Watching the Chris Hedges Report on YouTube. Chris is a great commentator, very knowledgeable, and author of many good books. He was a journalist for many years and 'kicked off' the New York Times for being 'too left wing', i.e. critical of USA government policy and warmongering. Check him out!
Really productive day. Met up with friend Paul for a good chat at the café. The, in the afternoon, got some more gardening done. Planted chillies, spinach, spring onions, broccoli, and cauliflowers.
Hooray! Some sun and managed to get the garden started! Planted potatoes, broad beans and onions. I also had a couple of visitors.
Yesterday serial liar Boris Johnson was dragged before the privileges committee for lying to parliament. He lied to the committee. Taxpayers are funding his legal support to the tune of £250k. The sooner he is gone the better!
Monday. Bad start to the week. The outside drain is blocked so we had to get Dyno Rod in. Things got better when I went to Glossop to Celebrate Peter's birthday with a pub crawl and a curry. They were filming near the first pub for an ITV series called 'After the Flood'. A good time was had by all!
I watched theNovara Media programme where Aaron Bastiani interviewed the American TV host Medhi Hasan. He was born in the UK and is one of the few left wing hosts. He is very good at debating and showing up conservatives. Worth a watch. Also bought his book - recommended.
Mother's Day. Went to Ashbourne to meet up with Susie's mum and her brother David. We had a meal in the bowling green, and returned via the scenic route - Leek and Holmes Chapel. Forgot to take a photo in the pub!
Driving home
Took this photograph in Waitrose car park because of the blue sky! First I've seen for a while. Now I may be able to get on with some gardening.
Yesterday Jeremy Hunt delivered another useless Tory budget. Massive pension giveaway for the very rich. Nothing useful or helpful to the many.
Today, a photo of the potholes that have been on our road for years. Nothing has been done.
