkdoc as I am sure many folk had the measure of him before this 'tell all' book. When he was elected I was reminded of 'Dr Strangelove' decided to hope there were enough strong, sane people around to keep him in check  :(

    My hope is that those who are taken in by him will read the book and start to ask questions but, then again, the USA is the seat of conspiracy theories so who knows?

    I love the bit where a couple say they support Trump because he doesn't underestimate their intelligence (snort)

    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Two reasons to be cheerful here. 

    1) Belgian government has decided that couples don't have two have a trolley each in shops. Helps my arthritic hand joints a lot.

    2) Purchased a rose arch today and there was almost 70% reduction off the price. Mr B was chuffed.

    Fresh picked cucumber sandwiches on brown bread for lunch  :)  I've come over all Hyacinth!

    We have managed to re-hang the door on the ex donkey shed/future hen house without getting a divorce and it actually fits now and opens and closes!

    We'll be using freshly picked yellow courgettes and Sungold tomatoes to make a light prawn curry for dinner.

    As a newbie gardener, this is the only post I can relate to. 😊
    I’ve no idea what I’m doing.
