Running away again...
« on: Jun 20, 2017, 07:57:11 PM »
Sometimes I get angry when I see some slimeball politician trying to blame everything on the government of the day.  Sometimes I despair at people with well intentioned but misplaced ideas.  And sometimes I think, why the hell should I worry  about things that don't affect me or my family.  So, to quote Simon & Garfunkel,  "I can gather all the news I need from the weather report" and it doesn't look too bad for the next few days.

The van is packed and we're heading off to Braemar for a few days.  No news, no phone, no internet - in fact I don't think you can get radio except NECR (Never ending crap).  Sometimes you just have to get away and forget about the world and its problems.

See you all next week.
You'll have had your tea.

That's a great song T. P Simon wrote it for A Garfunkel when he flew to Mexico to make Catch 22. P Simon was left alone,, "the only living boy in New York" of the title.
