Such sad News about the poor little girl on the Cleveland Way.

What a horrible way to die, I hope it was a quick end for her.

I don't mind admitting it has moved me to tears.

I’ve managed to achieve something useful today. I’ve sanded down yesterday’s filling and given the patches another skim of filler.

That’s quite enough for one day, thanks very much. I’m supposed to be retired.

Still raining here. Have just started watching the Giro and it’s raining over there too. Suspect it’s warmer over there though.

Not the start of a NCAP discussion but I think apathy has set in re the impending election at chez moi.

For the first time ever we are thinking of not bothering to vote on the basis that changes in political direction will make very little difference to us at our time of life.

Probably flawed thinking but, despite being young at heart, very active etc we feel generally out of kilter with what is happening globally and in the UK, especially with the unprecedented societal shifts and new cultural 'norms' that we have witnessed these last few decades.

It's feeling a bit 'not our world' out there.

Anyone else feeling the same?

Is this just an age thing or something else?

Not sure an election down south affects us much.

One for Dirk, and the following lot.

I think the SNP might be in for a shock though. I think they’ve lost quite a bit of support so it should be interesting.
