What An Appropriate Day For An Election!!
I do hope, whichever way, the USA votes that it will end up best for the country ... best for the world.
However today, in England, we celebrate "Bonfire Night."
For those who don't know it is to commemorate Guy Fawkes ... who was one of the conspirators who planned to blow up the King (James I) on the opening of Parliament in 1605.
As is often said ... he is possibly the only man to enter parliament with a clear agenda.
So, how ironic that as we remember The Gunpowder Plot, USA has gone to the polls to elect their new President.
Remember, remember!
The fifth of November,
The Gunpowder treason and plot;
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!
Most of us know the beginning of the poem ... but that was all of it.
Well I am off to London tomorrow for Remembrance weeked.
I am looking forward to it, except that the bugs that stopped me meeting up with Brenda yesterday are a bit worse, so I spoke to the GP and he has started me on antibiotics for a chest infection.
So that is annoying, but atleast I can start treatment today and not have to go hunting for a hospital over the next couple of days.
As a result of me being away ....
5. Do you like fireworks displays, or are they just annoying at this time of year? Have you ever made your own fireworks display at home?
Until I was 12 we always had a firework display at home … I have fond memories of them.
I think the last large display I went to was 4th July 2017 when I was in Oregon. That was special, as well.
6. Pockets or a handbag/purse? Are you guilty of carrying things you don’t need in a bag because you haven’t decluttered for a while?
Pockets, please. Not really a fan of a handbag, at all.
7. Do you have a favourite apple?
I like most of them.
8. In 1895 German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen produced and detected electromagnetic radiation in a wavelength range today known as X-rays or Röntgen rays. Have you ever had your feet X-rayed?
Possibly as a child, as it used to be “normal” in some shoe shops.
The last time was back in 1982, when I was run over … they had to check on the injuries of both my ankles.
9. Wes Craven’s ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ premiered in the US in 1984. Have you ever seen it? Are you a fan of horror films?
Never seen it - and not a fan of the horror genre.
10. If calories didn’t affect your weight and you didn’t have to worry about the health implications, what would be your favourite thing to eat as a treat every single day?
Proper chips, from a good chip shop.
11. It’s Calista Flockhart’s birthday - did you ever watch Ally McBeal?
No
See you on the 12th x
