not so lazy sunday

Following yesterday's epiphany moment, I have today been practising again with my 3 large pink balls (if you'll forgive my use of the expression) plus some of the other "extras" my wife and I going to show: spinning plates, spinning ball and yo-yo.

Our Indian summer is hanging on by its fingernails, giving warm, bright conditions, though out of the sun the north-easterly breeze makes itself felt keenly. In the garden our hazel nut crop seems to have come to end. It needs a good summer to perform, hence the for the last 3 years we have had jack. But this year we have collected nearly 5KG- enough for several nut roasts. That, of course will be after I have shelled them all. This I will leave until after our return from abroad and my performance is done.

Who'd a thunk it? The lefty brother won out over his more-fancied centrist sibling. This is good news for Labour, and good news for the nation if he ever wins power. But how did he do it? I think the unions wanted him because when they start mounting big-time protests against the public spending cuts, they're going to need all the friends they can get. They know they'll be shafted by the establishment press, and by most of the electronic media as well, but it might just work. After all, it was the strikes in the 1979 "winter of discontent" which sealed the fate of the incumbent government at the time. We can only hope...
