Sorry to hear you’ve been ill. Flu is horrible- make sure you take the time to convalesce.

It’s over 75s only in Wales too. I’m 74. I have to drive OH to the vaccination centre ( it’s not done locally here) but I can’t be vaxed. I’m planning to pay. 😠

I'm drinking coffee while thinking about the gardening I'm going to do. I may need a second cup to allow time for all the thinking...

It is embarassing not to see the BBC pulling up Reform leaders claiming that Nathan Gill was just some fan who got photos taken with Farage - he was an MEP for them & their leader in Wales while taking cash from Russia to act against the UK! Literally the very basics of your job to point this out

We now know that any time he wanted Donald Trump could have rung Benjamin Netanyahu and ordered him to stop the destruction of Gaza. He chose not to. Imposing a peace at the barrel of a gun after laying waste does not deserve a Nobel prize.
