    Lol - the largest gathering of Weegies on holiday outside of Blackpool... I assume some of those will be Italian though? I think I've told you this before, my daughter's in-laws hail from Tuscany. She went over there a few years ago - their family loved her because she has such a monster appetite. I think she came back about a stone heavier

    I don't know exactly where she went, I'll be seeing her tomorrow, so I'll ask her.

    Went out shopping lunchtime and when we returned we discovered the fridge had packed up. These thing happen when you least expect them - still it had behaved without fault for nearly 50 years.

    So tomorrow we will go to Currys to see what they have got in stock, and when they can deliver. It is always the way: arranging a date for delivery when one's immediate diary is more or less full.

    Can you not arrange for a neighbour to take delivery? That's what I'd be doing.

    50 years lol - and I thought my fridge was old at 25. Although I don't know its real age as I bought it second-hand.

    I see on the news that Bullshit Barbie is leaving, this time for good. The previous time (a couple of months ago while she had a baby) didn't work out so well, her temporary replacements I think really struggled to "inform" the American people of the Trump Administration's latest achievements whilst keeping a straight face.

    Maybe Draft-dodger Donald himself will take on the job, as no one can do anything as well as he can, including lying about his lies.

    I think the fact that she was considered 'disposable' in remaining on board Airforce 1, whilst Trump and others (including his golf caddy!) flew off in another anonymous plane, upon learning that Airforce 1 might be targeted by an Iranian missile, might have something to do with it.

    Yes, that sort of thing is bound to make you feel undervalued. I thought it was just the press who were used as unwitting decoys, but it seems no one is safe when Trump is around, even less so when he leaves the area.

    In slightly related news, the expected thrashing of the Republicans at the hands of the Democrats in the upcoming Midterms, will give the Democrats the power to subpoena, which is a big thing apparently. And rather than go after Trump with impeachments (which he'd probably worm out of anyway), the plan is to go after the companies and organisations which appear to be complicit in the rapidly increasing wealth of Trump, his family, and friends.

    To properly piss him off, then sit back and watch him implode. Should be interesting I'm not well up on politics, so there will be details here I'm missing or misunderstanding, but I think I've got the gist of it.
