Changing times
My mother went back into the care home yesterday to join my father. I took the evening off and watched telly. My father still recognises both of us. I recognise some of the other residents now. Gladys is usually on the prowl; Babba (my name for her) sits in chair, smiles and says 'Babba' loudly every few minutes; Frank walks around asking people what time supper is.
Posted my application for a replacement driving licence to the DVLA. It cost me £1.20 to send it and £4.50 to include the special delivery envelope for them to return my birth certificate in.
Phoned the Public Guardianship Office to enquire about my application to buy my parents' house. They received it a week after I posted it, (so much for the first class recorded delivery) and have fifteen days in which to reply. I should hear by the end of next week.
Some Labour MPs want Tony Blair to go; they are probably not the only ones. They want a new leader. However, they do not say what they dislike about his leadership other than they didn't like the way he handled the fighting in Lebanon recently. They seem to have forgotten about the invasion of Iraq. They don't say why another leader will be better or what they want him or her (probably a him) to do. They are tired of the old and want a change. Change for changes's sake; no real plans. No way to run a household, or a business, let alone a country. They are almost making him out to be a dictator. Surely they must agree to his half-baked ideas for them to become policies, unless I have misunderstood the nature of the government.
Thought for today
Democracy is the name we give the people whenever we need them.
