and hows the patient?
She’s better, thanks. She’s at the “bad head cold” stage. Her biggest complaint (among many) is that it’s affecting her taste.
No, that’s always been suspect.Not in men hopefully
Yesterday we had continuous rain until about 2.30 pm, so the temperature dropped to about 23C. Sweater time.
Today it's bright and sunny and already 25C ( about 78F). I'm going to do some gardening, I think.

How’s the protesting going? Ramping up or calming down?
Ramping up. They're not even in 1st gear yet. It's going to get ugly until this so-called socialist bus driver gets the Hell out of here.
Oh dear, not like in the UK then where theres an initial flare of temper, a crescendo and then everyone calms down?
No. This time, people are really, really pi***d off. 25 years of empty promises and 25 years of bare-faced sacking of the country (for their own benefit), destruction of institutions and horrific repression. Yesterday there were videos of hundreds, and hundreds of people walking down from the slums. That means it's not only the supposed middle/upper classes who are protesting (as the government would have us think), it means it's the people they're supposed to be supporting.
There's going to be a lot of bloodshed here in the next few days.

I really feel for them. Corruption is such a killer, literally.
Apparently many countries laugh at the UK’s corruption as somewhat pedestrian, like here they haven’t properly got the hang of plundering the countries wealth. I think they have, they just do it quietly by giving pointless contracts for millions to their friends who can’t actually deliver the goods.
Then I read about places like Venezuela and think perhaps they have a point
Anyway whilst politics is a forbidden topic on here I best steer back and say what everyone else is saying - please take care and be safe.
And keep us updated.

Did something change? We've discussed politics in the past, keeping things civil of course.
Not changed really. As you say, so long as it's civil. No ranting.
Hmm when discussing Brexits effects on food recently a minor non-inflammatory diversionary conversion occurred and this was posted in response-
From the first rule of the forum:
I guess that's not the case?
