Diary 220

Saturday, October 24th

Today was Yoga day, led by two very limber grandkids (5 and 7) and a suitable video. The kids were enchanted. I confess I had trouble with a few of the poses – Standing Pretzel was hard – but I also did fairly well with Resting Marmot, even if some people think that particular pose looks a lot like Middle-Aged-Dude-Lying-Down-for-a-Nap pose. I can’t think why we haven’t done this before. It looks as if it’ll be a regular fixture.

The world seems to beholding its breath until this election is over – a mere 11 days to go now. Certainly Boris Johnson thinks the result will guide him in his future idiocies to be inflicted on the UK, especially the no-deal Brexit decision.

As for ourselves, the early ballots have recorded over 6 million votes in California alone and probably the highest voter turn out since 1908. Despite all the attempts at voter suppression voters are at least turning out for once. It could be that all the ‘president’s’ attempts to disenfranchise us will back fire. He may have overplayed his hand or (to use and English phrase) he’s over-egged the custard. We shall see.  If you haven’t already, VOTE.
